mm.git review status for linus..mm-nonmm-stable
Total patches: 134 Fixes: tags: 86 cc:stable patches: 52 Reviews/patch: 0.73 Reviewed rate: 59% Summary of patch series in this merge: - "ocfs2: exit recovery thread on mount error path" (Joseph Qi): Stop OCFS2 recovery before freeing failed-mount state and replay slots, closing use-after-free and double-free races. Defer suballocator reclaim to break a transaction-lock deadlock with dismount. - "ocfs2: validate suballoc slot and bit of metadata blocks" (Joseph Qi): Validate OCFS2 metadata suballocator slots, bits and directory index block locations. Reject corrupt metadata with filesystem errors instead of BUGs or out-of-bounds accesses. - "ocfs2: deal with legacy signed name hash values" (Joseph Qi): Restore OCFS2 lookups for non-ASCII names stored with legacy signed hashes. Use stored xattr hashes during bucket splits to avoid duplicate entries and spurious ENOSPC failures. - "ocfs2: stabilize dentry names in file and setattr traces" (Cen Zhang): Snapshot OCFS2 names during file and setattr tracing to prevent rename races using freed storage or mismatched names and lengths. Preserve trace formats and the locked release open-count sample. - "panic: fix panic_force_cpu= redirect races and NMI bypass" (Bradley Morgan): Fix panic_force_cpu races and NMI redirection so crash-kernel CPU selection is honored. Preserve variable arguments on failed redirects and use a static message buffer. - "fat: allocate multiple clusters in fallocate" (Matheus Alves de Almeida): Allocate FAT clusters in batches for FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE and batch FAT updates. This removes repeated single-cluster allocation overhead, particularly on synchronous mounts. - "scripts/gdb: fix radix tree lookup and stack depot diagnostic" (Ting-Han Hou): Fix GDB radix-tree lookup and its handling of XArray sibling, retry and zero entries. Also repair the stack-depot diagnostic for an out-of-range pool index. - "hung_task: Improve warning budget handling and task reporting" (Aaron Tomlin): Reset the hung-task warning budget after recovery so later hangs remain visible. Keep the configured limit intact and emit one summary per scan when detailed reports exhaust the budget. - "bootconfig: Reject unexpected data after null character and cleanups" (Masami Hiramatsu (Google)): Reject bootconfig data after an embedded null while accepting trailing padding. Validate the full input in the userspace tool, and retain internal tree sanity checks there rather than in the kernel. - "kbuild: GCOV cleanups following the prefer-atomic fix" (Konstantin Khorenko): Use the actual GCOV build flags in the prefer-atomic compiler probe. Move flag setup into scripts/Makefile.gcov and skip the probe when GCOV is disabled. - "ocfs2: xattr bucket validation fixes" (Joseph Qi): Accept valid OCFS2 xattr buckets spanning 512-byte blocks, avoiding false read-only remounts. Reject misaligned buckets and return errors instead of panicking on corrupt defrag metadata. - "ocfs2: fix metadata reservation for xattr value trees" (Joseph Qi): Reserve enough OCFS2 metadata for new and relocated xattr value trees. Fix shortfalls which could cause ENOSPC, dropped entries and leaked clusters on fragmented filesystems; remove duplicate reservations. - "Introduce arch_do_panic" (Mete Durlu): Add arch_do_panic() and move s390 and sparc handling out of generic panic code. The architecture-specific actions now follow the end-of-panic marker. - "checkpatch: userspace improvements" (Petr Vorel): Improve checkpatch's userspace detection and suppress kernel-only checks. Recognize standard inttypes macros and add explicit --userspace and --no-userspace overrides. - "ocfs2: validate dr_fs_generation of dir index root blocks" (Joseph Qi): Check OCFS2 directory index generations and leaf block numbers. Reject stale or misplaced blocks instead of using metadata left by a previously formatted filesystem. - "selftests/membarrier: Skip an unregistered memory barrier test on Musl" (Chris Gellermann): Skip the unregistered membarrier test when libc has already registered the command. Musl does this during thread creation, causing false failures in the multithreaded test. - "init: fix array boundary bugs in boot parameter parsing" (Wilson Felipe Pereira): Fix boot argument boundary cases which leave stale arguments in init's command line or panic when replacing the final environment variable. Clear the last slot and check duplicates before the limit. Summary of the 87 singletons in this merge: The OCFS2 singletons fix deadlocks between xattr updates and inline truncation, and during inode reclaim. Corrupt quota and extent metadata could also crash the kernel or corrupt memory; these paths now check the layout before using it. Other fixes close use-after-free and publication races around cluster reconfiguration, node failure, quota remount errors and shared refcount trees. New files now retain security labels from all stacked LSMs instead of silently dropping all but one. Valid xattr insertions also stop tripping FORTIFY on builds with counted arrays. Elsewhere, a lost wakeup could leave hardware-monitoring reads stuck in unkillable sleep and block further I2C traffic. That is fixed, as are kernel memory leaks in POSIX message-queue notifications and tmpfs casefold setup which could grow until memory is exhausted. A driver removal race which could crash the kernel is fixed too. The hibernation command through reboot() also stops taking the same mutex twice, avoiding a deadlock before suspension. On the boot side, bzip2 decoding now accepts valid full blocks emitted by lbzip2, fixing failures to boot those compressed kernels. Malformed bzip2 streams can no longer overflow the decode buffer, and LZ4 initrds are checked before the decoder can read past their end. FAT rejects geometry which overflows the data-area calculation on 32-bit systems, and rolls back entries when inode setup fails, preventing failed creations from reappearing after remount. The x86 XOR and RAID6 AVX paths also avoid imposing a slowdown on subsequent SSE code. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCat57YgAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA jofGAQDBRlA6AI/WIWAuSb9FH4RIMe16EU3klIYoNqgY3eMbLwD/f8J1rm4gBpBl eXV7nwZMb8Ackw1+2CuBtbvpLfjQUA4= =JLjf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2026-10-25-14-57' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "ocfs2: exit recovery thread on mount error path" (Joseph Qi): Stop OCFS2 recovery before freeing failed-mount state and replay slots, closing use-after-free and double-free races.

Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:
"Major changes:
- Introduce scalar evolution (SCEV) analysis in the verifier.
It infers how registers and stack slots change in a loop and lets
the verifier check bounded loops with induction variables as ranges
instead of walking every iteration. The number of processed insns
drops ten fold in programs with loops (Eduard Zingerman)
- Add 'callx' instruction: indirect call of a static BPF subprogram.
The address is taken with ld_imm64 or loaded from read-only data.
Supported by x86-64, arm64 and riscv64 JITs (Alexei Starovoitov, Pu
Lehui)
- Add unwind_goto and unwind_exit instructions, so that Rust panic or
C++ exception can run destructors of every frame it passes through.
The normal path is free of unwind code. Supported by x86-64 and
arm64 JITs (Alexei Starovoitov)
- Support programs compiled by rust-bpf: treat load and store through
a number as arena access with BPF_F_ARENA_SCALAR, accept rust names
in BTF (Alexei Starovoitov)
- Raise BPF program stack size from 512 bytes to 2 KiB on x86-64 and
arm64 (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi)
- Support struct, union and __int128 up to 16 bytes passed and
returned by value in BPF subprograms and kfuncs, and fix x86-64 and
arm64 trampolines for such arguments (Yonghong Song)
- Introduce a common way to attach struct_ops to a cgroup via
bpf_link. bpf_tcp_ops is the first user and mirrors TCP sock_ops
callbacks (Martin KaFai Lau, Amery Hung)
- Describe inlined functions in BTF. New kinds tell where the inline
sites are and how to fetch the arguments there.
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_INLINE keeps it apart from the main BTF in
.BTF.inline section or in btf_vmlinux_inline.ko (Alan Maguire)
- Fix many memory safety, lifetime and locking bugs in BPF core,
verifier, iterators, local storage, dynptr, devmap, cpumap and
seg6local (Josef Bacik, Alexei Starovoitov)
- Diff stat is dominated by selftests and by removal of
lib/test_bpf.c. Its 16k lines of instruction tests were converted
to BPF selftests that BPF CI runs on every architecture it covers
(Daniel Borkmann)
Other features and fixes:
- Add KASAN checks to memory accesses of JITed programs on x86-64
(Alexis Lothoré)
- Complete unification of helper, kfunc and subprog argument checks
in the verifier (Amery Hung)
- Add bpf_copy_from_user_mm[_str]() kfuncs (Anastasios Papagiannis)
- Various features and fixes (Daniel Borkmann):
- Add .bpf keyring for program signature verification, modelled
after dm-verity keyring, and support ML-DSA in signing tools
- Emit shorter and faster code in x86-64 JIT for patterns that
LLVM generates
- Fix various issues in gotox handling
- Let BPF LSM set xattrs at inode creation with bpf_inode_init_xattr()
(David Windsor, Daniel Borkmann)
- Use sleepable page allocation in sleepable arena paths. Fix races
between arena free, allocation and user page fault (Emil Tsalapatis)
- Switch BPF crypto from lskcipher to AES-CBC and AES-ECB libraries
(Eric Biggers)
- Add bpf_proactive_reclaim() kfunc (Hui Zhu)
- Render decl_tags in libbpf btf_dump and add tests for bpftool C
dump (Ihor Solodrai)
- Speed up tracing_multi attach on x86 (Jiri Olsa)
- Various features and fixes (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi):
- Add BPF_PROG_STREAM_OPEN command to read BPF streams through a
file descriptor with poll support
- Let kernel structs publish arena pointers with __arena type tag
- Fix __uninit kfunc output buffers and fastcall rewrite with
indirect stack accesses
- Refuse CO-RE relocations for signed programs
- Add enqueue_rcvq and dequeue_rcvq hooks to bpf_tcp_ops to adjust
sk_rcvlowat and avoid unnecessary wakeups (Kuniyuki Iwashima)
- Add bpf_ksock_sendto() kfunc and allow ksock connect and send from
bpf_wq (Mahe Tardy)
- Fix racy plt target update in arm64 bpf_arch_text_poke()
(Matthew Wood)
- Restructure BPF selftests Makefile as a layered build
(Mykola Lysenko)
- Speed up hash map lookups for u32 and u64 keys (Mykyta Yatsenko)
- Add signed div/mod, movsx, bswap and gotol to MIPS JITs, signed
div/mod to parisc JITs (Nicholas Dudar, Johan Almbladh)
- Fix stack overflow in build ID parser on 32-bit (Nickolai
Zeldovich)
- Add stack arguments, signed arena loads and gotox to riscv64 JIT.
Pu Lehui is now co-maintainer of riscv BPF JITs (Pu Lehui, Chen
Pei, Feng Jiang)
- Add bpf_call_rcu() and bpf_call_rcu_tasks_trace() kfuncs. Support
fetching and/or/xor atomics in arena on x86-64 (Puranjay Mohan)
- Fix flaky selftests, selftests with clang 23 and bpf-gcc
(Qiliang Yuan, KaFai Wan, Vineet Gupta)
- Fix builds broken by fatal resolve_btfids warnings, BTF generation
on ARC, and define arch_cmpxchg_local() on arc, hexagon and
openrisc (Sasha Levin)
- Reduce memory use of hash maps by up to 50% per element
(T.J. Mercier)
- Mark pointer fields of sched_ext ops arguments as trusted (Tejun
Heo)
- Remove legacy bpf_asm, bpf_dbg and bpf_jit_disasm tools (Xia Yan)
- Fix index overflow in queue and stack maps, arena range tree after
allocation failure, tail call loop after freplace detach, lost
signal in bpf_send_signal() (Yuan Chen)
- Many more fixes and cleanups"

ARCH=um updates:
- NOMMU support, mostly for mm/ testing
The only bigger change, we added support for building with
!CONFIG_MMU, mostly for testing, e.g. via kunit. Some new
selftests targetted to NOMMU are moving elsewhere, but are
runnable on ARCH=um without MMU.
- Tighter page permissions
Tighten page permissions to catch more bugs (ARCH=um is,
after all, often used for testing), and also mark __init
memory inaccessible for the same reason.
- Various maintenance/cleanups
Fix build on really old hosts, fix leaks, make the code a
bit more robust, header cleanups, typo fixes, the usual.

Tighten page permissions to catch more bugs (ARCH=um is,
after all, often used for testing), and also mark __init
memory inaccessible for the same reason.
- Various maintenance/cleanups
Fix build on really old hosts, fix leaks, make the code a
bit more robust, header cleanups, typo fixes, the usual.

selftests/bpf: Remove the old test_bpf module
The instruction tests of the test_bpf module live in the BPF selftests now, as the jit_insns test of test_progs, which BPF CI runs on every architecture it covers, and its skb_segment tests have a KUnit successor in net/core/net_test.c. Remove the module together with its Kconfig entry, the test_kmod.sh and test_bpf.sh wrappers of the bpf and net selftests, the config fragments and defconfigs that enabled it, as well as all other references to it and symbol exports in core kernel. For archs wanting to support BPF JITs, it's time they move over to the BPF selftests for proper coverage.

resource, kunit: stop selecting GET_FREE_REGION
RESOURCE_KUNIT_TEST selects GET_FREE_REGION even when no other option
needs it. Remove the selection to follow the dependency rule in
Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/style.rst.
Skip resource_test_region_intersects() when GET_FREE_REGION is disabled.
GET_FREE_REGION has no prompt, so configurations without a production
consumer cannot enable it. Most configurations will therefore skip this
case; this is intentional. The union and intersection tests remain
available.
Since kunit_skip() does not return, the compiler drops the reference to
the unavailable alloc_free_mem_region(), as in the CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS
check in drivers/of/of_test.c.

kbuild, btf: Expose vmlinux inline BTF through sysfs
Expose BTF inline-location information from vmlinux .BTF.inline sections in /sys/kernel/btf as vmlinux.inline. Embedded vmlinux inline BTF supports read-only mmap(). Provide runtime support for a module-delivered vmlinux inline BTF carrier. Its link record binds the carrier module name, BTF size, and SHA-256 digest to the running kernel before its data is made available through a lazy vmlinux.inline sysfs attribute. The carrier is handled before ordinary module BTF registration, so its incidental .BTF data is not exposed. Make CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_INLINE tristate. When configured as a module, retain vmlinux final split inline BTF for btf_vmlinux_inline.ko instead of embedding it in vmlinux. Reserve .BTF.inline.link in vmlinux and extend the final resolve_btfids patch pass to bind btf_vmlinux_inline to the raw vmlinux.BTF.inline payload. This preserves the normal built-in configuration while allowing the large inline BTF payload to load on demand. Normal module inline BTF is handled separately, after its references have been relocated against the final module BTF.

lib: Move SipHash into lib/crypto/
The addition of SipHash to lib/ predated the existence of the lib/crypto/ directory. Since SipHash is a cryptographic algorithm, move it from the top-level lib/ directory to lib/crypto/. (This does mean HalfSipHash comes with it too, as it's in the same files. But lib/crypto/ still seems like the proper place for both.) Specifically: - Move both siphash.c and siphash_kunit.c. Keep the header <linux/siphash.h> as-is for now. - Drop the dedicated MAINTAINERS entry for SipHash, as per the suggestion from Jason (https://lore.kernel.org/r/asB7QVFMlgKgbje2@zx2c4.com/). The C files now just fold up to the "CRYPTO LIBRARY" entry. Add the header explicitly, as it otherwise would be left unmaintained. - Move the kconfig option that controls the KUnit test. Put "CRYPTO_LIB" in its name and update the prompt and help text to make it consistent with the other crypto library test options. - Enable the KUnit test in lib/crypto/.kunitconfig. - Link to siphash.rst from the appropriate place in libcrypto-hash.rst. - Use obj-y instead of lib-y, for consistency with the fact that currently lib/crypto/ doesn't use kbuild's support for library file goals. We could keep it as lib-y, but virtually every kernel needs SipHash support anyway (with vsprintf, printk, IPv4, IPv6, etc. depending on it) so there is no practical difference in this case.

lib/842: add KUnit tests for the decompressor
Add table-driven tests for the 842 decompressor's output and history validation. Three malformed streams cover an indexed copy larger than the remaining output, short data larger than the remaining output, and a repeat after fewer than eight output bytes. Every case checks the return value, output length and fixed guard bands on both sides of the output. Successful cases also check complete contents from a poison-filled destination. The repeat vector's CRC includes the leading guard byte, so the unfixed decoder successfully validates the CRC after reading before the buffer. Three valid streams cover the same boundaries at equality: an I8 index consuming the final eight bytes, five short-data bytes consuming the final five, and a repeat with exactly one block of history. On an unmodified baseline the malformed cases fail and the boundary cases pass; with the preceding fixes all six pass.

lib/test_csd_lock: Add a module to stall a CPU on a CSD lock
Add test_csd_lock, a module that keeps one CPU from answering an IPI for as long as its stall_ms parameter says, so that the CSD-lock debug code has a stall to report. With in_handler=1 the CPU stalls inside a CSD handler instead, which is the case where the IPI is not re-sent. The module needs CONFIG_CSD_LOCK_WAIT_DEBUG and csdlock_debug=1. Loading it runs one stall and then fails the load with -EAGAIN, the way test_lockup does, so that nothing is left loaded afterwards.

percpu: drop CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU
alpha requires percpu variables in modules to be defined as weak so that the compiler generates GOT based external references for them. This puts two extra restrictions on percpu variable definitions. The symbol must be globally unique even when static and a static percpu variable can't be defined inside a function. DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU exists to give generic code build coverage for these restrictions without building for alpha. MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING defines a static percpu counter at each allocation call site and thus can't be built with weak percpu definitions, so it depends on !DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU. As allmodconfig enables DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU, this knocks MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING out of allmodconfig build coverage. allmodconfig coverage for MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING is worth more than build coverage for restrictions which only matter to alpha module builds. Drop DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU. Restriction violations will now show up only on alpha builds.

around bootmem HugeTLB handling, sparse initialization ordering, and
related vmemmap setup".
- The 4 patch series "mm/zsmalloc: reduce lock contention in zs_free()"
from Wenchao Hao reduces lock contention in zs_free(), which dominates
the unmap path under memory pressure on Android (LMK kills) and on x86
servers running zswap-heavy workloads. Up to 1.83x improvement in
microbenchmarking.
- The 2 patch series "move alloc_tag.c file under mm/" from Suren
Baghdasaryan does that.
- The 6 patch series "samples/damon: handle damon_{start,stop}()
failures" from SJ Park fixes improper handling of damon_start(),
damon_stop(), and damon_call() failures across DAMON sample modules to
prevent potential memory leaks, operation disruptions and use-after-free
bugs.
- The 11 patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: kobject_del() directories that
users can create/remove" from SJ Park resolves an issue where delayed
sysfs directory removal under CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE causes
creation failures due to duplicate directory names by adding missing
kobject_del() calls before creating new directories.
- The 3 patch series "mm: cleanup clear_not_present_full_ptes()" from
David Hildenbrand cleans up the core pte handling code.
- The 3 patch series "selftests/damon: misc fixes for test bugs" from
Kunwu Chan fixes several bugs in the DAMON selftests.
- The 2 patch series "selftests/damon: fix memcg_path staging handling"
from Cheng Nie fixes a bug in _damon_sysfs.py for damos_filter
memcg_path setup, and adds a test case for it in sysfs.py.
- The 2 patch series "selftests/damon: test kdamond refresh_ms" from
Ruslan Valiyev introduces selftest coverage for DAMON's refresh_ms sysfs
feature by updating the test control module and verifying that scheme
stats update automatically without manual intervention.
- The 5 patch series "mm/damon: five misc fixups" from Akinobu Mita
contains miscellaneous DAMON fixups.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon/core: detect internal variation above
max_nr_regions/2" from Jiayuan Chen fixes DAMON's region splitting
behavior when region counts exceed half the maximum budget by
dynamically scaling down the split fraction as the limit approaches,
preventing large regions from staying un-split, and adds corresponding
KUnit test coverage.
- The 6 patch series "mm: preparatory patches for PMD level swap
entries" from Usama Arif refactors and cleans up PMD softleaf helpers,
call sites, and architecture flags to lay the groundwork for a follow-up
series that introduces PMD page table swap entries.
- The 11 patch series "mm/damon: update, optimize, and clean up doc,
tests, and code" from SJ Park updates DAMON design and ABI
documentation, expands unit and selftest coverage, optimizes
damon_commit_target_regions(), and cleans up recently added sysfs
interface code for better readability.
- The 2 patch series "mm/vmpressure: reduce CPU, memory and code
overhead on cgroup v2" from Usama Arif optimizes vmpressure() by
skipping unnecessary work on cgroup v2 for userspace event notifications
and refactors v1-only eventfd handling into mm/memcontrol-v1.c to reduce
memory overhead and code complexity.
- The 10 patch series "selftests/mm: refactor pkey helpers and fix mmap
error handling" from Hongfu Li refactors pkeys shared tracing and
assertion helpers into a common file, unifies protection key selftests
to use consistent diagnostic logging and assertions, and enforces
standardized MAP_FAILED return checks for mmap() calls across the tests.
- The 18 patch series "mm/damon: optimize out nr_accesses_bp" from SJ
Park replaces the error-prone, continuously updated nr_accesses_bp field
in damon_region with an on-demand moving sum function
(damon_nr_accesses_mvsum()), reducing structure memory overhead and
avoiding state corruption bugs.
- The 6 patch series "Open HugeTLB allocation routine for more generic
use" from Ackerley Tng decouples HugeTLB folio allocation from VMA
dependencies by introducing hugetlb_alloc_folio(), enabling subsystems
like guest_memfd to allocate HugeTLB folios without standard VMA
reservations or pseudo-VMAs.
- The 3 patch series "mm/damon: provide pseudo moving sum probe_hits"
from SJ Park integrates DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter into the
pseudo moving sum infrastructure, enabling real-time, online monitoring
without waiting for full aggregation intervals.
- The 18 patch series "mm: Some cleanups for page allocator APIs" from
Brendan Jackman simplifies and refactors the page allocator entry points
and flags by unifying allocation paths, adding internal alloc_flags
arguments, and eliminating redundant __ prefixed alloc_pages variants.
- The 5 patch series "Fix incorrect access of hugetlb pte entries" from
Dev Jain enforces the consistent use of huge_ptep_get() instead of
ptep_get() for HugeTLB entries and fixes an unaligned address issue in
arm64's huge_ptep_get() implementation.
- The 8 patch series "mm/damon: validate all parameters in the core"
from SJ Park consolidates parameter validation into the DAMON core
specifically within damon_start() and damon_commit_ctx() to centralize
error checking, eliminate caller-side redundant checks and to improve
maintenance efficiency.
- The 3 patch series "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix filtering and
cleanup issues" from Yichong Chen renames is_need() to filter_record()
for clearer return semantics, fixes per-record allocation memory leaks
and bounds output copies in search_pattern() to address an existing
buffer issue.
- The 4 patch series "memcg: bail out reclaim when memcg is dying" from
Jiayuan Chen mitigates a system-wide stall which occurs when a cgroup is
removed while one of its memory control files is doing synchronous
reclaim.
- The 5 patch series "mm/memory-failure: add panic option for
unrecoverable pages" from Breno Leitao introduces an opt-in
vm.panic_on_unrecoverable_memory_failure sysctl that immediately panics
the kernel on unrecoverable memory errors in kernel-owned pages to
preserve error context and prevent delayed, silent data corruption.
- The 11 patch series "mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}()
for simple error handling" from SJ Park refactors the DAMON core API
functions to guarantee that all contexts are fully stopped when
damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit() fail, eliminating the
need for complex and error-prone caller-side cleanup code.
- The 5 patch series "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio
split" from Zi Yan adds checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when
freeing compound or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages
during large folio splits. By validating these fields at free and split
time, it allows the removal of redundant private field clearing inside
prep_compound_tail().
- The 4 patch series "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio
reuse paths" from Barry Song eliminates redundant lru_add_drain() calls
in wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock
contention and system overhead.
By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining
and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a
30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads.
- The 3 patch series "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" from
Jianyue Wu reorganizes folio LRU and swap code by relocating
page-cluster state to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c,
and moving MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h.
- The 15 patch series "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest
memory" from Kiryl Shutsemau adds userfaultfd support for tracking the
working set of VM guest memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and
reclaim cold ones to tiered or remote storage.
- The 10 patch series "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part
2)" from David Hildenbrand removes the remaining pieces of
CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, performing some smaller cleanups around
freeing of reserved vmemmap pages on the way.
- The 7 patch series "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter
commits" from SJ Park ensures that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter
is properly updated when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime,
matching the behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and
renames existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to
probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to
maintain measurement accuracy.
- The 3 patch series "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm"
from xu xin resolves a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck
where thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended
lock contention. By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap
walk, it reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms
down to under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes
under memory pressure.
- The 3 patch series "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h"
from Mike Rapoport splits declarations related to mm_init, memblock,
vmalloc and sparse into new headers.
- The 2 patch series "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()"
from xu xin applies the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm()
to collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during
KSM memory error handling. It hoists loop-invariant address
initialization and restricts the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to
a targeted page offset range, reducing redundant checks and improving
lookup efficiency.
- The 3 patch series "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and
KSM tests" from Sayali Patil fixes issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM
selftest categories that can report failures when the prerequisites for
the tests are not satisfied.
- The 19 patch series "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only
monitoring" from SJ Park introduces attribute-weighted region management
in DAMON, allowing users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as
page sizes or cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.
By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely disable
access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on weighted
probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for attribute-focused
workloads.
- The 8 patch series "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for
userfaultfd-backed mappings" from Stanislav Kinsburskii extends
hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by allowing the
mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new
hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.
By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock
release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd regions
while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers.
- The 33 patch series "mm: make VMA page offset handling more
consistent" from Lorenzo Stoakes cleans up and standardizes how
vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and manipulated across file-backed and
anonymous mappings in the kernel.
It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),
vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while renaming
rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their functionality.
These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will
unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios.
- The 3 patch series "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks"
from Usama Arif addresses kernel panics and state corruption caused by
MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries
created during HMM migrations.
It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly
recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a
standard migration entry.
- The 5 patch series "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" from Dev Jain
refactors try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree,
and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the
structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping.
- The 4 patch series "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and
additions" from Song Hu fixes typos and fills in missing entries in the
DAMON sysfs ABI document.
- The 10 patch series "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs"
from Gregory Price introduces an atomic sysfs state attribute and
supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when
offlining and removing entire memory regions.
By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it
enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward
compatibility.
- The 13 patch series "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t"
from Lorenzo Stoakes continues transitioning the kernel from the
deprecated vm_flags_t type to vma_flags_t across core memory management
infrastructure.
It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(),
unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like
mlock, mprotect, and mremap.
- The 2 patch series "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" from
xu xin refactors mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify
duplicate slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds
code documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must
remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions.
- The 10 patch series "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields"
from SJ Park cleans up DAMON core structures by consistently marking
internal-only fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper
direct access from outer layers.
It enforces encapsulation across core structures including
damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to
interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct
members.
- The 6 patch series "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL
de-ref and races" from SJ Park addresses potential infinite loops, NULL
dereferences, and race conditions identified in DAMON.
It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a
NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring
accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races.
- The 2 patch series "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on
RT/UP" from Brendan Jackman fixes an NMI safety flaw in
__free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT
kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks via non-PCP or isolated
migration paths.
It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation
risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory
hotplug or large allocation frees.
- The 4 patch series "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent
cleanups" from Brendan Jackman cleans up and updates page allocator
nomenclature, documentation, and debug assertions.
It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming
convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from
high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete VM_BUG_ON()
assertions in allocation paths.
- The 3 patch series "mm/mseal: further cleanups" from Lorenzo Stoakes
refactors and simplifies the mseal implementation by clarifying API
boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity.
It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a
dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, eliminates
mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only to
current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no
functional changes intended.
- The 4 patch series "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up
per-node proactive reclaim" from Ridong Chen resolves reclaim behavior
bugs and cleans up function parameters across memory reclaim paths.
It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so
unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page
cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of
collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask
parameter from __node_reclaim().
- The 6 patch series "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" from Kefeng Wang
cleans up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it removes
the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP pages as
non-resident.
- The 2 patch series "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants"
from Kiryl Shutsemau implements two trivial cleanups in the folio split
API.
- The 7 patch series "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit
exec expectation bugs" from SJ Park resolves minor operational and
testing bugs in DAMON identified by Sashiko. It initializes the
damos->last_applied field to prevent occasional efficiency degradation
and fixes invalid memory accesses in DAMON KUnit tests during test
failure handling.
- The 3 patch series "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" from Jinjiang Tu
cleans up and refactors stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags
without altering functionality.
It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag
bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*()
helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling.
- The 3 patch series "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" from Dev Jain
extends batched folio unmapping support to file folios within
userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching capabilities
to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().
This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in
try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control
flow and complexity.
- The 3 patch series "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up
early_ioremap_reset()" from Sang-Heon Jeon clarifies and cleans up the
architecture-specific usage of __late_set_fixmap() and
__late_clear_fixmap() after early_ioremap_reset().
It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()
must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset calls
in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures.
- The 4 patch series "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" from
Johannes Weiner addresses severe performance regressions, swap storms,
and spurious OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure
in Meta production.
It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation
requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at
pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather
than spinning unproductively.
- The 2 patch series "zram: lockmap tweaks" from Sebastian Siewior
optimizes and fixes lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating
per-entry lockmaps and isolating lock classes across multiple instances.
It reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map instances
with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic lock_class_key
to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports when different zram
devices are backed by distinct filesystems.

silent data corruption
- "mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error
handling" (SJ Park)
Refactor the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts
are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit()
fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side
cleanup code
- "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan)
Add checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when freeing compound
or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio
splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows
the removal of redundant private field clearing inside
prep_compound_tail()
- "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry
Song)
Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in
wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock
contention and system overhead
By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining
and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a
30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads
- "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu)

Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE,
performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap
pages on the way.
- "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park)
Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated
when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the
behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames
existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to
probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to
maintain measurement accuracy.
- "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin)
Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where
thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock
contention.
By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it
reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to
under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under
memory pressure.
- "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport)
Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse
into new headers

It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the
anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range,
reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency.
- "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali
Patil)
Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can
report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not
satisfied
- "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park)
Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing
users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or
cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.
By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely
disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on
weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for
attribute-focused workloads.
- "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings"
(Stanislav Kinsburskii)
Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by
allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new
hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.
By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock
release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd
regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers.
- "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and
manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel
It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),
vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while
renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their
functionality.
These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that
will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd
folios.
- "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif)
Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk
callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries
created during HMM migrations
It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock()
properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present
THP or a standard migration entry.
- "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain)
Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb,
anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated
functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous
large folio unmapping.
- "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu)
Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI
document
- "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price)
Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM
infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing
entire memory regions
By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it
enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward
compatibility.
- "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type
to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure.
It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(),
unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like
mlock, mprotect, and mremap.
- "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin)
Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate
slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code
documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must
remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions.
- "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park)
Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only
fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access
from outer layers.
It enforces encapsulation across core structures including
damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to
interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct
members.
- "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races"
(SJ Park)
Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race
conditions identified in DAMON
It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a
NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring
accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races.
- "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan
Jackman)
Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages
on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks
via non-PCP or isolated migration paths.
It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation
risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory
hotplug or large allocation frees.
- "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan
Jackman)
Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and
debug assertions.
It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming
convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from
high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete
VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths.
- "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API
boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity.
It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a
dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO,
eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only
to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no
functional changes intended.
- "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive
reclaim" (Ridong Chen)
Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across
memory reclaim paths
It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so
unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page
cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead
of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete
gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim().
- "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang)
Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it
removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP
pages as non-resident.
- "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau)
Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API
- "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation
bugs" (SJ Park)
Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by
Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent
occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses
in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling.
- "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu)
Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags
without altering functionality.
It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag
bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*()
helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling.
- "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain)
Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within
userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching
capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().
This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in
try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control
flow and complexity.
- "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()"
(Sang-Heon Jeon)
Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of
__late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after
early_ioremap_reset()
It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()
must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset
calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures.
- "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner)
Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious
OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta
production
It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation
requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at
pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather
than spinning unproductively.
- "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior)
Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating
per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances
This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map
instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic
lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports
when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems.

kcov: fix data corruption and race conditions on PREEMPT_RT
syzbot is reporting KCOV state corruption on PREEMPT_RT kernels, for the
temporary storage used for saving/restoring remote KCOV state is currently
allocated as the per-CPU area.
On PREEMPT_RT kernels, softirq handlers run as preemptible task threads
(e.g., ksoftirqd). If a softirq context preempts a task running a remote
KCOV session, it safely saves the task's state into the per-CPU area.
However, if that softirq thread is subsequently preempted by a higher-
priority softirq thread on the same CPU, the second softirq will overwrite
the same per-CPU area, permanently destroying the original task's KCOV
state.
Fix this data corruption by moving the temporary storage from the per-CPU
area to the per-thread area. Since each softirq thread now owns its own
task context, nested softirq preemption no longer causes data overwrites.
Note that while the temporary storage is now on a per-thread basis, the
per-CPU kcov_percpu_data.lock must be retained, for we need to ensure that
kcov_remote_start() and kcov_remote_stop() operate atomically without
racing against asynchronous interrupts that manipulate the current task's
KCOV state.
It is likely that GFP_KERNEL allocation by vmalloc_node() in kcov_init()
has already called panic() before returning NULL, for there will be no
OOM-killable userspace processes when __init function of built-in module
runs. But this patch also fixes crashing the kernel when vmalloc_node()
in kcov_init() returned NULL, for kcov_init() left per-CPU irq_area == NULL
but kcov_remote_start() depends on per-CPU irq_area != NULL, resulting in
(1) doing vmalloc() in kcov_remote_start() despite !in_task() context
(2) out-of-array-bounds access if (1) succeeded but
kcov->remote_size < CONFIG_KCOV_IRQ_AREA_SIZE
(3) always leak memory allocated by (1), eventually killing all
OOM-killable userspace processes
problems.

lib/random32: convert selftest to KUnit
Convert the existing prandom selftest (lib/random32.c) to use the KUnit framework (lib/tests/random32_kunit.c). Unlike typical KUnit tests, this file is directly #included into lib/random32.c. The new test: - Removes the legacy CONFIG_RANDOM32_SELFTEST from lib/random32.c. - Adds CONFIG_PRANDOM_KUNIT_TEST (defaulting to KUNIT_ALL_TESTS). - Moves the test logic to lib/tests/random32_kunit.c.

lib/math: add KUnit test suite for polynomial_calc()
Add a KUnit test suite for the polynomial_calc() function, which had no in-kernel test coverage. The tests verify correct evaluation of constant, linear, quadratic, and cubic polynomials, including negative coefficients, negative input data, zero-coefficient terms. The Kconfig entry uses 'select POLYNOMIAL' rather than 'depends on POLYNOMIAL' because POLYNOMIAL is a promptless tristate that cannot be manually enabled on UML without an explicit selector.

lib: test bitmap vs IDA vs Maple Tree performance for region allocations
Compare the cost of allocating and freeing variable-sized regions using a bitmap, IDA and a Maple Tree. All implementations process the same randomly generated sequence of regions containing up to 32 entries, until the configured capacity is exhausted. The benchmark exercises monotonic allocation into an initially empty pool, followed by reverse-order freeing. It does not model fragmentation or interleaved allocation and freeing, nor does it isolate locking or RCU overhead. Allocation time includes the terminal failed request that detects exhaustion. Run the benchmark at several capacities to show how the approaches scale. Report allocation and free times separately because bitmap, IDA and Maple Tree removal have substantially different costs. On x86/kvm, the output example is: Start testing bitmap vs IDA vs Maple Tree region allocation memory: bitmap is exact; IDA and Maple Tree are lower bounds Type alloc (ns) free (ns) regions capacity memory (B) Bitmap 93457345 176151 60644 1000000 125000 Maple 11758660 12870146 60644 1000000 1552656 IDA 31066416 20870824 60644 1000000 134864 Bitmap 919119 17679 6032 100000 12504 Maple 1158193 1187140 6032 100000 154640 IDA 2759670 2116004 6032 100000 14288 Bitmap 17120 2043 613 10000 1256 Maple 116350 117537 613 10000 15888 IDA 243396 202654 613 10000 1872 Bitmap 1220 262 55 1000 128 Maple 12076 10106 55 1000 1552 IDA 25730 20875 55 1000 144 Bitmap 593 124 18 100 16 Maple 3599 4782 18 100 528 IDA 3266 1960 18 100 144 Bitmap 414 129 10 10 8 Maple 2143 1385 10 10 272 IDA 892 648 10 10 16 Region allocation benchmark complete Reported IDA and Maple Tree memory figures exclude slab overhead and transient allocations. The Maple Tree figure is additionally a lower-bound estimate that assumes fully occupied leaf nodes and excludes internal nodes. IDA has no region-allocation API, so each region is implemented as a sequence of single-ID allocations. The IDs remain contiguous because this benchmark fills an initially empty IDA monotonically. The benchmark is motivated by the discussion linked below about choosing the best data structure for the channel ID pool with the capacity of 2048 IDs for the nova GPU driver. Specifically for 2048 IDs the result is: Bitmap 5112 615 121 2048 256 Maple 78526 59592 121 2048 3344 IDA 165274 117761 121 2048 848 The benchmark accepts a list of up to 64 nonzero capacities to test. For example: insmod region_alloc_benchmark.ko capacities=1024,2048,4096,65536 The list may contain duplicate capacities. Each occurrence generates a new region-size sequence, which is useful for collecting statistical characteristics of the benchmark results.

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.

workqueue: forbid TEST_WORKQUEUE from being built-in
The benchmark drives the workqueue's affinity_scope through sysfs by
filp_open()'ing /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/bench_wq/affinity_scope. When
CONFIG_TEST_WORKQUEUE=y, the module_init runs during kernel init before
userspace has mounted sysfs, so every open returns -ENOENT and the
benchmark loop spins emitting:
test_workqueue: open /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/bench_wq/affinity_scope failed: -2
Mirror the TEST_BPF pattern and add "depends on m" so Kconfig will not
let this be built into the kernel image, and document the reason in the
help text.

objtool: Grow __cfi_* prefix symbols for all CFI+CALL_PADDING
For all CONFIG_CFI+CONFIG_CALL_PADDING configs, for C functions, the __cfi_ symbols only cover the 5-byte kCFI type hash. After that there also N bytes of NOP padding between the hash and the function entry which aren't associated with any symbol. The NOPs can be replaced with actual code at runtime. Without a symbol, unwinders and tooling have no way of knowing where those bytes belong. Grow the existing __cfi_* symbols to fill that gap. Note that assembly functions with SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START() aren't affected by this issue, their __cfi_ symbols also cover the padding. Also, CONFIG_PREFIX_SYMBOLS has no reason to exist: CONFIG_CALL_PADDING is what causes the compiler to emit NOP padding before function entry (via -fpatchable-function-entry), so it's the right condition for creating prefix symbols. Remove CONFIG_PREFIX_SYMBOLS, as it's no longer needed. Simplify the LONGEST_SYM_KUNIT_TEST dependency accordingly. Rework objtool's arguments a bit to handle the variety of prefix/cfi-related cases.

Merge tag 'riscv-for-linus-7.1-mw1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/riscv/linux
Pull RISC-V updates from Paul Walmsley:
"There is one significant change outside arch/riscv in this pull
request: the addition of a set of KUnit tests for strlen(), strnlen(),
and strrchr().
Otherwise, the most notable changes are to add some RISC-V-specific
string function implementations, to remove XIP kernel support, to add
hardware error exception handling, and to optimize our runtime
unaligned access speed testing.
A few comments on the motivation for removing XIP support. It's been
broken in the RISC-V kernel for months. The code is not easy to
maintain. Furthermore, for XIP support to truly be useful for RISC-V,
we think that compile-time feature switches would need to be added for
many of the RISC-V ISA features and microarchitectural properties that
are currently implemented with runtime patching. No one has stepped
forward to take responsibility for that work, so many of us think it's
best to remove it until clear use cases and champions emerge.
Summary:
- Add Kunit correctness testing and microbenchmarks for strlen(),
strnlen(), and strrchr()
- Add RISC-V-specific strnlen(), strchr(), strrchr() implementations
- Add hardware error exception handling

Crypto library updates for 7.1
- Migrate more hash algorithms from the traditional crypto subsystem
to lib/crypto/.
Like the algorithms migrated earlier (e.g. SHA-*), this simplifies
the implementations, improves performance, enables further
simplifications in calling code, and solves various other issues:
- AES CBC-based MACs (AES-CMAC, AES-XCBC-MAC, and AES-CBC-MAC)
- Support these algorithms in lib/crypto/ using the AES
library and the existing arm64 assembly code
- Reimplement the traditional crypto API's "cmac(aes)",
"xcbc(aes)", and "cbcmac(aes)" on top of the library
- Convert mac80211 to use the AES-CMAC library. Note: several
other subsystems can use it too and will be converted later
- Drop the broken, nonstandard, and likely unused support for
"xcbc(aes)" with key lengths other than 128 bits
- Enable optimizations by default
- GHASH
- Migrate the standalone GHASH code into lib/crypto/
- Integrate the GHASH code more closely with the very similar
POLYVAL code, and improve the generic GHASH implementation
to resist cache-timing attacks and use much less memory
- Reimplement the AES-GCM library and the "gcm" crypto_aead
template on top of the GHASH library. Remove "ghash" from
the crypto_shash API, as it's no longer needed
- Enable optimizations by default
- SM3
- Migrate the kernel's existing SM3 code into lib/crypto/, and
reimplement the traditional crypto API's "sm3" on top of it
- I don't recommend using SM3, but this cleanup is worthwhile
to organize the code the same way as other algorithms
- Testing improvements
- Add a KUnit test suite for each of the new library APIs
- Migrate the existing ChaCha20Poly1305 test to KUnit
- Make the KUnit all_tests.config enable all crypto library tests
- Move the test kconfig options to the Runtime Testing menu
- Other updates to arch-optimized crypto code
- Optimize SHA-256 for Zhaoxin CPUs using the Padlock Hash Engine
- Remove some MD5 implementations that are no longer worth keeping
- Drop big endian and voluntary preemption support from the arm64
code, as those configurations are no longer supported on arm64
- Make jitterentropy and samples/tsm-mr use the crypto library APIs
Note: the overall diffstat is neutral, but when the test code is
excluded it is significantly negative:

lib/string_kunit: add performance benchmark for strlen()
Introduce a benchmarking framework to the string_kunit test suite to measure the execution efficiency of string functions. The implementation is inspired by crc_benchmark(), measuring throughput (MB/s) and latency (ns/call) across a range of string lengths. It includes a warm-up phase, disables preemption during measurement, and uses a fixed seed for reproducible results. This framework allows for comparing different implementations (e.g., generic C vs. architecture-optimized assembly) within the KUnit environment. Initially, provide a benchmark for strlen().

workqueue: add test_workqueue benchmark module
Add a kernel module that benchmarks queue_work() throughput on an unbound workqueue to measure pool->lock contention under different affinity scope configurations (cache vs cache_shard). The module spawns N kthreads (default: num_online_cpus()), each bound to a different CPU. All threads start simultaneously and queue work items, measuring the latency of each queue_work() call. Results are reported as p50/p90/p95 latencies for each affinity scope. The affinity scope is switched between runs via the workqueue's sysfs affinity_scope attribute (WQ_SYSFS), avoiding the need for any new exported symbols. The module runs as __init-only, returning -EAGAIN to auto-unload, and can be re-run via insmod. Example of the output: running 50 threads, 50000 items/thread cpu 6806017 items/sec p50=2574 p90=5068 p95=5818 ns smt 6821040 items/sec p50=2624 p90=5168 p95=5949 ns cache_shard 1633653 items/sec p50=5337 p90=9694 p95=11207 ns cache 286069 items/sec p50=72509 p90=82304 p95=85009 ns numa 319403 items/sec p50=63745 p90=73480 p95=76505 ns system 308461 items/sec p50=66561 p90=75714 p95=78048 ns Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> |

kbuild: rust: provide an option to inline C helpers into Rust
A new experimental Kconfig option, `RUST_INLINE_HELPERS` is added to
allow C helpers (which were created to allow Rust to call into
inline/macro C functions without having to re-implement the logic in
Rust) to be inlined into Rust crates without performing global LTO.
If the option is enabled, the following is performed:
* For helpers, instead of compiling them to an object file to be linked
into vmlinux, they're compiled to LLVM IR bitcode. Two versions are
generated: one for built-in code (`helpers.bc`) and one for modules
(`helpers_module.bc`, with -DMODULE defined). This ensures that C
macros/inlines that behave differently for modules (e.g. static calls)
function correctly when inlined.
* When a Rust crate or object is compiled, instead of generating an
object file, LLVM bitcode is generated.
* llvm-link is invoked with --internalize to combine the helper bitcode
with the crate bitcode. This step is similar to LTO, but this is much
faster since it only needs to inline the helpers.
* clang is invoked to turn the combined bitcode into a final object file.
* Since clang may produce LLVM bitcode when LTO is enabled, and objtool
requires ELF input, $(cmd_ld_single) is invoked to ensure the object
is converted to ELF before objtool runs.
The --internalize flag tells llvm-link to treat all symbols in
helpers.bc using `internal` linkage [1]. This matches the behavior of
`clang` on `static inline` functions, and avoids exporting the symbol
from the object file.
To ensure that RUST_INLINE_HELPERS is not incompatible with BTF, we pass
the -g0 flag when building helpers. See commit

lib: Move crypto library tests to Runtime Testing menu
Currently the kconfig options for the crypto library KUnit tests appear
in the menu:
-> Library routines
-> Crypto library routines
However, this is the only content of "Crypto library routines". I.e.,
it is empty when CONFIG_KUNIT=n. This is because the crypto library
routines themselves don't have (or need to have) prompts.
Since this usually ends up as an unnecessary empty menu, let's remove
this menu and instead source the lib/crypto/tests/Kconfig file from
lib/Kconfig.debug inside the "Runtime Testing" menu:
-> Kernel hacking
-> Kernel Testing and Coverage
-> Runtime Testing
This puts the prompts alongside the ones for most of the other lib/
KUnit tests. This seems to be a much better match to how the kconfig
menus are organized.

lockdep: Raise default stack trace limits when KASAN is enabled
KASAN-enabled kernels with LOCKDEP and PREEMPT_FULL hit
"BUG: MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES too low!" within 9-23 hours of normal
desktop use.
The root cause is a feedback loop between KASAN slab tracking and
lockdep: every KASAN-tracked slab allocation saves a stack trace via
stack_trace_save() -> arch_stack_walk(). The unwinder calls
is_bpf_text_address(), which under PREEMPT_FULL can trigger RCU
deferred quiescent-state processing -> swake_up_one() -> lock_acquire()
-> lockdep validate_chain() -> save_trace(). This means KASAN's own
stack captures indirectly generate new lockdep dependency chains,
consuming the buffer from both directions.
/proc/lockdep_stats at the moment of overflow confirms that
stack-trace entries is the sole exhausted resource:
stack-trace entries: 524288 [max: 524288] <- 100% full
number of stack traces: 22080 <- unique after dedup
dependency chains: 164665 [max: 524288] <- only 31% used
direct dependencies: 45270 [max: 65536] <- 69%
lock-classes: 2811 [max: 8192] <- 34%
22080 genuinely unique traces averaging ~24 frames each fill the
buffer in under a day. The hash-based deduplication (

A single fix for debugobjects.
The deferred page initialization prevents debug objects from allocating slab pages until the initialization is complete. That causes depletion of the pool and disabling of debugobjects. The reason is that debugobjects uses __GFP_HIGH for allocations as it might be invoked from arbitrary contexts. When PREEMPT_COUNT is disabled there is no way to know whether the context is safe to set __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. This worked until v6.18. Since then allocations w/o a reclaim flag cause new_slab() to end up in alloc_frozen_pages_nolock_noprof(), which returns early when deferred page initialization has not yet completed.

lib/Kconfig.debug: Require a release version of LLVM 22 for context analysis
Using a prerelease version as a minimum supported version for
CONFIG_WARN_CONTEXT_ANALYSIS was reasonable to do while LLVM 22 was the
development version so that people could immediately build from main and
start testing and validating this in their own code. However, it can be
problematic when using prerelease versions of LLVM 22, such as Android
clang 22.0.1 (the current android mainline compiler) or when bisecting
LLVM between llvmorg-22-init and llvmorg-23-init, to build the kernel,
as all compiler fixes for the context analysis may not be present,
potentially resulting in warnings that can easily turn into errors.
Now that LLVM 22 is released as 22.1.0, upgrade the check to require at
least this version to ensure that a user's toolchain actually has all
the changes needed for a smooth experience with context analysis.

Remove WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM kernel config option
This config option goes way back - it used to be an internal debug
option to random.c (at that point called DEBUG_RANDOM_BOOT), then was
renamed and exposed as a config option as CONFIG_WARN_UNSEEDED_RANDOM,
and then further renamed to the current CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM.
It was all done with the best of intentions: the more limited
rate-limited reports were reporting some cases, but if you wanted to see
all the gory details, you'd enable this "ALL" option.
However, it turns out - perhaps not surprisingly - that when people
don't care about and fix the first rate-limited cases, they most
certainly don't care about any others either, and so warning about all
of them isn't actually helping anything.
And the non-ratelimited reporting causes problems, where well-meaning
people enable debug options, but the excessive flood of messages that
nobody cares about will hide actual real information when things go
wrong.
I just got a kernel bug report (which had nothing to do with randomness)
where two thirds of the the truncated dmesg was just variations of
random: get_random_u32 called from __get_random_u32_below+0x10/0x70 with crng_init=0
and in the process early boot messages had been lost (in addition to
making the messages that _hadn't_ been lost harder to read).
The proper way to find these things for the hypothetical developer that
cares - if such a person exists - is almost certainly with boot time
tracing. That gives you the option to get call graphs etc too, which is
likely a requirement for fixing any problems anyway.
See Documentation/trace/boottime-trace.rst for that option.
And if we for some reason do want to re-introduce actual printing of
these things, it will need to have some uniqueness filtering rather than
this "just print it all" model.

Networking changes for 7.0
Core & protocols
----------------
- A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to
make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls for
small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path. This
generates better and faster code with very small or no text size
increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than the
actual inlined helper.
- Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,
also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace
basis.
- Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.
Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of
buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage by
up to ~30%.
- Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the RX
path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because
user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without the
HBH hint.
- Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is
resolved out of a different interface than the one specified, aligning
IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.
- Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the rate
shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing a
single global rate on the interface.
- Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to
netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations that
are safer in crash scenarios.
- Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information, saving
cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.
- Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most protocols,
avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.
- Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.
- Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.
- Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies between
the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.
- Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks
across different network namespaces.
- Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented
optimizations.
- Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole
to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes back
online.
Driver API
----------
- Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a DPLL
device via netlink.
- Introduce PHY ports representation to expose multiple front-facing
media ports over a single MAC.
