46 hoursarm64/mm: fix destructor for unconstructed hotplug page tablesMuchun Song
Commit c594b83457cc ("arm64: mm: call pagetable dtor when freeing hot-removed page tables") made free_hotplug_pgtable_page() unconditionally run the page-table destructor. This matches page tables allocated by the arm64 mapping code, which runs the corresponding constructors. However, arm64 also uses the generic sparse-vmemmap population code. Runtime intermediate page tables allocated by that code do not run a page-table constructor. Freeing one during memory hot-remove therefore runs a destructor without a matching constructor and corrupts NR_PAGETABLE accounting. Free intermediate page-table pages through pagetable_free(). It runs the destructor only for constructor-backed pages and then releases the page through the page-table freeing path.

Share hugetlb folio acquisition code and add a regression test for the previously fixed last-region skipping bug. - "mm/damon/core: cleanup code, reduce stack usage, and add kunit" (SJ Park): Reduce kdamond stack usage and remove unused enums. Add deterministic PSI quota-goal tests which do not depend on the machine's current memory pressure. - "mm/damon: fix the temporal goal tuner's size quota conversion" (Donggeun Yoo): Bound the temporal tuner's quota conversion to prevent overflow and zero effective quotas, which could stop schemes making progress. Add boundary tests. - "Don't use GFP_DMA when calling dma_alloc_coherent" (Baoquan He): Remove redundant GFP_DMA flags from coherent DMA allocation calls. The DMA API already selects the zone from device limits and ignores the caller's flag. - "kselftest: mm: fix intermittent failure khugepaged test" (Yeoreum Yun): Propagate child-process failures in the khugepaged tests and prevent background collapse from racing their checks. This removes false passes and intermittent failures. - "MAINTAINERS: cover all hugetlb headers under HUGETLB SUBSYSTEM" (Enze Li): Cover all hugetlb headers in MAINTAINERS so get_maintainer.pl finds the right maintainers. Also label the closing hugetlb_cgroup.h include guard. Summary of the 65 singletons in this merge: The singletons include a few worthwhile performance fixes. Avoiding unnecessary reverse-map tree updates gave a reported 15.9% improvement in UnixBench's execl test on a 192-core x86 system. A reclaim retry fix stops defrag_mode from spinning under memory.low protection; a reported file-creation stress test ran 5.7 times faster, with far less memory pressure. Narrower hugetlb invalidations also spare KVM guests needless refaults: the reported Redis-in-VM P99 QPS penalty while punching holes fell from 7.09% to 1.45%. Several fixes prevent lost data or corrupted memory. Lazyfree huge-page races with mremap()/munmap() could lose data or access freed memory, and MADV_COLD could lose a concurrent write's dirty bit. Another fix prevents stale migration entries from outliving large folios. On filesystems with blocks smaller than a page, extending a file by 4 GiB or more could expose bytes written past the old EOF through mmap instead of zeroes. That is fixed, along with use-after-free races in PAGEMAP_SCAN during process exit and in memory-cgroup accounting on PREEMPT_RT kernels. Other fixes stop UFFDIO_MOVE spinning forever on pinned large folios, which could wedge other memory operations, and stop mremap() leaking commit charges until allocations fail under strict overcommit. A further fix keeps userfaultfd tracking intact on neighboring mappings. NUMA binding no longer prevents long-term pins when the chosen node has only movable memory, fixing QEMU/VFIO startup and io_uring buffer registration failures. MGLRU also gets a fix for early-boot crashes with memory cgroups disabled at boot, notably in small crash kernels. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-10-25-19-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (213 commits) mm: multi-gen LRU: fix NULL lruvec->pgdat deref with memcg disabled on cmdline mm/page_counter: use WRITE_ONCE() for emin/elow when parent is the root mm/memcontrol: publish null pointer before dropping css reference test_maple_tree: test maple_range_64 node in RCU mode maple_tree: fix maple_range_64 crashes in RCU mode mm/vma: avoid broken uffd merge on mremap tools/testing/shared: catch a failed posix_memalign() mm/damon/core: remove unreachable damos charge_{target,addr}_from mm/shrinker: allocate shrinker_info_unit from a dedicated kmem_cache riscv: mm: exclude invalid THP PMDs from page table check mm/damon/core: filter out damos address filter-split failed region fs/proc/task_mmu: pin mm_users in do_pagemap_scan() mm/mempolicy: apply bind policies against the scoped allocation zone mm/vmscan: reclaim every zone in per-node proactive reclaim mm/mremap: correctly uncharge accountable VMAs in error path mm/mremap: populate calculated fields in vrm state correctly MAINTAINERS: add an entry for MEMORY MANAGEMENT - MEMORY MAP mm: bdi: reset min_ratio after the sysfs attributes are gone mm/page_vma_mapped: continue past nonmatching huge PMDs selftests/mm: skip hugetlb cgroup v2 tests without the needed controllers ...
3 daysarm64/mm: restrict transparent contpte mappings to valid PTEsZhao Gongyi
The transparent contpte layer treats PTE_CONT as software grouping state. When a valid PTE has PTE_CONT set, the contpte helpers may align an operation to a CONT_PTE_SIZE block and operate on the whole block. The current single-PTE helpers use pte_valid_cont() to identify such groups; this is a helper contract, not an architectural restriction on using PTE_CONT with present-invalid descriptors. Explicit users such as hugetlb manage their contiguous encodings separately. contpte_set_ptes() currently sets PTE_CONT from alignment alone. Batched set_ptes() users can therefore install present-invalid PTEs with PTE_CONT set, for example mprotect(PROT_NONE), NUMA hinting through modify_prot_commit_ptes(), fork() copying a PROT_NONE large folio, or a PMD split installing PAGE_NONE PTEs. This is not a hardware programming problem: invalid descriptors are not translated, so the hardware ignores descriptor bits such as PTE_CONT. It is a software-state problem. Some arm64 fast paths, such as test_and_clear_young_ptes(), test pte_cont() directly instead of pte_valid_cont(). In the observed failure, mprotect(PROT_NONE) installed a full CONT_PTE_SIZE range of present-invalid PTEs with PTE_CONT set. MADV_GUARD_INSTALL then zapped one PTE. The nr == 1 clear_full_ptes() path only unfolds pte_valid_cont() entries, so the neighbouring present-invalid entries kept PTE_CONT while the target entry became a guard marker. clear_refs_pte_range() then reached the marker through: ptep_test_and_clear_young() test_and_clear_young_ptes() contpte_test_and_clear_young_ptes() contpte_align_addr_ptep() __ptep_test_and_clear_young() The marker changed from old_pte=0x00000000000047c0 to new_pte=0x00000000000043c0 by clearing PTE_AF. For swap PTEs, bit 10 is part of the swap type field, bits 6-10: 0x47c0 is SWP_PTE_MARKER with offset 4, while 0x43c0 has type 15 and is decoded as an ordinary swap entry. Zap later warned in swap_put_entries_direct() with a bad swap entry. Present-invalid PTEs could retain PTE_CONT as software grouping state, but their single-PTE modification paths would then need to recognize and unfold those groups consistently. Since current helpers mostly use pte_valid_cont() for membership, avoid creating present-invalid transparent contpte groups in contpte_set_ptes(). They bring no hardware benefit while invalid, and eligible valid ranges can be grouped again when they are installed. The public set_ptes() wrapper already clears PTE_CONT before calling contpte_set_ptes(). Return invalid PTEs through __set_ptes() directly, and warn if a future direct caller unexpectedly passes an invalid PTE with PTE_CONT set. This is triggerable by a user process against its own address space. On systems running with panic_on_warn, the warning becomes a denial of service.

7 daysarm64/mm: move __check_safe_pte_update()Anshuman Khandual
Patch series "arm64/mm: Standardize printing for pgtable entries", v3. Standardize printing for pgtable entries using recently introduced generic helper ptval_bytes_to_hex_str() in core MM which automatically enables 128 bits entries when added later. But first move __check_safe_pte_update() outside <asm/pgtable.h> to avoid a cyclic dependency while accessing these afore mentioned core MM helpers defined in <linux/pgtable.h>. This replaces the original page table entry print standardisation proposal which was part of the D128 series [1]. This patch (of 2): The page table entry print helpers and related macros which are defined in <linux/pgtable.h> will not be accessible in platform <asm/pgtable.h> which is basically caused by cycling dependency. Move __check_safe_pte_update() inside arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c as a preparation for subsequent usage of the afore mentioned generic MM helpers. While here drop IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_VM), although wrap __check_safe_pte_update() inside #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_VM that preserves the current code optimization which is achieved via the static inline functions. This does not cause any functional change.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm 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. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-10-19-21-33' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (539 commits) mm: shmem: assign a lock class to the unused huge shrinklist mm: vmscan: put rotation-missed folios at the LRU tail mm: kmemleak: scan the struct page array in MAX_SCAN_SIZE batches mm: kmemleak: move the struct page scan into a helper mm/damon: document that a zero sample_interval is accepted mm/damon: fix typos in comments mm/damon/sysfs: propagate damon_call() error in turn_damon_on mm/damon/core: skip quota score setup when the quota is full mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: test the size charged for a filter-trimmed region mm/damon/core: charge only the part of a region the filter left mm: disallow raw PFN mappings of huge/shared zeropage selftests/mm: zap whole PTE tables in the khugepaged race harness selftests/mm: add memory-pressure threads to the khugepaged race harness selftests/mm: race the collapse of windows with holes selftests/mm: add khugepaged race harness selftests/mm: check that one khugepaged pass collapses one window selftests/mm: run every supported collapse order by default selftests/mm: cover a shared-source collapse write race selftests/mm: parameterize the mixed-source collapse case by source order selftests/mm: add order-parameterized khugepaged collapse cases ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas: "Here are the arm64 updates for 7.4. The more interesting bits are the removal of big-endian kernel support (already marked BROKEN for some time), preemptible this_cpu_*() operations and MPAM support for the firmware-backed (Fb) interface. CCA (Arm's confidential compute) is slowly trickling in with host RMI (Realm Management Interface) support and some refactoring, including a dedicated SMCCC bus to advertise firmware services. There are also the usual PMU updates for new hardware and a few fixes/cleanups. Core features: - Remove big-endian kernel support: CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN has depended on BROKEN for a while, so drop the remaining code (BE hypervisor object, BPF JIT, assembly/crypto/library routines, endianness helper macros, selftests) and force a little-endian build - Add preemptible this_cpu_*() operations (read/write, RMW, xchg, cmpxchg and cmpxchg128) that no longer need to disable preemption around the per-CPU address generation and access - Preparation patches for implementing CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PARALLEL on arm64 Memory management: - Treat faults taken by EFI runtime firmware as kernel faults - Clear PTE_WRITE for EFI_MEMORY_RO mappings (with hardware dirty state management enabled, this is not truly read-only) - Raise the default ARCH_MMAP_RND_BITS for 48-bit and 52-bit VA configurations (28/26/24 bits for 4K/16K/64K pages) - Implement clear_page[s]() using memset() - Enable BBML2 no-abort (a.k.a.

2026-10-13arm64/mm: Treat faults taken by EFI runtime firmware as kernel faultsArd Biesheuvel
When EFI runtime services are invoked from a preemptible kthread, the kthread runs with efi_mm installed via kthread_use_mm() and preemption enabled, so neither faulthandler_disabled() nor !mm applies in do_page_fault(). A permission fault taken by the firmware on one of its own (TTBR0) mappings then hits the 'access to user memory outside uaccess routines' check and oopses, without efi_runtime_fixup_exception() ever being consulted. efi_mm has no VMAs, so there is nothing for the mm to resolve. Send such faults to no_context directly, so that __do_kernel_fault() can recover from them as it does when the call is made with preemption disabled.

2026-10-08arm64: mte: pass the swap entry to mte_save_tags()Tal Zussman
arch_prepare_to_swap() derives a page from the folio only for mte_save_tags() to recompute the folio's swap entry from that page. Pass the entry in directly with folio_swap_entry(), matching mte_restore_tags(), and move the page_mte_tagged() check into the caller so we only compute the entry for tagged pages. __mte_invalidate_tags() loses its only user, so remove it and call mte_invalidate_tags() directly in the error path. This removes two calls to compound_head(). No functional change.

Commit 0c6378a71574 ("arch: introduce set_direct_map_valid_noflush()") added set_direct_map_valid_noflush() to allow updating the direct map for a physically contiguous range in execmem. As Brendan recently pointed out [1], this API is confusing because on arm64 it means that is sets VALID bit in ptes, while on other architectures it is an analog of set_direct_map_default_noflush(). The only user of set_direct_map_valid_noflush() was execmem's ROX cache freeing path and it was switched to utilize VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS for resetting permissions of the direct map alias. With the last user gone and with set_direct_map_{invalid,default}_noflush() accepting number of pages as a parameter, set_direct_map_valid_noflush() become a copy of set_memory_valid() on arm64 and a duplicate of set_direct_map_{invalid,default}_noflush() on other architecture, it is safe to remove set_direct_map_valid_noflush(). Also drop a stale comment in arm64::__kernel_map_pages() that Linus bothered to add when merging changes containing set_direct_map_valid_noflush() to his tree. This reverts commit 0c6378a71574daa6cd1534ad42a956e3262756c7.

2026-10-06set_memory: add number of pages parameter to set_direct_map APIsMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
Patch series "arch, mm/execmem: resolve confusion about set_direct_map_valid_noflush()", v3. Recent discussion about implementation of execmem's ROX caches on arm64 revealed a confusion about how set_direct_map_valid_noflush() implemented on different architectures. On arm64 it sets or clears the PTE_VALID bit marking a PTE as present or not present. On other architectures it's a range version of set_direct_map_invalid_noflush() and set_direct_map_default_noflush() Unlike arm64::set_direct_map_valid_noflush(), set_direct_map_default_noflush() not only marks PTE as present, but also sets its default protection mode. Other than that, initial design of execmem ROX caches didn't rely on restoration of large mappings that's now available on x86, but completely removed the memory allocated for the ROX cache from the direct map to ensure that large mappings are not split. This precluded usage of VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS for the ROX cache allocations and required execmem to implement manipulation of the direct map alias. Current implementation of ROX caches does not remove the direct map alias but simply calls set_memory_rox() that updates the permissions in both vmalloc address space and the direct map and relies on collapse_large_pages() in x86 CPA to keep large mappings. This allow using VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS for execmem ROX cache allocations with small adjustments to set_direct_map APIs and vmalloc::reset_perms() behaviour: adding number of pages parameter to set_direct_map APIs and making resetting of the direct map permissions in vmalloc VMAP_HUGE friendly. Implement these adjustments, make execmem always use VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS and revert set_direct_map_valid_noflush() changes. This patch (of 6): When set_direct_map APIs were introduced by the commit d253ca0c3865 ("x86/mm/cpa: Add set_direct_map_*() functions") the single page parameter made sense because the initial callers (vmalloc and hibernation) had sets of unsorted struct pages that required changes of their mappings in the direct map. Since there is an increasing demand for direct map manipulation and it is also desirable to be able to update larger physically contiguous mappings, for example an entire large folio, extend set_direct_map APIs to receive number of pages parameter. As there is still only a handful of callers, change the existing functions directly and update all the call sites rather than adding wrappers for single page case.

2026-10-02arm64: mm: Handle Granule Protection Faults (GPFs)Steven Price
If the host attempts to access granules that have been delegated to RMM (for use as an RMM object or Realm Data), these accesses will be caught and will trigger a Granule Protection Fault (GPF). A fault during a page walk signals a bug in the kernel and is handled by oopsing the kernel. A non-page walk fault could be caused by: * Userspace having access to a page which has been delegated. We don't allow mapping a delegated page (which may have Realm VM private data) to EL0. But if we do encounter this, trigger a SIGBUS to allow debugging * A kernel mode access is even more serious, except for the cases where : - Benign overreads e.g. load_unaligned_zeropad(), we should be able to fix this up. - A kdump kernel trying to access delegated page (donated by the primary kernel). We do not support this yet, but can be added in the later series. There is ongoing work to unmap the guest_memfd backed private pages from the linear map. We would additionally need to unmap the other delegated pages too. For now handle the GPF and only fixing up kernel mode accesses via kernel VA (which would cover both the legitimate cases above) Reviewed-by: Gavin Shan <gshan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Price <steven.price@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

Move the complete Realm Service Interface (RSI) implementation from arch/arm64 to drivers/firmware/arm_rmm. The RSI SMCCC definitions and command helpers are also moved to include/linux so they can be shared by architecture code and firmware or driver code.

2026-09-24arm64: mm: Fix the break-before-make flush range for erratum 2645198Andrea Parri
modify_prot_start_ptes() performs the break-before-make TLB invalidation required by erratum 2645198 with __flush_tlb_range(), whose third argument is the end address of the range. It passes nr * PAGE_SIZE instead of addr + nr * PAGE_SIZE, so __do_flush_tlb_range() computes the page count as (nr * PAGE_SIZE - addr) >> PAGE_SHIFT. For addr > nr * PAGE_SIZE that subtraction underflows, the page count exceeds the batching limit and the flush degenerates to flush_tlb_mm(), so a single-page mprotect broadcasts an ASID-wide invalidation and a full-range mmu notifier call. For addr <= nr * PAGE_SIZE only [addr, nr * PAGE_SIZE) is invalidated, and when the cleared batch starts below nr * PAGE_SIZE the tail is left in the TLB. The workaround then no longer covers the whole batch, and for addr == nr * PAGE_SIZE the flush is empty. On affected Cortex-A715 CPUs, this can corrupt ESR_ELx and FAR_ELx on the next instruction abort caused by a permission fault. Pass addr + nr * PAGE_SIZE as the end address.

2026-09-03arm64: mm: Fix the lockless page-table walk in show_pte()Karl Mehltretter
show_pte() walks page tables locklessly and can run with interrupts enabled. A concurrent teardown can free a table page while it is being walked. It can also clear a parent entry after show_pte() checked it; the regular pXd_offset() helpers then reread the cleared entry and can derive a bogus lower-level pointer and fault again. Use the lockless offset helpers with the saved parent entries, as gup_fast() does, and pass the saved PMD to pte_offset_map(). For task page tables, arm64 selects MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE. Disable local interrupts around the walk to hold off RCU-deferred table frees and block the tlb_remove_table_sync_one() IPI until the walk is finished. Place the IRQ guard after the header print. This does not make the output a consistent snapshot, but prevents the task page-table walk from dereferencing a released table page or deriving a pointer from a different parent value.

2026-08-24arm64: ptdump: Make note_page_flush() range awareWei-Lin Chang
note_page_flush() calls note_page() with addr == 0 and level == -1 to dump the last row of a ptdump. addr == 0 (1 << 64 wrapped around) renders a huge region with enormous size for address spaces with IA bits < 64. For example the stage-2 page tables and the EFI runtime page table. More importantly, the last region of the address space and everything after the address space up to 1 << 64 are merged into one row of output. If the last region within the address space is valid, it will appear to remain valid up to 1 << 64 with the same attributes. Currently only the EFI runtime ptdump is affected by this, but KVM will soon fix its stage-2 ptdump by using note_page_flush(). Here is an example of an EFI runtime ptdump (last row): 0x0000008000000000-0x0000000000000000 17179868672G PGD With this patch: 0x0000008000000000-0x0001000000000000 261632G PGD To fix this, cache the end address of a ptdump in ptdump_pg_state so note_page_flush() can call the final note_page() with the correct end address.

2026-08-07arm64: mm: Unmap kernel data/bss entirely from the linear mapArd Biesheuvel
The linear aliases of the kernel text and rodata are also mapped read-only in the linear map. Given that the contents of these regions are mostly identical to the version in the loadable image, mapping them read-only and leaving their contents visible is a reasonable hardening measure. Data and bss, however, are now also mapped read-only but the contents of these regions are more likely to contain data that we'd rather not leak. So let's unmap these entirely in the linear map when the kernel is running normally. When going into hibernation or waking up from it, these regions need to be mapped, so map the region initially, and toggle the valid bit so map/unmap the region as needed. Doing so is required because pages covering the kernel image are marked as PageReserved, and therefore disregarded for snapshotting by the hibernate logic unless they are mapped.

2026-08-06arm64: mm: fix accidental linear mapping of no-map reserved memoryliulhong617
When reserved-memory regions with the "no-map" property are not page-aligned, the kernel may accidentally map them into the linear mapping, contradicting the no-map semantics. The root cause is a mismatch between /proc/iomem's address boundaries and the actual page table mapping boundaries: 1. /proc/iomem derives its ranges from memblock via memblock_region_reserved_base_pfn/memblock_region_reserved_end_pfn, which perform PFN rounding so the displayed boundaries are page-aligned. This gives the impression that the no-map region occupies whole pages. 2. However, memblock_mark_nomap() splits memblock.memory regions at exact byte boundaries (memblock_isolate_range preserves raw DT base/size with no alignment). When for_each_mem_range iterates the non-NOMAP regions adjacent to a no-map region, it returns start/end values that are NOT page-aligned — they are the precise byte boundaries from the memblock split. 3. These sub-page-aligned values are passed to __create_pgd_mapping_locked(), which does: phys &= PAGE_MASK; addr = virt & PAGE_MASK; end = PAGE_ALIGN(virt + size); The downward rounding of phys via PAGE_MASK extends the mapped range backward into the adjacent no-map region, effectively including no-map memory in the linear mapping. For example, with 64K pages, reserved_region@A2000000 (base=0xA2000000, size=0x8000, no-map) causes for_each_mem_range to return start=0xA2008000 for the next mappable region. After phys &= PAGE_MASK, the actual mapping starts at 0xA2000000 — the entire no-map region is incorrectly mapped. Fix this by rounding the mappable range inward to PAGE_SIZE boundaries before passing it to __map_memblock: start is rounded UP and end is rounded DOWN. This ensures the mapped area never overlaps with adjacent no-map regions. The cost is at most one page of unmapped gap at each boundary, which is preferable to violating no-map semantics.

2026-08-06arm64: suspend: Initialize PMR on resumeVladimir Murzin
When we resume from cpu_suspend() context tracking, specially, ct_idle_exit() performs IRQ save/restore sequence. It doesn't cause any functional issues since we have masked all exceptions prior suspend and have not restored them. However, in case of pseudo-NMI PMR can be set by firmware to arbitrary value, thus IRQ save/restore routines manipulates this arbitrary value. Again, it doesn't cause any issues since PMR variant of IRQ save helper carries a __pmr_irqs_disabled_flags() guard. Going forward __pmr_irqs_disabled_flags() guard will be gone and we will call __pmr_local_irq_disable() unconditionally - that would cause warning in case CONFIG_ARM64_DEBUG_PRIORITY_MASKING is set. Initialize PMR to a value known to Linux on resume until the normal exception restore path restores the saved DAIF and PMR state.

2026-07-22arm64: make huge_ptep_get handled unaligned addressesDev Jain
huge_ptep_get() can be handed a virtual address pointing to the middle of a contpmd/contpte mapped hugetlb folio (examples of callers are pagemap_hugetlb_range, page_mapped_in_vma). The arm64 helper rewalks the pgtables in find_num_contig to answer whether the huge pte we have maps a contpmd or a contpte hugetlb folio, and returns CONT_PMDS or CONT_PTES, so that it can collect a/d bits over the contiguous ptes. We can falsely return CONT_PTES instead of CONT_PMDS if the addr is not aligned. On systems where CONT_PTES != CONT_PMDS (meaning page size is 16K), we could collect excess A/D bit state, meaning extra work for the kernel. Even worse, we may iterate beyond the PTE table and dereference a garbage ptep pointer to access physical memory we don't own. Since the ptep pointer is a linear map address, we may run off the end of the linear map or into a hole, dereference a VA not mapped into the kernel pgtables and cause kernel panic. Fix this by aligning the pmdp pointer down to a contpmd base before checking equality with the passed huge pte pointer, to correctly answer whether the huge pte is the base of a contpmd block.

prevent_memory_remove_notifier() advances pfn while scanning the requested range for early memory. When the loop completes, pfn is at or beyond end_pfn. Passing it to can_unmap_without_split() therefore checks a range after the one being offlined. Consequently, a valid request can be rejected based on the following range, while a request that would split a leaf mapping can be accepted if the shifted range can be unmapped without a split. This was observed with CXL DAX memory, where the final memory block was incorrectly allowed to be offlined. Pass arg->start_pfn into can_unmap_without_split() so it checks the requested range.

2026-06-30arm64: kexec_file: Add support for crashkernel CMA reservationJinjie Ruan
Commit 35c18f2933c5 ("Add a new optional ",cma" suffix to the crashkernel= command line option") and commit ab475510e042 ("kdump: implement reserve_crashkernel_cma") added CMA support for kdump crashkernel reservation. Crash kernel memory reservation wastes production resources if too large, risks kdump failure if too small, and faces allocation difficulties on fragmented systems due to contiguous block constraints. The new CMA-based crashkernel reservation scheme splits the "large fixed reservation" into a "small fixed region + large CMA dynamic region": the CMA memory is available to userspace during normal operation to avoid waste, and is reclaimed for kdump upon crash—saving memory while improving reliability. So extend crashkernel CMA reservation support to arm64. The following changes are made to enable CMA reservation: - Parse and obtain the CMA reservation size along with other crashkernel parameters. - Call reserve_crashkernel_cma() to allocate the CMA region for kdump. - Include the CMA-reserved ranges for kdump kernel to use. - Exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the crash kernel memory to prevent them from being exported through /proc/vmcore, which is already done in the crash core. Update kernel-parameters.txt to document CMA support for crashkernel on arm64 architecture.

2026-06-24arm64: mm: Defer read-only remap of data/bss linear aliasArd Biesheuvel
Since commit f2ba877402e5 ("arm64: mm: Map the kernel data/bss read-only in the linear map") the linear alias of the .data and .bss regions is remapped read-only early during the boot. (Note that a subsequent patch to unmap this region entirely was reverted just before the v7.2 merge window, and will be brought back in an improved form for the v7.3 cycle) Fuad reports that in some cases, the KVM init code may apply relocations to variables that reside in .data, and does so via the linear map. This means that remapping .data read-only beforehand is a bad idea, and results in an early boot crash. These variables in .data are only present when CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_DEBUG or CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_TRACING are enabled, which is why it was not spotted in testing. So move the remap to mark_rodata_ro(), which is a reasonable place to put this, and ensures that it happens much later during the boot. It also means that rodata=off is now taken into account, and so the linear alias will remain writable in that case.
