perf tools changes for v7.4
- Support instruction tracking on arm64 for data type profiling, resolving stack, global, per-CPU and 'current' variable accesses, so that 'perf annotate --data-type' resolves types on arm64 the way it does on x86. - Port the Python scripts to the perf module and standalone execution, and improve the module: lazy sample callchains and event copies, GIL handling, better session/thread lookup, new treport, flamegraph and sqlite/postgres exporters. - Reenable and fix the attribute expectation test suite: per-PMU bit masks, other core PMUs' events, dummy tracking events, group checks and spelled out skip reasons. - perf trace: filter the target's tasks in BPF, open the BPF output event on every CPU, add an option to disable syscall augmentation and raise TRACE_AUG_MAX_BUF. - perf jitdump: harden record parsing, validating unwinding sizes and symbol names, byte-swapping debug entries via safe accessors and fixing frees on error paths. - perf annotate-data fixes: bound the member nesting recursion, resolve type DIEs in the debug file they came from, adjust the offset for flex-arrays and show the sample count in the data-type browser. - perf symbol and debug info: try linked debug files for DSOs, avoid repeated failing searches, set binary/symtab types for split kallsyms, JIT maps and the build-id cache, fix libbfd symbol loading. - perf config: serialize config file access with a mutex, add the DEFINE_MUTEX() and DO_ONCE() primitives and a robust process shared mutex, add the core.hybrid-merge option. - perf report: add --progress and --no-progress options. - perf mem: add a false sharing workload to 'perf test', request PERF_SAMPLE_CPU by default, use the IBS swfilt filter when available and decode L0 in the memory level. - perf test: take turns using the perf mlock budget in the mmaping tests, add the 'needs_mlock' suite flag, scope the probe based tests to their PID and make more tests non-exclusive. - perf vendor events intel: update events and metrics to TMA 5.2, refresh the event tables and fix umask encodings. - perf build: run shellcheck, mypy and pylint in parallel, make pylint opt-out with NO_PYLINT=1, fix clean and install dependencies. - Add a script and a 'make sync-headers' target to sync the tools/ copies of kernel headers with the kernel sources, plus the resulting syncs of the cpufeatures, KVM, fs, mount, fcntl, socket, rtnetlink, if_addr and sound headers. - Fix cs-etm HW_ID mapping synthesis for raw trace, queue teardown leaks and duplicate v0 global mappings. - Add a 'perf bench atomic' benchmark for atomic operations. - Filter events before creating lock_stat in 'perf lock contention'. - Add a 'perf test' case for events re-armed with PERF_EVENT_IOC_REFRESH. - Fix memory leaks on 'perf c2c' output fields and add function view stdio coverage to its test. - Fix a NULL dereference resolving callchains in 'perf machine'. - Optimize the libdw fallback when DWARF is missing and try the symbol file first when checking for debuginfo. - Don't call eprintf() in pr_debugN() when not verbose. - Don't delete cumulative caller entries before the stat_acc decays in 'perf report'. - Fix ring buffer cursor handling: keep the consumed cursor in forward mode and use the head selected by read_init. - Fix 'perf test mmap-basic' user rdpmc detection and only test userspace reading on supported platforms. - Build fixes: include sys/types.h for ssize_t, errno.h before kernel headers and fix jevents.py type annotations for mypy 2.x.

Pull bpf fixes from Alexei Starovoitov:
- Remove BPF_F_ARENA_SCALAR flag and .arena.data section in libbpf that
were added for rust-bpf in this merge window. We found a cleaner
approach that does it on compiler side instead of kernel/libbpf. No
released kernel has them (Alexei Starovoitov)
- Fix bpf_send_signal_task() returning -EPERM when it is called from a
kernel thread (Aditya Sharma)
- Various fixes (Alexei Starovoitov):
- Use emit_rsb_call() to call bpf_unwind_target() in x86 JIT to fix
objtool warning during the build
- Fix scalar evolution: clear delta of a widened register, don't
widen a pointer to a buffer, don't clamp a register whose type
changed in the loop, and reset the range of a clamped packet
pointer
- Finish the insn in the state that maybe_fork_scalars() splits
off, so that pruning doesn't drop it at the head of a counted
loop
- Preserve the registers that carry stack arguments across
arch_bpf_timed_may_goto() on x86-64, arm64 and riscv64
- Don't re-sort subprog_info[] for every new subprogram
- Fix flaky map_kptr and rcu_reentry selftests
- Use memmove() in bpf_skb_load_bytes(), bpf_skb_load_bytes_relative()
and bpf_xdp_load_bytes(), since the destination can be a slice of the
same packet (Ayushman Rout)
- Fixes and follow-ups for scalar evolution: reject pointer operands in
32-bit recurrences and latches, don't intersect with the current
register range on clamp to avoid a false 'verifier bug', avoid false
infinite loop reports, and recognize a 32-bit copy of the induction
variable (Eduard Zingerman)
- Fix out-of-bounds write to btf->types[] for split BTF and propagate
btf_add_type() errors in btf_check_all_metas() (Feng Yang)
- Fix use-after-free in bpf_timer callback that fires after its inner
map was freed (Mani Tofigh)
- Fix x86 JIT stopping before jumps converge: size backward jumps by
the insns they jump over (Mykyta Yatsenko)
- Fix use-after-free of struct_ops trampoline: dissociate struct_ops
progs before the grace period of the map (Qiliang Yuan)
- Validate stack argument reads against the caller state to fix
out-of-bounds read in the verifier, and reject callbacks with stack
arguments (Weiming Shi)
- Tie borrowed iterator results and pointers loaded from trusted fields
to the lifetime of their source, so that iterator next, destroy and
reference release invalidate them (Xu Yunxiang)

bpf: Remove BPF_F_ARENA_SCALAR
Rust has no address spaces. Thus a prog in Rust accesses arena through
scalars. With BPF_F_ARENA_SCALAR the verifier accepts each load and each
store through a scalar as an access to arena.
The verifier rewrites one insn at a time. Thus it must add one insn to each
access. The compiler knows the source of each pointer. It can emit one
addr_space_cast for each pointer, as it does for the __arena pointers of C.
flag: one move for each access cast: one cast for each pointer
ax = (u32)r1 r1 = addr_space_cast(r1, 0, 1)
r2 = *(u64 *)(ax + 0) r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 0)
ax = (u32)r1 r3 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 8)
r3 = *(u64 *)(ax + 8)
20 progs of rust-bpf, with the flag and with the casts that a prototype of
an LLVM pass emits:
flag casts
moves or casts 1568 571
insns 14864 13938
jited bytes 72351 69111
No released kernel has the flag. LLVM does not emit the casts for Rust at
this time. Until it does, Rust progs that access arena do not load.
scx_mavd and scx_nitosis set the flag too. They are experimental schedulers
in C in sched-ext/scx, and they use the flag to omit __arena. They must use
__arena again.

memblock: updates for 7.4-rc1
Performance improvement:
* Use binary search in memblock_add_range() and memblock_isolate_range()
Cleanups:
* Several simplifications in memblock and mm_init that remvove redundand
code.
* After rework of sparsemem buffer preallocation, memmap_alloc() does not
require exact_nid parameter. Remove that parameter, drop now unused
memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw() and ajust memblock tests accordingly.
memblock test updates:
* add coverage for lowmem allocations
* fix 32-bit build warinings

VFIO updates for v7.4-rc1
- Fix missing selftest <libgen.h> include for basename() to support
non-glibc builds. (Hisam Mehboob)
- Add vfio selftest documentation covering the libvfio helper library
and guidance for developers to aid in adding and understanding the
framework. (David Matlack)
- Fix vfio cdev open path to prevent a second open from clobbering
the vf_token or clearing the KVM reference. Add a selftest to
avoid future recurrences. (Alex Williamson)
- Extend vfio selftest mix_and_match timeouts, in particular to
account for systems where generated faults can induce heavy SMM
load, delaying internal timeouts. Also extend timeout for
execution via runner to account for various tests exceeding default
45s timeout. (Alex Williamson)
- Add tracking for non-reserved mappings into a vfio_dma object in
order to optimize the tear-down paths where per-page tests can be
entirely skipped. This resolves a soft lockup for large memory
GPUs. (Samuel Crossley)
- Add vfio selftest driver for mlx5, providing another target for
exercising DMA and interrupts against a physical device.
(Jason Gunthorpe)
- Hardening against read-only region promotion, preserving vm_pgoff
for unmap_mapping_range(), and reject non-shared MMIO mmaps as
necessary through vfio-platform, vfio-fsl-mc, and vfio-cdx. These
prevent future issues, though none are currently reachable.
(Abdifatah Suruur)
- Fix 8-byte ioeventfd support, removing a static error test that was
erroneously left in place when generalizing 8-byte io accesses.
(Li RongQing)
- Fix missed RCU drain on module exit. (Jiale Yao)
- Fix off-by-one boundary check in migration support within the mlx5
vfio-pci variant driver. (Seongjun Hong)
- Remove drvdata usage convention across vfio-pci-core, allowing
variant drivers to freely create their own conventions and enabling
a future Rust-based variant driver. A DRM topic branch is also
merged in support of this effort, modifying the vga arbiter API
to more cleanly remove the drvdata dependency. (Simon Song)
- Fix hisi_acc vfio-pci variant driver to avoid NULL pointer accesses
when bound to unsupported devices and also disabling migration
support when running on 64K host page size due to BAR mapping
constraints. (Longfang Liu)
- Add device IDs for Crescent Island and Nova Lake devices to the Xe
vfio-pci variant driver. (Satyanarayana K V P)
- Fix fallback mode in nvgrace-gpu variant driver to use symmetric
open and close handlers to avoid reported use-after-free issue.
Remove the resulting unnecessary test in the now single-purpose
open function. (Andrea Parri)

Merge tag 'bpf-next-7.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next
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"

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):
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):
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):
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):
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.

Core & protocols
----------------
- Continue the work on removing rtnl_lock dependencies:
- per-netns ARP and ND neighbour tables, with the default settings
now configurable per netns (inheritance from init_net is
controlled by the new net.core.neigh_inherit_init_net sysctl)
- RCU-protected configuration and rtnl_lock-less fill_info() for
hsr, netkit, sit, vlan and vxlan devices
- per-netns device unregistration for ip tunnel and gre devices
- use the netdev instance lock instead of rtnl_lock when reading
speed and duplex via sysfs
- batch the flushing of uncached routes at device unregistration
time, relieving rtnl_lock contention on netns dismantle.
- Add hardware pacing offload support, admin-controlled via a new
rtnetlink attribute, with sch_fq integration (implemented in idpf).
- Re-segment BIG TCP GSO packets into GSO packets fitting the
egress device limits instead of plain MSS-sized segments,
improving throughput for mixed BIG TCP / non-BIG TCP paths
by up to 70%.
- Generate RSS keys that spread flows over all the RX queues; the
previous random keys could leave some queues unused.
- Optimize the bridge VLAN forwarding paths: cache the port-VLAN in fdb
entries and consider only VLAN members when flooding, for ~10% more
Mpps in the fdb forwarding path.
- A few TCP/IP performance improvements aimed at efficient cache
usage and reducing contention.
- Add the TCP ROCCET congestion control, a CUBIC variant aimed at
avoiding bufferbloat in cellular networks.
- Continue the conversion of getsockopt callbacks to sockopt_t.
- Add an ethtool command to list the front-facing ports of an
interface, including SFP cages and modules, using the phy_port
representation.
- Enable BIG TCP support for bareudp tunnels.
- Remove the IPV6_ADDRFORM socket option and disallow buggy TCP state
transitions (listen() + shutdown() + connect() and connect() +
connect(AF_UNSPEC) + listen()).
- Remove most BUG_ON()s from core packet processing, replacing them
with error paths.
Wireless
--------
- Latency improvements, including lockless station get/dump and beacon
updates, plus RTNL reduction and locking cleanups.
- Infrastructure for non-station TX/RX with MLO.
- NAN (Wi-Fi Aware) Instant Communication support and other NAN
improvements.
- Control frame Integrity Protocol (CIP) and protected TWT support.
- Improvements for AP regulatory checks.
Netfilter
---------
- Disable br_netfilter in user namespaces and schedule it for removal
in 2027.
- Restrict the raw table in nft_compat to the specific family, hook and
priority.
- Prepare the flowtable for mixed IPv4-over-IPv6 tunneling (and
vice versa).
- Use GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT for most netfilter allocations, for better
integration with memcg.
- Allow discovering conntrack zone filtering support in ctnetlink
dumps, and fix nfnetlink_hook handling of large dumps.
Deletions
---------
- Move the LLC type 2 sockets out of tree. There are no known users and
the code attracts a never-ending stream of LLM-driven fixes.

Merge tag 'net-next-7.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"This includes a significant number of low-priority fixes - especially
in the NIC drivers area - that we deferred from the last few RCs in
the previous cycle, which can't be easily outlined in the synopsis
below.
Core & protocols:
- Continue the work on removing rtnl_lock dependencies:
- per-netns ARP and ND neighbour tables, with the default settings
now configurable per netns (inheritance from init_net is
controlled by the new net.core.neigh_inherit_init_net sysctl)
- RCU-protected configuration and rtnl_lock-less fill_info() for
hsr, netkit, sit, vlan and vxlan devices
- per-netns device unregistration for ip tunnel and gre devices
- use the netdev instance lock instead of rtnl_lock when reading
speed and duplex via sysfs
- batch the flushing of uncached routes at device unregistration
time, relieving rtnl_lock contention on netns dismantle.
- Add hardware pacing offload support, admin-controlled via a new
rtnetlink attribute, with sch_fq integration (implemented in idpf).
- Re-segment BIG TCP GSO packets into GSO packets fitting the egress
device limits instead of plain MSS-sized segments, improving
throughput for mixed BIG TCP / non-BIG TCP paths by up to 70%.
- Generate RSS keys that spread flows over all the RX queues; the
previous random keys could leave some queues unused.
- Optimize the bridge VLAN forwarding paths: cache the port-VLAN in
fdb entries and consider only VLAN members when flooding, for ~10%
more Mpps in the fdb forwarding path.
- A few TCP/IP performance improvements aimed at efficient cache
usage and reducing contention.
- Add the TCP ROCCET congestion control, a CUBIC variant aimed at
avoiding bufferbloat in cellular networks.
- Continue the conversion of getsockopt callbacks to sockopt_t.
- Add an ethtool command to list the front-facing ports of an
interface, including SFP cages and modules, using the phy_port
representation.
- Enable BIG TCP support for bareudp tunnels.
- Remove the IPV6_ADDRFORM socket option and disallow buggy TCP state
transitions (listen() + shutdown() + connect() and connect() +
connect(AF_UNSPEC) + listen()).
- Remove most BUG_ON()s from core packet processing, replacing them
with error paths.
Wireless:
- Latency improvements, including lockless station get/dump and
beacon updates, plus RTNL reduction and locking cleanups.
- Infrastructure for non-station TX/RX with MLO.
- NAN (Wi-Fi Aware) Instant Communication support and other NAN
improvements.
- Control frame Integrity Protocol (CIP) and protected TWT support.
- Improvements for AP regulatory checks.
Netfilter:
- Disable br_netfilter in user namespaces and schedule it for removal
in 2027.
- Restrict the raw table in nft_compat to the specific family, hook
and priority.
- Prepare the flowtable for mixed IPv4-over-IPv6 tunneling (and vice
versa).
- Use GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT for most netfilter allocations, for better
integration with memcg.
- Allow discovering conntrack zone filtering support in ctnetlink
dumps, and fix nfnetlink_hook handling of large dumps.
Deletions:
- Move the LLC type 2 sockets out of tree. There are no known users
and the code attracts a never-ending stream of LLM-driven fixes.

bpf: Add unwind_goto and unwind_exit insns
Rust Drop, C++ destructors and __attribute__((cleanup)) in C have to run
when a panic or an exception passes through a frame.
v1 [1] did it with a flag in r3 and 'if r3 != 0 goto pad' after the call.
Three bugs that the bots found there had the same cause: r3 is an ordinary
register, and JITs guessed the meaning from the shape of the code.
Kumar suggested new insns instead [2]:
unwind_goto pad BPF_JMP | BPF_JCOND, src_reg = BPF_UNWIND_GOTO
unwind_exit BPF_JMP | BPF_EXIT, src_reg = BPF_UNWIND_EXIT
'call foo; unwind_goto pad' goes to the pad when foo left with unwind_exit
and falls through when it left with exit. No register says which one it
was. In everything else unwind_exit is exit.
llvm lowers unwinding to them [3]:
ret exit
invoke foo unwind pad call foo; unwind_goto pad
resume r0 = 0; unwind_exit
call _Unwind_RaiseException r0 = 0; unwind_exit
invoke _Unwind_RaiseException goto pad
In a function that returns 16 bytes it's 'r0 = 0; r2 = 0; unwind_exit'.
Landing pads are ordinary blocks, so the verifier checks them like any
other code. A pad that forgets to drop a lock or a reference is a leak on
that path. There are no tables, no stack walk, no kfuncs, no BTF and
nothing to do for libbpf and other loaders.
In the verifier:
- unwind_goto has to follow a call or callx of a subprog and cannot be
a jump target. For cfg, liveness and the rest it's one more conditional
jump, like may_goto.
- How the callee left is one bit of the verifier state. It lives from
the exit of the callee to the next insn. states_equal() looks at it,
since the registers can be the same either way.
- unwind_exit is rejected when unwind_goto doesn't follow the call.
- A global subprog that has unwind_exit can leave either way. Both are
explored after the call, like it's done for might_throw.
- A sync callback cannot unwind. The helper that calls it doesn't expect
that: bpf_loop() would go on.
- unwind_exit of the main prog is exit, unless it's an extension. So it is
in async and exception callbacks. The kernel calls them, and there is no
frame to unwind to.
- An extension leaves either way, like the subprog that it replaced.
freplace is a jump, so the extension returns to the caller of
the subprog. An extension that has unwind_exit can replace only a subprog
that has it too. Otherwise there is no unwind_goto after the calls.
- Of tracing progs only fentry can attach to a subprog or an extension
that has unwind_exit. It would return to the trampoline that called it.
- unwind_exit changes its return address, so the cpu mispredicts
the return and runs what follows unwind_goto speculatively. Without
CAP_PERFMON the verifier looks at that path too.
- unwind_goto goes away together with a pad that turned out to be dead
code. It stays when what follows it is dead code. The cpu predicts that
the callee returns there, so 'goto pc-1' takes the place of the dead
code. Otherwise its removal would move other code there.
JITs don't emit a branch:
unwind_goto:
extable[n++] = { ret_addr - 1 -> pad }
unwind_exit:
my_ret_addr = bpf_unwind_target(my_ret_addr)
epilogue
So exit and the normal path after the call cost nothing. Every frame fixes
only its own return address. There is no stack walk. The lookup is what
the page fault handler does for bpf progs.
The interpreter cannot do that, so the prog has to be JITed, and JITs opt
in with bpf_jit_supports_unwind(). x86-64 and arm64 are in the next
patches.
BPF_JCOND is the same opcode as BPF_CALL_ARGS of the interpreter, and
BPF_UNWIND_GOTO is the same number as BPF_PSEUDO_CALL. may_goto is gone by
the time a prog is dumped, unwind_goto is not. bpf_insn_prepare_dump()
tells them apart: a prog with unwind_goto is always JITed.
Compared to v1 there is no BTF decl_tag and no 'r3 = 0' before every exit.
Tail call and ld_abs are fine in a subprog that can unwind, since they
leave it like exit does.
unwind_exit doesn't set r0. An implicit definition of r0 would need
special cases in backtracking, in liveness and in the check of the return
value of the main prog. A plain 'r0 = 0' in front of it needs none.
Rust
rust-bpf [4] builds with that llvm as it is. The programs are built with
-C panic=unwind. The panic handler prints the message and calls
_Unwind_RaiseException().
exc_cleanup.rs panics three frames deep, with preemption disabled in one
frame and rcu_read_lock held in another. All Drop impls run and the prog
returns 0.
scx_simple.rs is 2195 insns with 48 unwind_goto, 20 of them after callx,
and 16 unwind_exit. With r3 it was 2216 insns. scx_cosmos.rs is 3694 insns
with 68 and 18. It was 3716.
C++
Exceptions work too. This compiles, loads and runs:
struct rcu_guard {
rcu_guard() { bpf_rcu_read_lock(); }
~rcu_guard() { bpf_rcu_read_unlock(); }
};
static __noinline int inner(int len)
{
rcu_guard guard;
if (len > 100)
throw 1;
return len;
}
SEC("tc") int prog(struct __sk_buff *skb)
{
try {
return inner(skb->len);
} catch (...) {
return 42;
}
}
It returns 64 for a packet of 64 bytes and 42 for a packet of 200 bytes.
The destructor runs in both cases, otherwise the verifier would reject
the prog. 'throw' is a jump to the pad with the destructor. 'catch' is
unwind_goto:
inner:
w6 = w1
call bpf_rcu_read_lock
if w6 s< 101 goto ret
r1 = exc_obj ll
*(u32 *)(r1 + 0) = 1
goto pad
ret:
call bpf_rcu_read_unlock
w0 = w6
exit
pad:
call bpf_rcu_read_unlock
r0 = 0
unwind_exit
prog:
w6 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 0)
w1 = w6
call inner
unwind_goto catch
out:
w0 = w6
exit
catch:
w6 = 42
goto out
It needs -fexceptions -funwind-tables and four one line __cxa_*()
functions, where __cxa_throw() calls _Unwind_RaiseException().
Every pad is entered whatever was thrown, so llvm takes catch (...) only.
It's a selftest in patch 5.

bpf: tcp: Introduce bpf_tcp_ops.{enqueue,dequeue}_rcvq().
Waking up a thread per packet is expensive when an application
processes variable-length frames (e.g., RPC) that span multiple
packets.
SO_RCVLOWAT can defer wakeups, but because the frame size is
encoded in a fixed-size descriptor at the start of each frame,
the application has to:
1. wake up and recv() the descriptor,
2. raise SO_RCVLOWAT to the payload size via setsockopt(),
3. wake up and recv() the payload, and
4. reset SO_RCVLOWAT back to the descriptor size via
setsockopt() for the next frame.
This requires an extra wakeup and two setsockopt() syscalls
for every single RPC frame.
With SOCKMAP, we can parse skb and suppress wakeups in kernel,
but SOCKMAP adds overhead and also kills zerocopy.
Let's add lighter-weight opt-in callbacks to bpf_tcp_ops to
replace that.
.enqueue_rcvq(): invoked when TCP stack enqueues skb to
sk->sk_receive_queue
.dequeue_rcvq(): invoked in tcp_cleanup_rbuf() after data
is dequeued from sk->sk_receive_queue
Those callbacks can be enabled on a per-socket basis by
bpf_tcp_ops_set_flags():
bpf_tcp_ops_set_flags((struct tcp_sock *)sk,
BPF_TCP_OPS_FLAG_RCVQ, 0);
Later, we will add a new kfunc to adjust sk->sk_rcvlowat from
these callbacks.
This will allow the bpf_tcp_ops prog to parse each skb and
dynamically adjust sk->sk_rcvlowat to suppress unnecessary EPOLLIN
wakeups until sufficient data is available in the receive queue.
The placement of bpf_tcp_ops_call() in tcp_ofo_queue() and
tcp_fastopen_add_skb() is chosen to provide the same snapshot
as tcp_queue_rcv().
For example, if bpf_tcp_ops_call() were called before updating
TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq in tcp_fastopen_add_skb(), BPF prog would
need an extra branch for the unlikely TFO case to strip SYN.
In addition, the TCP stack can queue overlapping skbs into recvq.
Once rcv_nxt is updated with a new skb, BPF prog can no longer
infer the previous rcv_nxt from skb->len.
Lastly, dequeue_rcvq() is placed in tcp_cleanup_rbuf() rather
than __tcp_cleanup_rbuf() so that it is not called for sockets
in SOCKMAP, where calling sk->sk_data_ready() from the new
kfunc would otherwise trigger infinite recursion.

bpf: tcp: Add a new per-socket flag and kfunc for bpf_tcp_ops.
The legacy SOCK_OPS guards some hooks with a per-socket flag, tp->bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags. In contrast, bpf_tcp_ops was initially designed without per-socket flags so that users can simply define only the callbacks they need. However, it turned out that even attaching a bpf_tcp_ops with a NULL callback incurs measurable overhead in the fast path. [0] We could reuse tp->bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags, but it is u8 and has only 1 bit left for a new opt-in callback, while not all of the 7 existing opt-in hooks are in the fast path and really need a flag guard. Moreover, tp->bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags has two bpf helper functions to update it, both of which require sock_owned_by_me(sk): * bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags_set() * bpf_setsockopt(TCP_BPF_SOCK_OPS_CB_FLAGS) Both helpers only overwrite the field, which leads to reading and modifying the flags in the BPF prog and then writing them back via the helper. This prevents use from the fast path (tc or cgroup_skb) hooks where bh_lock_sock() alone cannot prevent races with process context. Let's add a new u32 field, tp->bpf_tcp_ops_flags, at the end of the tcp_sock_read_txrx cacheline group, along with a new kfunc, bpf_tcp_ops_set_flags(). bpf_tcp_ops_set_flags() takes bitmasks of flags to enable and disable and updates tp->bpf_tcp_ops_flags atomically via try_cmpxchg() without relying on lock_sock(). The kfunc is exposed to bpf_tcp_ops, BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCKOPT, and BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB. The first argument is struct tcp_sock * so that bpf_tcp_sock() etc is required for cgroup hooks, but not for bpf_tcp_ops where struct sock * is promoted to struct tcp_sock * automatically. The fast-path callbacks will be guarded by the new flags in a later patch after updating the existing selftest to avoid breaking bisection.

compiler.h: add ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE()
Patch series "Catch automatic storage in IDA and Maple Tree definitions".
A 0day report [1] from the region allocation benchmark exposed a lockdep
initialization bug: a stack-local Maple Tree used MTREE_INIT(), whose
embedded lock has a static initializer. On the first allocation, lockdep
rejected the lock address as a non-static class key and disabled locking
validation. The IDA benchmark had the same issue, masked because it ran
after Maple Tree had already disabled lockdep.
The fix [2] switches the test to using mt_init_flags() and ida_init().
This series adds a compile-time check to the related DEFINE_IDA() and
DEFINE_MTREE() declaration macros to catch the same class of mistake
earlier.
Patch 1 introduces ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE(). It declares an unused static
pointer initialized with the object's address, requiring that address to
be a valid static initializer. Patches 2 and 3 apply the helper to IDA
and Maple Tree definitions, respectively.
The helper is mirrored in the tools compiler header. The existing
automatic local IDAs and Maple Trees in the userspace radix-tree tests are
converted to runtime initialization. The interval-tree span test keeps
its existing mt_init_flags() call and uses a plain Maple Tree declaration.
For example, an automatic local definition:
void example(void)
{
DEFINE_IDA(ida);
ida_destroy(&ida);
}
now produces:
error: initializer element is not constant
note: in expansion of macro 'ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE'
note: in expansion of macro 'DEFINE_IDA'
File-scope definitions and static local definitions remain valid.
Automatic local objects should use ida_init(), mt_init(), or
mt_init_flags().
The check is limited to declaration macros. Direct uses of IDA_INIT(),
MTREE_INIT(), and MTREE_INIT_EXT() remain unchanged. The helper cannot be
inserted directly into those initializer expressions because it expands to
a declaration.
Validated by GCC and Clang checks accepting static storage and rejecting
automatic storage The userspace IDR/IDA and Maple Tree test are passed as
well.
This patch (of 3):
Static lock initializers rely on a persistent object address when lockdep
assigns a lock-class key. Using such an initializer for an automatic
local object can compile successfully but disable lockdep on the first
lock acquisition.
Add ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE() for declaration macros that require static
storage duration. It declares an unused static pointer initialized with
the object's address. An automatic local object's address is not a valid
static initializer, so the compiler rejects it.
Mirror the helper in tools/include/linux/compiler.h because the userspace
radix-tree tests include the kernel IDA and Maple Tree headers with the
tools compiler definitions.
For example:
void example(void)
{
int object;
ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE(object);
}
GCC reports:
error: initializer element is not constant
name##_storage_check = &(name)
^
note: in expansion of macro 'ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE'
ASSERT_STATIC_STORAGE(object);
File-scope objects and static local objects remain valid. The helper
takes an object identifier and must be used as a declaration after that
object has been declared.

seccomp: allow restarting interrupted unreceived notifications
An interrupted user notification wait returns ERESTARTSYS before the
syscall body has run. If the notifying task's handler for the delivered
signal was installed without SA_RESTART, that task sees EINTR even for
calls whose callers do not expect it. This can make fork fail
unexpectedly or make close report EINTR while leaving the descriptor
open. A leaked pipe write end can prevent readers from seeing EOF.
The supervisor cannot repair this result once the interrupted task
removes the notification. If removal happens before receipt, the
supervisor never receives that request; a reply using its ID would fail
with ENOENT. Receiving notifications eagerly only narrows the scheduling
window. WAIT_KILLABLE_RECV protects supervisor processing after receipt,
but deliberately leaves the pre-receive wait interruptible.
A sandbox also cannot transparently fix this in the target. It cannot
require arbitrary workloads to retry calls such as fork and close.
Retrying close on EINTR is unsafe when the native syscall has already
released the descriptor. Forcing SA_RESTART on application handlers
would change cancellation behavior for other blocking calls.
Sandlock encounters this while mediating process creation to enforce
process limits. For example, dash installs its SIGCHLD handler without
SA_RESTART. While dash is creating a pipeline, an earlier child can exit
and generate SIGCHLD while dash waits for a fork notification to be
received. The interrupted wait then makes fork return EINTR, causing
dash to report "Cannot fork". Removing fork from notification mediation
would bypass the process-limit enforcement that sandlock needs.
Add SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_RESTART_BEFORE_RECV, requiring NEW_LISTENER.
Under notify_lock, convert an interrupted wait's ERESTARTSYS to
ERESTARTNOINTR only while the notification remains INIT. The notifying
task's signal handler still runs; if it returns normally, syscall entry
and the filter are evaluated again.
Keep this opt-in because commit

bpf: Treat load and store through a number as arena access
There are no address spaces in Rust. LLVM emits plain loads and stores
for arena memory, without cast_kern:
r3 = 0x20 ll // R_BPF_64_64 .bss, libbpf puts it into arena
r2 = *(u64 *)(r3 + 0) // R3 invalid mem access 'scalar'
lock *(u64 *)(r2 + 8) += r1
Add BPF_F_ARENA_SCALAR flag of BPF_PROG_LOAD. When the program is loaded
with it and has an arena treat ldx, stx, st and atomics through a number
as arena access. It's as safe as access through PTR_TO_ARENA: JIT adds
the base of arena to the low 32 bits of the address. The program has
an arena only with CAP_BPF and CAP_PERFMON.
Registers of the program are not changed, since Rust compares and
stores the address after the access. bpf_do_misc_fixups() copies
the low 32 bits into BPF_REG_AX and the access goes through it:
r2 = *(u64 *)(r3 + 0) -> w12 = w3
r2 = *(u64 *)(r12 + 0)
Constant blinding needs BPF_REG_AX for immediates and leaves insns that
use BPF_REG_AX alone. So the immediate of st through a number is not
blinded, the rest of the program is:
*(u64 *)(r3 + 0) = 1 -> w12 = w3
*(u64 *)(r12 + 0) = 1
The same insn may see PTR_TO_ARENA on another path. It works for both.
It's a flag, since a number is also what the verifier makes of a pointer
that went away when the program has CAP_PERFMON: a ringbuf record after
bpf_ringbuf_submit(), a pointer to the packet after bpf_skb_pull_data().
Programs in C that have an arena keep "invalid mem access 'scalar'" for
such bugs.
JIT tells with bpf_jit_supports_arena_scalar() that it takes BPF_REG_AX
as the address of arena access. With other JITs the flag is rejected
with -EOPNOTSUPP. x86 and arm64 do:
- x86: the fault handler finds the register that holds the address
through reg2pt_regs[]. Add BPF_REG_AX, r10 of x86, there.
- arm64: nothing else is needed. The JIT takes any register as the
address and the fault handler reads it by its number. Compile tested
only.
Any number is an address of arena, NULL and small numbers included, like
it is for PTR_TO_ARENA: arena code in C dereferences NULL and relies on
the fault being handled.
Still rejected:
- insn that sees a number on one path and a pointer that is not
PTR_TO_ARENA on another.
- numbers passed to helpers and kfuncs, except __arena arguments.

tools/nolibc: check for overflow in malloc()
malloc() adds the size of its header to the requested size without
checking for overflow. For a size within the header size of SIZE_MAX,
the sum wraps around to a few bytes, and malloc() returns a single page
instead of NULL.
calloc() checks its multiplication for overflow, but then passes the
product to malloc(), so calloc(SIZE_MAX, 1) returns a single page too.
So does realloc(ptr, SIZE_MAX).
Such a size is usually a bug in the caller, for instance a length of -1
used as a size_t, and returning a page instead of NULL can turn it into
a heap overflow.
Fail with ENOMEM when adding the header overflows, as glibc does for
sizes this large.

tools/nolibc: stop rounding malloc() sizes up to 4096 bytes
malloc() rounds the size of each mapping up to a multiple of 4096, presumably to align it to a page boundary. But the page size is not 4096 on all architectures, and mmap() and munmap() round the length up to the page size themselves. Drop the rounding. As heap->len is no longer rounded up, growing a block with realloc() now always creates a new mapping.

bpf: Add file descriptor interface for program streams
The existing BPF_PROG_STREAM_READ_BY_FD command only supports polling a program stream through repeated bpf() calls. It cannot block for new data or integrate with poll-based event loops. Add BPF_PROG_STREAM_OPEN to return a read-only, close-on-exec file descriptor for a selected program stream. Reads block by default and BPF_F_STREAM_NONBLOCK, the only accepted flag, provides non-blocking behavior. poll reports readable data and reports hangup once the program has been freed. Like pipes and sockets, the descriptor is not seekable and lseek fails with ESPIPE. A stream descriptor deliberately does not retain the program. Move each stream into a separately refcounted allocation so program teardown can mark it dead and wake descriptor users while outstanding descriptors drain buffered data safely. Readers sample the dead flag before looking for data, so EOF is reported only when the stream was already dead before it was found empty; data published right before teardown is never skipped. Only programs loaded through BPF_PROG_LOAD get streams. Classic BPF filters, JIT subprograms and shim programs never write to one, and kernel-side writers already resolve a subprogram to its main program, so those programs no longer carry stream state. Readiness needs its own counter. Stream capacity is charged before allocation and before an element is published to the stream log, so using that reservation as the read and poll condition can report readable data while no element exists: a blocking reader retries instead of sleeping and a lone non-blocking reader can see POLLIN followed by EAGAIN. Publish bytes with release ordering after adding elements to the lockless log, use acquire loads before consuming them or reporting readiness, limit each read to its readable snapshot and subtract only bytes actually copied. This keeps the aggregate count correct even when concurrent publishers update it out of publication order. With several readers on one stream, readiness remains advisory, as it is for pipes. The capacity counter is kept solely for enforcing the stream size limit. Wakeups are always deferred through irq_work. Stream writers run in whatever context the program runs in: NMI context for perf_event programs, sections with interrupts disabled inside bpf_spin_lock or rqspinlock critical sections since bpf_stream_vprintk() is KF_SPINLOCK_SAFE, and tracing programs attached anywhere in the kernel, including inside the wait queue and epoll code itself. Waking waiters directly from there can deadlock, and no cheap context check covers every case: on PREEMPT_RT, spinlock_t sections do not disable interrupts, so in_nmi() or irqs_disabled() cannot tell such a program apart from a benign one. Queue an irq_work item instead, as bpf_ringbuf does. Queue it only when a publication turns an empty stream readable. Readers block and pollers wait only after finding the stream empty, and the readable count never drops below zero because each read is bounded by its snapshot, so the first publication after such an observation is the one that makes the count positive, and it is the one that queues the wakeup. Publications into a stream that already holds data raise no interrupt, so a program that prints while nobody drains its stream pays for a single irq_work until the stream is emptied again. This matches bpf_ringbuf, which notifies only once the consumer has caught up. Blocking readers and level-triggered pollers re-check the readable count before waiting, so they cannot miss data, and edge-triggered epoll consumers drain until EAGAIN before waiting again, as epoll(7) requires. Synchronize pending work before releasing the final stream reference so the callback cannot outlive the stream, but only when the work was ever queued: irq_work_sync() waits for an RCU grace period on PREEMPT_RT and on architectures without an irq_work interrupt.

verrx() passes its va_list to warnx() instead of vwarnx(). warnx() is
variadic, so it takes the va_list as its first and only argument, and
the conversions in the format string print the va_list itself and then
whatever is left in the following argument slots. On x86_64, for
instance,
errx(1, "int args: %d %d %d", 1, 2, 3);
prints something like "int args: -1699009032 1 2", where the first
number comes from the address of the va_list and changes from run to
run, and
errx(1, "%d %s", 1234, "foo");
crashes with SIGSEGV, as "%s" takes a leftover argument slot for the
string. errx() goes through verrx(), so every message with arguments
printed by either of them is wrong.

BTF_KIND_LOC_PROTO represents location information about a location with multiple BTF_KIND_LOC_PARAMs. And finally BTF_KIND_LOCSEC is a set of location sites, each of which has - a BTF_KIND_FUNC function associated with the inline site - a location prototype specifying where to find the function parameters - an address offset relative to the kernel base address This can be used to support representing - a fully-inlined function at potentially multiple inline sites with potentially different parameter availability - a partially-inlined function where some _LOC_PROTOs represent inlined sites as above and others have normal _FUNC representations Also BTF_KIND_LOCSEC struct btf_loc will have two type id references; one for the associated func, the other for the loc_proto.

tools: use __pa() in virt_to_phys()
With 32-bit pointers and a 64-bit phys_addr_t, GCC warns about the pointer-to-integer cast in virt_to_phys(). It can also sign-extend pointers whose top bit is set, turning 0x80000000 into 0xffffffff80000000. Use __pa() to convert through unsigned long before widening the result. This preserves the unsigned pointer value and matches the other address conversion helpers.

bpf: Add bpf_call_rcu() kfunc
BPF programs that manage their own objects have no way to run their own
logic once an RCU grace period has elapsed. bpf_obj_drop() defers a
free, but returning an index to an allocator or unpinning a resource
once readers are done has no equivalent. sched_ext's BPF library works
around this today by pushing freed nodes onto a list and having a
userspace thread call membarrier(MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL) and then run a
BPF program to reclaim them.
Add:
int bpf_call_rcu(struct bpf_rcu_head *rh, void *map,
int (*callback)(struct bpf_map *map, void *key,
void *value));
@rh is a struct bpf_rcu_head embedded in a value of @map, so the
callback runs as callback(map, key, value) for the element it lives in
and needs no cookie. A head can only be armed once, which bounds
outstanding work by the number of elements.
struct bpf_rcu_head holds the callback state inline rather than a
pointer to it, as bpf_timer, bpf_wq and bpf_task_work do, because there
is nothing to cancel and so nothing that has to outlive the map value.
That avoids an allocation and a state machine on the arming path at the
cost of 48 bytes per element.
An RCU callback cannot be cancelled, so everything it touches has to
stay alive until it runs:
- The callback is the program's text, so arming takes a program
reference as bpf_timer, bpf_wq and bpf_task_work do, dropped once
the callback returns. bpf_prog_inc_not_zero() also fails the arm
with -EBADF once the program is dying.
- The map is held by that reference through used_maps. An inner map
is not, so bpf_rcu_head is rejected in one.
- The field is only accepted in BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY, whose elements
are never freed individually. A hash element can be deleted and
recycled while a callback is queued on it.
- The head is disarmed before the callback runs so it can be armed
again from there, which takes a new program reference before the
running callback drops its own. Arming therefore fails with -EPERM
once the map is held by neither a process nor bpffs.
bpf_iter hands a program a writable pointer to the live element, which
would let it overwrite a queued head, so bpf_iter_attach_map() rejects
maps carrying one.
The callback is verified non-sleepable even when the caller is
sleepable, and RCU invokes it with BH disabled.

bitfield: get rid of __MAKE_OP machinery
The __MAKE_OP machinery hides the fixed-width bitfield helper definitions from source searches and makes the end result highly obscured and largely uncontrolled. This follows earlier discussions about making these helpers easier to find: [1], [2]. Move the explicit helpers and their shared checks into linux/bitfield-fix-width.h in both the kernel and tools headers, and include it from bitfield.h to preserve existing users. The repeated overflow check is factored into __assert_field(), preserving the original condition and compile-time diagnostics. With GCC 15.2.0 and x86-64 defconfig plus the bitfield KUnit tests, the before/after kernel builds are binary identical. The __MAKE_OP generates the following 40 functions (including the direct ____MAKE_OP(u8,u8,,) invocation): u8_encode_bits() u8_replace_bits() u8p_replace_bits() u8_get_bits() le16_encode_bits() le16_replace_bits() [dead code] le16p_replace_bits() le16_get_bits() be16_encode_bits() be16_replace_bits() [dead code] be16p_replace_bits() [dead code] be16_get_bits() u16_encode_bits() u16_replace_bits() u16p_replace_bits() u16_get_bits() le32_encode_bits() le32_replace_bits() [dead code] le32p_replace_bits() le32_get_bits() be32_encode_bits() be32_replace_bits() [dead code] be32p_replace_bits() be32_get_bits() u32_encode_bits() u32_replace_bits() u32p_replace_bits() u32_get_bits() le64_encode_bits() le64_replace_bits() [dead code] le64p_replace_bits() [dead code] le64_get_bits() be64_encode_bits() be64_replace_bits() [dead code] be64p_replace_bits() [dead code] be64_get_bits() u64_encode_bits() u64_replace_bits() u64p_replace_bits() u64_get_bits() Functions marked with [dead code] have no in-tree callers and are removed by this change.

bpf: tcp: Support parse/len/write header option hooks in bpf_tcp_ops
Add the TCP header option callbacks to the bpf_tcp_ops struct_ops type:
parse_hdr - parse the options of an incoming skb on an established
connection
hdr_opt_len - reserve space in the TCP header for bpf options
write_hdr_opt - write the reserved bpf options
These mirror the BPF_SOCK_OPS_PARSE_HDR_OPT_CB, _HDR_OPT_LEN_CB and
_WRITE_HDR_OPT_CB legacy sockops callbacks, but are exposed as struct_ops
members so a program can implement them with normal function signatures
and per-member helper sets.
The reserved header window is shared between the legacy sockops and
bpf_tcp_ops paths. tcp_{syn,synack,established}_options() first run the
legacy BPF_SOCK_OPS_HDR_OPT_LEN_CB and then call hdr_opt_len, so both
sources accumulate into opts->bpf_opt_len; at write time the legacy
options are emitted first and bpf_tcp_ops writes after them.
API design
bpf_tcp_ops overloads the sock_ops header-option helpers rather than
introducing a new API: bpf_reserve_hdr_opt(), bpf_store_hdr_opt() and
bpf_load_hdr_opt() are exposed per-member (reserve for hdr_opt_len,
store/load for write_hdr_opt, load for parse_hdr) and share the existing
kernel option-walking core via _bpf_sock_ops{store,load}hdr_opt(), with
the bpf_tcp_ops wrappers synthesizing a temporary bpf_sock_ops_kern from
the program ctx. This keeps a port from the legacy
BPF_SOCK_OPS*_HDR_OPT_CB callbacks mechanical (same helper calls) and
adds no new UAPI helper/kfunc surface.
An alternative considered was to drop the option helpers entirely: have
hdr_opt_len reserve space purely through its return value, and introduce
a dedicated TCP-header-option dynptr used for both reading and writing.
That is a cleaner, more self-contained interface, but it is a larger
change and does not reuse the legacy helpers, making a port from sockops
less mechanical. It can be pursued as a follow-up; the helper-based
interface here keeps this series focused on moving the hooks to
struct_ops.
The hdr_opt_len fast path in tcp_established_options() is gated by
cgroup_bpf_enabled(CGROUP_TCP_SOCK_OPS). Note this is a global,
per-attach-type static branch: it is enabled whenever any bpf_tcp_ops is
attached, even one that does not implement hdr_opt_len or that is attached
to a different cgroup. In those cases the block still runs but
bpf_tcp_ops_hdr_opt_len() no-ops via the per-member check in the dispatch
macro. A per-member/per-cgroup gate could be added later if the extra
fast-path work proves measurable.

bpf: Add infrastructure to support attaching struct_ops to cgroups
This patch adds necessary infrastructure to attach a struct_ops
map to a cgroup. The initial need was to support migrating
the legacy BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS to a struct_ops.
Recently, there are other struct_ops use cases that
need to attach struct_ops to a cgroup. For example,
the recent BPF OOM and memcg discussion in LSFMMBPF 2026.
The motivation is to create a consistent expectation
for attaching struct_ops to cgroup instead of each subsystem
creating its own infrastructure. This logic includes
hierarchy expectation, ordering expectation,
attachment API, and rcu gp.
There is already an existing implementation for attaching
multiple bpf progs to a cgroup. There are also tools
built around it for querying. Attaching a struct_ops map
(which is a group of bpf programs) could also adhere to
a similar API and potentially reuse most of the existing
implementation.
A couple of ideas have been tried. One of them
is to use mprog.c. In terms of the amount of changes,
I eventually came to the same conclusion as in

netlink: specs: netdev: update doc for xsk tx-checksum and zc-max-segs
Minor touch ups to the XSK-related doc strings in the netdev spec. Tx checksum is (obviously?) Layer 4 (TCP/UDP), not Layer 3 (IP). The xdp_zc_max_segs change is more subtle, I guess, but to kernel devs saying "frags" may sound like the number of skb frags. The value includes the head in this case. The default of 1 means single buffer, XDP_USE_SG sockets are refused when it is 1. Let's use the word "buffer" instead of "frag".
