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.

Merge tag 'bpf-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf
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)

A handful of late-arriving changes, most of which were ready ahead of the
merge window:
- More Portuguese translation updates
- Some docs-build and self-test fixes
- Bring documentation for the user-space access primitives in
include/linux/uaccess.h into the docs build. This revealed a number of
malformed kerneldoc comments, which are fixed in a subsequent tweak to
uaccess.h.

libbpf: Keep format strings of bpf_printk() in .rodata
The format strings of bpf_printk() moved from .rodata to .rodata.str for
one reason. .arena.data moved .rodata into arena, and helpers cannot read
strings from arena.
.arena.data is removed. Move the strings back to .rodata. As a result, an
object that has its own .rodata has one map less.

libbpf: Remove .arena.data
Rust has no address spaces. Thus a global variable cannot have the __arena
attribute. The .arena.data section was a workaround. It told libbpf to do
two things:
- Move .data, .bss and .rodata into arena.
- Load the progs with BPF_F_ARENA_SCALAR.
The compiler must select the location of a variable, not libbpf. libbpf
already puts the .addr_space.1 section in arena. The __arena variables of C
are in this section, and LLVM can use it for Rust too. Until LLVM does
that, the global data of Rust progs stays in array maps.

perf mmap: Preserve the consumed cursor in forward mode
perf_mmap__read_event() updates prev as it consumes forward-buffer
records. perf_mmap__read_done() then overwrites prev with a fresh
producer head, even when unread records remain.
perf_kvm__mmap_read_idx() stops after 25 records per mmap and calls
read_done(). If more records are pending, prev advances past them. The
next drain starts at that new position and skips the unread remainder.
An event arriving after the last empty read_event() and before
read_done() can also be skipped. read_done() does not itself update the
kernel's data_tail.
Only refresh prev for overwrite buffers, which need the current head as
the end of the next backward read. Leave the forward cursor at the
consumed position.

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.

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.

docs: xforms_lists: Handle DECLARE_KHOSER_PTR() struct members
KHO ABI structures declare their preservation pointers with DECLARE_KHOSER_PTR(name, type), which expands to a union of the pointer and its physical address. kernel-doc does not know the macro and does not see the member: it warns that an unnamed member is not described and that the description of the member is excess. Translate DECLARE_KHOSER_PTR(name, type) into "type name", as is done for DECLARE_KFIFO_PTR().

libbpf: Render the arena type tag with its address space
A kernel struct member tagged __arena reaches a program built against
vmlinux.h as a pointer in the kernel address space with the tag as an
attribute, struct scx_cmask __attribute__((btf_type_tag("arena"))) *cmask,
so the program casts it to the arena address space before dereferencing
it, although the verifier already hands it an arena pointer.
The tag denotes a pointer into the BPF arena, address_space(1) to the
compiler, so render it as such: __attribute__((address_space(1)))
followed by the tag attribute as before, which keeps the dump faithful
to the BTF. A program then reads the member as an arena pointer and
hands it to anything declared with its own __arena without a cast.
Nothing else changes for consumers of the C dump. Skeletons strip the
modifiers of variable types and never carried the tag. Clang without
casts between address spaces still accepts the declaration and only a
program touching such a member would need a cast there, as it did for
every arena pointer before. GCC has no address spaces for BPF and warns,
under -Wattributes, that it ignores the attribute, which the selftests
build already silences.

libbpf: Bind the arena of an object to every program in it
A program has an arena only when one of its insns refers to the arena
map. The kernel can hand a program arena pointers all the same: as
__arena struct_ops arguments, through __arena struct members and as
kfunc return values. The verifier rejects those in a program without an
arena, since it has nowhere to place them, and so a struct_ops callback
that touches nothing but its arguments fails to load until it refers to
the arena artificially, e.g. with asm volatile("" :: "r"(&arena)).
Bind the arena of an object to every program loaded from it. The kernel
binds the maps of a continuous fd_array (fd_array_cnt) like maps an insn
refers to, so pass the arena in slot 0, which is free: a kfunc insn with
offset 0 names vmlinux BTF rather than a slot. The module BTF slots that
follow stay as they are. A feature probe keeps older kernels, which
reject a non-zero fd_array_cnt, on the previous behavior.
An object has at most one arena, libbpf refuses a second one, so there
is no ambiguity about which arena a program gets. Programs that never
touch the arena see it among their maps, and pay for the arena base
setup in their JIT prologue until a later patch spares them that; the
arena now lives as long as any program of the object. With the count,
the kernel also resolves every module BTF slot of the array for every
program of the object, so each of them holds the modules the object
calls into, not only the programs that call them. Where the JIT is
disabled or the loader lacks CAP_PERFMON, every program of such an
object now fails to load, since an arena needs both, where before only
the programs using the arena did. bpf_program__clone() binds the arena
the same way, so a program loads through veristat as it does through
bpf_object__load(). An arena exclusive to another program and the
light skeleton loader are left alone.
An arena exclusive to the program itself is bound only where the kernel
checks an exclusive map against the digest of the final program. Earlier
kernels compared a map bound through the fd_array against a digest they
had not computed yet and refused the load for the very program the map
is exclusive to, so a second probe loads a program with a map exclusive
to it through fd_array_cnt; where that fails, the program keeps binding
its arena through its insns, as before.

libbpf: Keep the fd_array fill index out of bpf_program__clone()
bpf_program__clone() hands the kernel the fd_array of the object along
with obj->fd_array_cnt when the caller supplies neither. That counter is
not a count the kernel can use: it is the index of the next free slot
of an array built for the sparse fd_array API, where module BTF fds
start at slot 1 and slot 0 stays empty, since a kfunc insn with offset
0 names vmlinux BTF rather than a slot. A non-zero fd_array_cnt turns
the array into a continuous one, which the kernel resolves slot by
slot, and slot 0 holds 0. Cloning a program from an object that calls a
module kfunc thus fails with "fd 0 is not pointing to valid bpf_map or
btf", for every program of the object, which is what veristat runs into
on such an object. bpf_object__load() passes the array without a count.
Do the same in bpf_program__clone(), leaving the count to callers who
pass an array of their own, and rename the counter to fd_array_used so
that it no longer reads like the uapi field.

selftests/mm: add khugepaged completion barrier helper
A khugepaged test has to tell "not collapsed" from "not scanned yet", and nothing in the selftests can. wait_for_scan() in khugepaged.c comes closest: it polls full_scans until the counter has advanced by two, since the pass in progress may already have passed the test's mm. But it only returns in time if scan_sleep_millisecs happens to be short, and it is private to that one test. Add khugepaged_full_pass() to hugepage_settings, built on the same advance-by-two wait but driven through sysfs: a store to scan_sleep_millisecs wakes the daemon, so the barrier completes whatever the scan cadence. A store made while the daemon is scanning rather than sleeping is lost, so the helper keeps storing until the pass lands. One wake completes one pass only if pages_to_scan covers every mm on the list, so callers need it large. Settings pushes must not start passes of their own. A store to either sleep knob wakes the daemon, so thp_write_settings() now writes a khugepaged knob only when its value changes.

selftests/mm: skip khugepaged page cache cases without a PMD folio
The page cache caps folio order at MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER, which is below the PMD order on arm64 with 64K pages, where a PMD is 512M. A PMD-sized page cache folio is impossible there, so the kernel refuses these collapses: MADV_COLLAPSE answers -EINVAL and khugepaged passes over the range. Four shmem cases ask for a PMD-sized folio anyway, fail, and the run bails out in the middle. Skip the shmem and file mem types where the cap is below the PMD order. The cap is not shmem-specific: it applies to every file folio. Add thp_file_supported_orders() to read the orders the page cache allows. Anonymous collapse is unaffected: its orders are not capped this way.

libbpf: Keep global data in arena when the object has .arena.data
All memory of a Rust program is arena, global data included. There are
no address spaces in Rust to say so. LLVM also drops bounds checks of
indexes into constant tables of core that it proved, so the verifier
can't check the access as access to map value.
The object asks for it with a section named .arena.data. What is in
the section doesn't matter:
#[used]
#[link_section = ".arena.data"]
static DATA_IN_ARENA: u8 = 0;
or in C:
char data_in_arena SEC(".arena.data");
There is nothing to tell to libbpf, so bpftool, veristat and other
loaders work with such objects as they are. When the object has the
section:
- .data, .bss and .rodata sections are appended to arena data after
__arena variables, at the alignment of the section. Like __arena
variables the data is at the end of arena.
- relocations of insns against the sections become relocations against
the arena map.
- array maps of the sections are not created.
- when the object has no arena map libbpf creates one that is as large
as the data. bpf_object__find_map_by_name(obj, "arena") finds it and
bpf_map__set_max_entries() makes room for allocations. __arena
variables still need the arena map to be declared.
Read-only sections that stay frozen array maps:
- .data.rel.ro and sections that have relocations in them. The kernel
recognizes pointers to functions in them by value for callx.
- .rodata.str*. They hold const strings for __str arguments of kfuncs.
A copy of them is in arena too.
The program dereferences pointers that it loads from data, so pointers
to data that are stored in data become addresses of arena, wherever the
pointer is. The arena map is created ahead of the other maps then, since
its address goes into their data. A pointer to .rodata.str* points to
the copy. A pointer to a section that is not in arena fails the load:
sec '.data': pointer to 'tbl' at offset 8 can't be resolved:
sec '.data.rel.ro' is not in arena
So does an arena that is pinned or reused. libbpf doesn't mmap it, so
its address is not known.
Programs of the object are loaded with BPF_F_ARENA_SCALAR, since they
access the data through plain numbers.

Two instruction offset validation failures return -EINVAL directly instead of going through the common cleanup path. These checks were moved into bpf_object__relocate_core() when bpf_core_apply_relo() was split, preserving direct returns that were safe in the previous helper but now bypass cleanup.

libbpf: Render decl_tags in btf_dump
BTF_KIND_DECL_TAG is an attribute on a declaration: with kind_flag=0
the tag name is the argument of a btf_decl_tag(), and with kind_flag=1
it encodes a complete __attribute__.
When doing btf_dump, render both forms at every declaration btf_dump
emits - a record, a record member and a typedef:
struct foo { ... } __attribute__((bar));
struct foo { int a __attribute__((bar)); };
typedef struct { ... } __attribute__((bar)) foo_t;
A decl tag is a standalone type pointing at its target. Build an
index of decl tags in btf_dump_resize(). Keep it as a flat array
sorted by (target ID, tag ID). This allows for a stable emission order
in btf_dump_emit_decl_tags().
btf_dump_emit_decl_tags() binary searches for where the target's
entries would begin and walks tags while the target matches. A record
shares its target with its members, so the component_idx is matched
there.
A record attribute goes after the closing brace, where
__attribute__((packed)) already goes. A member attribute goes after
the bit-field width: clang rejects one between the declarator and the
':'. A typedef takes it after the declarator, so a typedef of an
anonymous record can carry two groups at once, one binding to the
record and one to the typedef.
This closes a generic gap in btf_dump, which silently dropped every
decl tag it was given.

libbpf: Fix static linking of externs placed in allocated sections
Clang puts an extern variable that ends up with a section, an extern map in .maps or an arena global in .addr_space.<N>, into the BTF DATASEC of that section, next to the object's own definitions and with offset 0. Unlike .kconfig and .ksyms, that section is a real allocated ELF section whenever the same object also defines a variable in it. The static linker handles such externs incorrectly in two ways. The output symbol of an unresolved extern gets the destination section's index and offset instead of staying SHN_UNDEF with a zero value. For ephemeral sections both are 0, so this only shows up for allocated sections, where the extern turns into a size-zero NOTYPE definition. Linking the output again then fails with "conflicting non-weak symbol" against a strong definition of that variable, or, against a weak one, keeps the bogus symbol and resolves every reference to offset 0 of the section. And if the section of the object with the extern doesn't start at offset 0 of the output section, the output symbol fails linker_sanity_check_elf_symtab() on the next link with "invalid extern symbol" before any of that. When the extern is resolved by a later object in the same link, the DATASEC entry appended for the extern keeps its placeholder offset, as linker_append_btf() only updates the size of an existing entry. The ELF symbol and the BTF secinfo then disagree and skeleton generation fails with: Error: Something is wrong for .addr_space.1's variable #1: need offset 0, already at 8. Keep unresolved externs SHN_UNDEF with a zero value in the output symbol table, and once an extern is resolved take the offset of its DATASEC entry from the ELF symbol, which already accounts for weak vs. strong resolution.

kbuild: compress the kernel with pigz if available
The gzip step of a kernel build is very lengthy, especially for larger
builds such as allmodconfig.
gzip itself cannot be run in parallel, however an alternative tool exists
that can, providing the same feature set as gzip itself - pigz - which
works as a drop-in replacement.
On a 128-core Threadripper, gzip -9 of a 36 MiB x86-64 vmlinux.bin takes
1.6s, and with pigz it takes 0.09s, so the performance increase is
significant.
Therefore introduce the KPGZIP build variable which specifies the
compressor to use for the kernel image and default it to pigz if available,
or KGZIP otherwise (which itself defaults to gzip).
Modules, packaging and the embedded kernel configuration (CONFIG_IKCONFIG)
continue to use KGZIP which defaults to a single-threaded gzip instance.
Module compression is run in parallel by make, so pigz offers no benefit
there, packaging sits outside the build and the embedded configuration is
too small to matter.
pigz is executed using scripts/jobserver-exec, which reserves the job slots
make has free - necessary, as otherwise pigz would just grab unbounded
CPUs.
The kernel image compression step is always performed at the end of the
build so should typically have all job slots available.
pigz always provides byte-for-byte identical output across runs regardless
of thread count, but pigz and gzip are not guaranteed to generate the same
binary output, so reproducible builds must use the same tools consistently.
Also update Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.rst to describe KPGZIP and
Documentation/process/changes.rst to list the optional pigz dependency.
While there, add entries for the other compressor programs.
Finally, update scripts/ver_linux to include the pigz version there.
Every x86 build ends with the compression of vmlinux.bin, 36MB for
defconfig and over 200MB for allmodconfig, no-op builds are unchanged.
Whole build, 128-thread Threadripper 9980X, best of N runs:

perf evlist: Don't restrict uncore events to PMU CPUs
The PMU CPU map has different semantics for core and uncore PMUs.
For core PMUs, pmu_cpus contains the CPUs on which the event can be
opened. Intersect the user-requested CPU map with the PMU CPU map to
reject CPUs unsupported by the PMU.
For uncore PMUs, pmu_cpus is read from the PMU's cpumask sysfs attribute,
which lists the default CPU to open the event on per socket/die, not the
set of CPUs it can only be opened on. The user-requested CPU may override
these defaults, and the driver can redirect the event to the appropriate
control CPU.
Currently, __perf_evlist__propagate_maps() intersects the user-requested
CPU map with pmu_cpus for all PMUs. If the user-requested CPU is not in
pmu_cpus, the intersection becomes empty and the evsel is removed before
perf_event_open() is called.
Add evsel->is_pmu_uncore, set once from pmu->is_uncore at parse time,
to skip the intersection for uncore PMUs. Core PMUs, and other
non-core PMUs such as software events, breakpoints, or tracepoints,
continue to be restricted to their PMU CPU map.

libbpf: Add support for BTF kinds LOC[_PARAM|_PROTO|SEC]
Add support for new kinds to libbpf. BTF_KIND_LOC_PARAM and BTF_KIND_LOC_PROTO are dedup-able so add support for their deduplication, whereas since BTF_KIND_LOCSEC contains a unique offset it is not. LOC_PARAM is considered a primary type since it contains no external references; LOC_PROTO is a reference type consisting of LOC_PARAM references so they are handled in the primary and reference dedup phases respectively. For BTF field iteration, BTF_KIND_LOCSEC needs 2 m_offs[] values for the associated KIND_FUNC and KIND_LOC_PROTO type ids in each LOCSEC entry. Add APIs to add location param, location prototypes and location sections and btf_is_* tests, data accessors for each. For BTF distillation we add location info to split BTF.

libbpf: Support pointers to functions in read-only data in light skeleton
Light skeleton doesn't create maps. The loader prog does at run time. Teach gen_loader to create a copy of .rodata map with offsets of functions for a prog, see create_func_ptr_map(). - Such maps are not maps of the object and are not in the loader ctx. Reserve slots in fd_array after the maps of the object for them and close their fds when the loader is done or fails. The progs hold them. Which progs have callx is not known when the loader is initialized, so reserve for every prog if .text has callx and for the progs that have callx otherwise. - Add bpf_gen__func_ptr_map_create() that emits map create, update, freeze and returns the index in fd_array for ld_imm64 BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_IDX_VALUE. - User space can set .rodata before loading the skeleton, see initial_value in bpf_map_desc. Copy it into the copy of the map as well and store the offsets of functions on top, since user space doesn't have them. - Light skeleton can be generated for a target of another endianness. Store the offsets in the byte order of the object. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260924031042.1690890-15-alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com |

libbpf: Treat .data.rel.ro as read-only data
PIC code keeps constants with pointers, e.g. vtables, in .data.rel.ro instead of .rodata. Nothing writes there after relocation. libbpf treats every .data* section as writable, while the kernel looks for pointers to functions in frozen read-only maps only. Make .data.rel.ro and .data.rel.ro.* maps read-only and frozen like .rodata and collect pointers to functions there.

libbpf: Resolve pointers to functions in read-only data
The kernel recognizes a pointer to a function in frozen read-only array
map by value: byte offset of a static function in the program.
Make it work for tables of functions, struct ops, vtables in .rodata:
static const struct shape_ops square_ops = { 1, area, 10, perimeter };
...
return ops->area(x) * ops->scale;
is compiled into
r3 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 8)
callx r3
where 'area' in .rodata is R_BPF_64_ABS64 relocation against .text.
- Collect relocations in .rodata* that are aligned pointers to
functions. Relocations in data were ignored. The rest still are.
- Append all static functions that the section points to, since any
of them can be called, if the prog refers to the section and has
callx. callx cannot call global functions. Don't pull them in. Such
pointer is NULL.
- Functions have different offsets in different progs, so create a copy
of the map per prog and store the offsets there. The kernel replaces
them with addresses at load and the prog must be the only user of
the map. The map of the section itself is left as-is.
- Progs without callx cannot call them and the kernel doesn't look for
pointers in their data. They keep using the map of the section and
nothing is appended to them.
- The kernel treats any aligned u64 that matches an offset of a static
function as a pointer. Warn if data has one that isn't.
Light skeleton is not supported yet.

libbpf: Support pointers to static functions in data when linking
A pointer to a static function in data, e.g.
static int (* const handlers[])(void *ctx) = { foo, bar };
is R_BPF_64_ABS64 relocation against .text section symbol with the offset
of the function stored in place. The linker rejects it:
relocation against STT_SECTION in non-exec section is not supported!
so an object with a table of static functions cannot go through
'bpftool gen object', which all selftests do.
Functions move by the offset of input .text in the output section.
Add it to the pointer. Swap bytes if the object is of foreign endianness,
since data sections are kept in the byte order of the object.

bpftool: Compute map size of light skeletons at runtime
bpftool rounds memory-mapped data map sizes to the host page size when
generating a light skeleton. The generated code therefore uses a 64K
mapping size when bpftool runs on a 64K-page host, even if the skeleton
runs on a 4K-page target. The target rejects the oversized map mmap(),
causing failure of loading the light skeleton.
When try to run 64K-page selftests on 4K-page VM, the error message does
not provide the reason about page size.
test_atomics:PASS:atomics skeleton open 0 nsec
test_atomics:FAIL:atomics skeleton load unexpected error: -12 (errno 22)
#15 atomics:FAIL
Pass the original map value size and max entries to the generated code and
round mmap size to the runtime page size in the user-space light
skeleton helpers. This keeps generated light skeletons independent of the
build host page size.

libbpf: Support selective kernel module BTF loading via bpf_object_open_opts
Add btf_module_allowlist and btf_module_allowlist_cnt fields to bpf_object_open_opts to limit which kernel module BTFs libbpf is allowed to load. When the option is not specified, the existing behavior remains unchanged. An explicitly specified empty allowlist prevents libbpf from consulting any kernel module BTFs. The allowlist limits which kernel module BTFs libbpf will consult wherever module BTF might be needed.

libbpf: Reject truncated ldimm64 CO-RE relocations
CO-RE relocation of an ldimm64 instruction operates on two instruction
slots. A malformed BPF ELF can end a function after the first slot and
attach a CO-RE relocation to it. libbpf allocates the instruction array
according to the function symbol size, so the shared relocation code would
then access beyond the allocation.
Reject a terminal ldimm64 in libbpf's relocation loop, where the program
length is available, before resolving or applying the relocation. Both
resolved and unresolved relocations validate the absent second slot, and
unresolved relocation poisoning would additionally write past the array.
The in-kernel caller is protected by the verifier's early instruction-stream
check before it applies CO-RE relocations.

bpf: Restrict CO-RE poisoning to relocatable instructions
CO-RE relocation records can name any instruction offset. When a
relocation cannot be resolved, bpf_core_patch_insn() currently poisons its
target before checking whether that instruction is a valid relocation
target. Malformed metadata can therefore replace jumps, calls, exits,
register-source arithmetic, or non-immediate loads instead of failing at
the relocation step.
Handle poisoning only after the instruction has passed the same class and
operand-form checks used for a resolved relocation. Route invalid forms
through the existing diagnostic and return a hard error. Keep poisoning
supported instructions, including both halves of a plain ldimm64, so an
unresolved relocation in dead code remains valid.
Extend bpf_core_poison_insn() to poison both halves of ldimm64, and return
its status directly from each validated instruction case. This avoids
routing the success path through a common label and leaves the helper free
to report errors.
The shared relocation code applies this restriction to both libbpf and
in-kernel CO-RE.

libbpf: Reject local struct_ops bitfields before data access
A local struct_ops type can contain a bitfield absent from the
corresponding kernel BTF type. bpf_map__init_kern_struct_ops() checks
whether data for an absent local member is zero.
For a bitfield, member->offset contains the bit offset and field width.
bpf_map__init_kern_struct_ops() used the encoded value to calculate the
member data pointer before rejecting the bitfield. The zero-data check
could therefore read outside st_ops->data and crash libbpf.
Reject local bitfields before calculating the member data pointer. Keep
the existing rejection for bitfields in the kernel type.

libbpf: Fix program log buffer size validation
bpf_program__set_log_buf() checks the existing prog->log_size instead of the incoming log_size argument when enforcing the UINT_MAX limit. As a result, an oversized value can be accepted. The setter also accepts a non-NULL log_buf with a zero log_size, while bpf_prog_load() rejects mismatched log buffer and size values.

perf record: Fix unhandled POLLHUP on non_perf_event descriptors
When processing POLLHUP on a non_perf_event control descriptor,
evlist__finalize_ctlfd() is invoked to finalize the setup, correctly
setting the core evlist's poll array file descriptor to -1. However,
this finalized teardown state is never propagated back to the
individual thread's local replica of the pollfd array.
Consequently, on the next iteration of the main recording loop,
record__update_evlist_pollfd_from_thread() performs a strict
equivalence check between the core evlist's array and the thread's
localized poll array, detecting that the fd values no longer match.
This causes an immediate -EINVAL abort and a premature teardown.
Fix the underlying logic within
record__update_evlist_pollfd_from_thread() to sustainably propagate
the finalized teardown statuses (-1) originating from the core evlist
back to the thread's localized poll structure. This correctly
maintains synchronization and entirely prevents the unhandled
index mismatch crashes.
Additionally, add a unit test that explicitly validates that
fdarray__filter() preserves its invariants regarding
fdarray_flag__nonfilterable items to guard against regressions.

libbpf: Add bpf_program__add_flags() and bpf_program__clear_flags()
When changing BPF program flags, applications often need to just add or remove a single flag, without touching the existing ones. When using the bpf_program__set_flags() function, this requires reading the existing flags and doing bitwise manipulations before resetting the result, which is slightly awkward to do, and easy to forget. Add two new convenience helpers, bpf_program__add_flags() and bpf_program__clear_flags(), which wraps bpf_program__set_flags() in the bitwise operations required to modify flags without clobbering the existing ones.

libbpf: Defer arena map size check to load time
init_arena_map_data() used the build-host page size while it opened an object. This could reject skeleton generation when the build host and target use different page sizes. Validate the size during load, before libbpf calculates the arena data offset. This uses the running kernel page size and rejects an undersized map before relocation. This problem manifested when cross compiling BPF selftests for arm64 (64K page) on x86 (4K page). In this setup skeleton generation fails.
