Pull more driver core fixes from Danilo Krummrich:
- Revert TAINT_FORCED_BIND, introduced to flag manual sysfs bind/unbind
operations associated with misleading fuzzing reports. It also taints
established workflows, including VFIO device passthrough; a more
targeted approach will be revisited after 7.4.
- Rate limit synthetic uevent failure messages to prevent log flooding
from repeated invalid writes to sysfs uevent files

Pull more block updates from Jens Axboe:
"Bigger than usual for an end-of-merge-window pull request, main reason
being that the MD side I had missed a pull on, and both NVMe and block
got a good pile of LLM driven fixes where some of them may as well
just go in now rather than wait a full cycle. This contains:
- NVMe fixes via Keith:
- nvme-tcp fallout from the parallel queue allocation: initialize
pf_cache_lock and the header digest before requests are set up,
and don't dereference a NULL queue->ctrl on reconnect
- nvme-fabrics queue mapping fixes: reset io_queues on reconnect,
limit each queue type to the online CPUs, and clear a poll map
with no poll queues
- nvme-tcp io_work priority inversion with send_mutex held
(Seiji), error recovery on read_sock failure and skipping TLS
control records while waiting for the ICResp (Martin B), TLS
handshake timeout validation, and an address attribute race
- nvme-rdma NULL metadata_sgl dereference with T10-PI
- nvme-pci early boot hang with the quirks parameter
- nvme-multipath ANA log bounds underflow, and an nvme-fc
discovery reference leak
- nvmet hardening: rdma inline SGL out-of-bounds write and short
connect requests, fc use-after-free in LS create connection and
teardown on admin queue failure, pci-epf transport error
reporting and SGL length checks, zns NUMD wrap, fc stale read
data, auth state and status fixes, ports list and qid_max
locking, rdma double puts and irq-safe locking, and a double
free on metadata SGL allocation failure
- nvmet fixes from Josef: big discard length truncation, NULL
derefs for PCI endpoint targets and debugfs host_traddr, stop
listening when a tcp port is removed, and don't BUG() in
nvme-loop when a scan runs beside a reset
- MD fixes via Yu Kuai:
- raid5 validation: reject too few disks, invalid reshape disks, a
per-device size below one chunk, and an inconsistent reshape
state from the superblock instead of BUG(), plus journal payload
size checks
- raid5 error path and lifetime fixes: extra_page leak and NULL
derefs in free_conf/setup_conf, draining released_stripes before
destroying the cache, RCU for the big_stripe_tree lookup, and
per-array io_unit slab names
- md core: reject v0.90 arrays with too many devices, validate
bblog_size, take reconfig_mutex when enabling PPL, fix the
mddev->private NULL deref when stopping an array under IO, and
don't hand out the array before mddev->kobj is added
- raid10 missing barrier wakeup, raid0 device count validation, a
bogus mddev_unlock() in lbs_store(), and shared helpers
- blk-mq fixes from Josef:
- don't trust the bio cookie in blk_mq_poll()
- keep tag sharing fair after a queue update
- don't bring back flags of a completed request from the timeout
handler
- honor a restarted timer
- initialize the dma state for P2P
- quiesce a queue joining a quiesced tag set
- set up and exit hctxs under tag_list_lock
- free the tag bitmaps in the SRCU callback
- blk-cgroup and friends from Josef:
- keep the old blkg while reassociating a bio
- free struct ioc after a grace period
- don't truncate v1 iops limits
- fix root io.stat on 32-bit
- don't free a blkg with its punt work queued
- flush iolatency enable_work after going offline
- pass dead group I/O counts on and make reset_stats reset them
- don't enter reclaim under rq_qos_mutex
- Other core fixes from Josef:
- a disk use-after-free in sync_bdevs()
- don't losing the status of a failed flush request
- 64-bit sector math for mac partitions
- apply the segment size to the integrity buffer
- blk-iocost: abort a weight transfer on invalid donation weights,
and publish hweights as one atomic value
- Fix a NULL deref and use-after-free in __blk_crypto_evict_key(),
reachable via dm-inlinecrypt
- Fix recursive i_rwsem locking in blkdev_write_iter(), from two
fixes for the same race landing in the window
- Advance the iterator after copy-in for SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV, fixing
an infinite loop in blk_rq_map_user_iov()
- Check the open mode for LOOP_SET_STATUS in the compat ioctl

messes with devices and drivers"
This reverts commit fcbfaffee51a452cc8efcbaa3b88ec4595678424.
Turns out that vfio is a crazy beast and people have been "relying" on
the bind/unbind debugging feature as a way to handle passing through
devices to guest instances. Because of this (https://xkcd.com/1172/),
let's revert the feature for now until we can figure out a more agreeable
way to handle this such that normal workflows do not taint the kernel.
Odds are something like what Uwe proposes at:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1790612298.git.u.kleine-koenig@baylibre.com/
will be the best way forward and will be revisited after for after 7.4.
The feature was originally intended to stem the flow of unnecessary
fuzzing reports of "broken" drivers where random devices were being
bound to random drivers and of course things were going wrong. The main
syzbot tool is now not doing this anymore, and hopefully no one else
starts it up again (but in this madness of LLMs these days, you can't be
sure.)
Thanks to everyone for telling me just how wrong I was to implement
this, I appreciated the feedback :)

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
- cgroup.kill did not kill a process whose thread group leader had
exited while other threads still ran, nor those threads once moved to
another cgroup, letting a process survive its container being killed
- A cgroup.procs write under favordynmods could migrate a newly forked
process before fork linked it to its cgroup, corrupting cgroup task
lists
- cpuset partition fixes for nested hierarchies: invalidation, revival,
shrinking and switches between root and isolated could leak isolated
CPUs, skip or miscompute the housekeeping check, or leave wrong
effective CPUs:
- A root partition can no longer be created under an isolated
parent or stay valid under one, as disabling it could leave no
housekeeping CPUs
- Enabling a partition failed when a grandchild held tasks,
although the parent had none of its own
- Separately, an allocation racing with a cpuset.mems update could
drop its mempolicy nodemask and land on the wrong node, and a
memoryless node in cpuset.mems triggered a spurious "movable
nodes only" warning
- Two no-functional-change cleanups of the effective CPU
computation

tls_handshake_timeout is writable but stored as a signed int. Multiplying
the value by MSEC_PER_SEC and HZ therefore uses signed arithmetic.
With HZ=1000, setting it to 2147484 overflows both multiplications. If
the handshake request is accepted and its completion remains pending,
schedule_timeout() reports a wrong timeout value with a stack dump and
returns zero. The handshake then fails immediately with -ETIMEDOUT,
while the handshake agent was given about 24.9 days. Negative values
such as -1 have the same kernel-side effect.
Store the parameter as an unsigned int and reject values that cannot be
represented both by tls_handshake_args::ta_timeout_ms and by a safe
jiffies delay. Take one snapshot so a concurrent parameter update cannot
give the handshake agent and completion wait different timeouts.
Document the accepted range for built-in use.
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() returns the remaining
jiffies as a long after a successful completion. Keep that result in a
long because an accepted timeout can exceed INT_MAX jiffies on 64-bit
systems.
Negative and oversized values now fail with -EINVAL. Keep zero valid,
preserving the existing immediate-timeout behavior.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Add "within" to filter logic
Add a way to trace events by what function they fall in.
echo 'within == "vfs_read" > events/sched/sched_switch/filter
Will only trigger sched_switch events that happen within the vfs_read
function. It uses a stacktrace at the event and checks if any entry
is within the specified function and if so, it prints the event.
- Remove a duplicate definition of ftrace_set_clr_event() from the
header
- Do not have ftrace_set_clr_event() modify its input buffer
Have the buffer passed into ftrace_set_clr_event() to be const char *
and not allow modifications to it that might cause side effects.
- Add kunit tests for ftrace_parse_event_string()
- Add filter argument to __ftrace_set_clr_event()
Make it possible to set a filter on an event at the same time it is
enabled.
- Add event filtering logic to the kernel command line
To allow filtering events on boot, allow filtering to be specified on
the kernel command line when enabling events.
- Rename "ring_buffer_size()" to "ring_buffer_capacity()"
"size" refers to how much is allocated whereas the actual return
value is the amount of available data in the ring buffer minus its
meta data.
- Rename "trace_array_entries" to "trace_array_capacity"
There's several functions that use "entries" and returns the amount
of data that that is usable. "entries" should be only for the number
of events, not the amount of data.
- Print the histogram "bucket" size as unsigned.
If a bucket size is LONG_MAX, then it shows up as a negative number.
- Show bucket size in output of histograms
The output of what the histogram is shown doesn't show the size of
the buckets when buckets are used. The output should be the same as
the input and since specifying buckets without a size is an invalid
command, the output to display what was entered should also show the
size.
- Fix stacktrace modifier output
Only show the stacktrace modifier when it was specified in creation.
- Unregister filed variable histograms when the command fails
If one histogram references a variable of another histogram it
registers that other histogram. But if the first histogram fails in
setup after it registered the other histogram it doesn't unregister
it. Have the first histogram add the reference to the other histogram
so the failure clean up will unregister the second histogram too.
- Fix 64-bit signed histogram fields on 32-bit kernels
A fix to convert char * to u64 with added casting also incorrectly
added an intermediate cast to convert a long value to u64 which ended
up truncating the upper 32 bits for 32-bit kernels. Remove the
intermediate typecast.
- Print signed histogram keys as signed
Histogram keys were being printed as unsigned and with signed keys it
was giving the wrong output.
- Use copy_from_user() and not __copy_from_user() in syscall tracing
The syscall tracing incorrectly was using __copy_from_user() which
could be an issue if the system trusts perf doing the trace.
- Take trace_types_lock when recording a new module in persistent
buffer
When a new module is loaded, the persistent ring buffer saves it in
its persistent memory. All the trace_arrays are iterated looking for
any persistent buffer to add the module to. But it did not hold the
trace_types_lock meaning a trace_array could be added or removed
while iterating the list.
- Only create tracepoint guest_halt_poll_ns when it is used
The tracepoint guest_halt_poll_ns is defined in the power management
code but it is only used when CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_HALTPOLL is
enabled. This wastes memory when that config isn't enabled so wrap
the tracepoint around that as well.
- Handle empty fields for events in trace_event_get_offsets()
The user events could have empty fields and this causes
trace_event_get_offsets() to crash as it expects events to always
have fields. Make the function handle events with no fields.
- Reject incomplete event filter expressions
If a filter has an incomplete expression (common_pid == 1111 || ), it

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

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

Since commit 23c85094fe18 ("proc/kcore: add vmcoreinfo note to /proc/
kcore") the kernel has exported the vmcoreinfo PT_NOTE on /proc/kcore
as well as /proc/vmcore.
LoongArch does not provide arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo(), so the arch-
specific values are missing from the vmcoreinfo PT_NOTE. The generic
exporter in kernel/vmcore_info.c already provides NUMBER(VMALLOC_START),
but tools like crash cannot derive VMALLOC_END, the module and vmemmap
ranges, VA_BITS, or the KASLR offset of a LoongArch dump.
Since commit 18210a104bb9 ("LoongArch: Expand module virtual address
space to 2GB") the vmalloc and module boundaries are no longer stable
across kernel versions either, so vmcoreinfo is the only reliable source
for them.
Provide this function in a separate file that is built at the same time
as its caller in kernel/vmcore_info.c, and add a LOONGARCH64 section to
Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/vmcoreinfo.rst.

The value of the _LPI "State Name" field is used as the description of
the given idle state (that is, the value of its "desc" attribute in
sysfs) which is not consistent with idle state descriptions used when
the idle state information comes from an ACPI _CST object.
To rectify that, use the _LPI "State Name" field value as the value of
the "name" sysfs attribute of a given idle state and use the MWAIT hint
value from the _LPI register address value to derive the value of its
"desc" sysfs attribute in analogy with the _CST case.

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
"Jeff Layton extended the netlink listener-set operation so that
a management daemon can register NFSD's programs with rpcbind
itself. This prevents an unresponsive rpcbind from stalling NFSD
administration for a minute at a time.
Bulk delegation recall now adjusts the number of delegations it
wants returned, based on memory pressure. The previous mechanism
was spec-conformant, but it requested all delegations to be
returned at once. Clients are free to return few or none in such
cases, but requesting smaller batches of delegations is more
neighborly.
In preparation for handling TLS KeyUpdate, the server's TCP
receive path has been reworked to handle control records. In the
process, the use of sock_recvmsg was replaced with ->read_sock,
which contends less with other holders of the socket lock.
NFSv2 XDR code is now generated by xdrgen, which mechanically
generates the encoders and decoders from the RPC language
specification for the protocol. Replacing hand-built XDR code
makes prototyping new protocol elements faster, reduces errors,
and improves memory safety. Replacement of XDR code for newer NFS
versions will continue in subsequent releases of NFSD.
The remaining bulk of changes in v7.4 is bug fixes, clean-ups, and
small optimizations. Sincere thanks to all contributors,
reviewers, testers, and bug reporters who participated in the v7.4
NFSD development cycle"

min_free_kbytes is recalculated on memory hotplug and on THP sysfs writes.
The new value comes from calculate_min_free_kbytes() or, while THP is
enabled, from set_recommended_min_free_kbytes(). A value written to the
vm.min_free_kbytes sysctl is replaced whenever the new value is higher, so
a lower value does not stick. This matters most when THP is enabled on
configurations with large pageblocks, where the new value can be excessive
[1].
For example, with default arm64 pageblock sizes, the THP recommendation
can reach 5.5 GiB per eligible zone with 64 KiB pages vs 22 MiB with 4 KiB
pages. This keeps a significant amount of memory free, reducing what
applications can use and triggering reclaim much earlier. Users can lower
vm.min_free_kbytes to avoid this, but the lower value only sticks until
the next recalculation.
Stop recalculating min_free_kbytes once a value has been written to the
sysctl. Systems where the sysctl is never written keep the current
behavior.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- pKVM state isolation: years after pKVM started being enabled
upstream, we finally get the basics in the form of state isolation.
The vcpu state is now off-limit for the host for protected VMs
- pKVM also grows a hypervisor-private memory allocator, allowing it
to deal with sub-page allocation, much like everywhere else
- pKVM also lands a trace_printk() equivalent, which hopefully will
make debugging a bit easier
- First shot at annotating portions of the KVM/arm64 code to be
extracted and built on s390. The real fun is yet to come
- Allow pre-faulting of stage-2 canonical mappings from userspace,
joining x86 and s390 in implementing this feature
- Add a reverse mapping infrastructure for shadow stage-2,
significantly improving performance when MMU notifiers kick in, and
avoiding full unmap of all shadow tables for this VM
- Next step of GICv5 enablement, adding support for the IRS block,
and providing both SPI and LPI support. This is the first point
where KVM/arm64 can support an SMP GICv5 guest
- As a preliminary to eventually enabling CCA, add a bunch of
infrastructure to KVM/arm64, splitting some of the basic operations
into individual backends (normal VM, normal pKVM VM, protected pKVM
VM). This allows CCA to later slot in without polluting the rest of
KVM with its firmware-driven nonsense
- Make ID registers immutable from the point where a vcpu is able to
run, even if it fails to run. This prevents KVM from sampling
untrusted values
- Restore some type checking to the EL2 object. KVM/arm64 originally
had some strong type checking between the kernel and the EL2
object, but lost it along the way when the private hypercall
interface was (somewhat pointlessly) converted to SMCCC. Type
checking is back, syscall style, and with added sparse goodies
- Expand the FFA support to FFA_NOTIFICATION_*, and add some
sanitisation of the protocol that pKVM relays to the "trusted"
runtime
- Make GICv3 RD assignment more robust to userspace nonsense
- Convert the remaining MMU fault handler backends to
kvm_s2_fault_vma_info and co., fixing a number of bugs in the
process
- Fix the SError/SEA selftests to be both more robust and less
braindead
- Fix a smattering of documentation bugs, some of them as a result of
our AI friends spitting out credible assertions based on
non-existing symbols
- The usual collection of low impact bug fixes (SMCCC, timers, PMU)
Loongarch:
- Add separate vmid support
- Simplify MSI interrupt injection
- Add crash hypercall support
- Allow to set pv_feature until vCPU run
- Enable HW page table walk automatically in selftests
s390:
- rework page allocation for secure guest variable storage
- Selftests and documentation improvements
- Replace get_zeroed_page with kzalloc
- Fix corner cases of floating interrupt injection
- Initial arm64 on s390 support
x86:
- Clean up the handling of vcpu->arch.xen.long_mode to be consistent
and correctly handle 32-bit/64-bit alignment, and various other bug
fixes have accumulated over the months since v1
- Grab KVM's SRCU "lock" in kvm_zap_gfn_range() to fix a recurring
bug where callers fail to do so
- Fix a variety of issues in the pre-fault code that are mostly
benign in the current code base, but will show up in big ways
if/when the pre-faulting logic is used to implementing
prefetch-on-fault for the TDP MMU
- For PREEMPT_RT=y kernels, drop the rmaps' individual bit-spinlock
and just walk the rmaps' with mmu_lock taken. On the write side
(which always uses mmu_lock), the bit-spinlock was assuming that
preemption was disabled, but that is *not* true when rwlocks become
sleepable
- Prepare a memory_fault exit (paired with -EFAULT) when KVM hits an
error PFN, e.g. so that userspace can resolve transient issues
instead of killing the guest. Convert a variety of WARN()+EFAULT
paths into KVM_BUG_ON()+EIO so that KVM can hard commit to filling
memory_fault on -EFAULTs that occur in the page fault path
- Fix a NX hugepage un-accounting bug where KVM would always uncharge
the shadow MMU, even when handling TDP MMU pages
- Mask off the address space ID when checking for illegal usage of
kvm_set_internal_memslot() to prevent false negatives on the sanity
check
- Explicitly zero reserved flags when delivering a SynIC message to
avoid leaking a byte of stack information to the guest
- Rework TDX's handling of the canonical MMU root level to not rely
on userspace to fill CPUID correctly, as doing so lets userspace
trivially trigger a KVM_BUG_ON()
- Reject KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE if userspace "restores" L1 with
EFER.LMA=1 && EFER.LME=0, which confuses KVM into trying to
configure an 64-bit MMU without PAE
- Ignore EFER.LMA (clear it from KVM's cached save state) if
EFER.LME=0 when preparing L2 state, to fix another way to confuse
KVM's MMU (and because real hardware also ignores EFER.LMA)
- Improve KVM's sanity checks for a misconfigured MMU to (hopefully)
detect all of the ways KVM can botch EFER.LMA vs. CR4.PAE
- Remove the "full" out-param from kvm_x86_ops.flush_tlb_gva() as the
param is only used to avoid what effectively amounts to a single
memory write
- Fix a mostly-benign bug where KVM can write through a guest's
read-only mapping due to not checking the error code when
expediting emulated MMIO page faults
- Honor the guest's view of the "EFER.LMSLE must be zero" defeature
so that userspace can provide migration compatibility between Rome
and Milan+
- Pend a KVM_REQ_EVENT request when an exception is morphed into a
nested VM-Exit, otherwise KVM can fail to actually deliver the
nested VM-Exit, e.g. when injecting a page fault
- Add support for PML on SVM
- Add support for virtualizing Bus Lock Detect on SVM, and fix a
number of DR6 bugs and warts along the way
- Fix a variety of warts in KVM's handling of guest TSC, kvmclock,
and timekeeping in general, as a (big) first step towards
addressing several longstanding problems with the kvmclock
implementation. Most notably, fix a precision issue where
get_kvmclock_ns() computed the clock from the *host* TSC without
applying guest TSC scaling, causing systemic drift from the values
the guest computes from its own TSC
- Rip out KVM's shadow timekeeping structures, now that ktime
snapshots are powerful enough to replace it
- Misc fixes and cleanups
x86 (AMD):
- Fix a benign-in-practice bug where KVM unintentionally sets a
non-zero error code when delivering exceptions to SEV-ES+ guests
- Force a new ASID in both VMCBs on pCPU migration to fix a bug where
KVM can run a VMCB with a stale ASID due to the tracking being
per-CPU, not per-VMCB
- Return INVALID_INPUT to the guest instead of exiting to userspace
with -EIO if KVM can't access "guest request" buffer, i.e. try to
keep the guest alive if the guest or userspace goofs
x86 (Intel):
- Enable Notify VM-Exits (now called Instruction Timeout in the SDM)
and Bus Lock VM-Exits for TDX guests when they're enabled by
userspace (KVM forgot to wire up the TDX Module knobs)
- Move all common (between VMX and TDX) APIs/helpers to
common.h/main.c, and change all namespace prefixes from "vmx" to
"vt"
- Fix a thankfully benign bug (due to other areas of KVM being
hardened) where userspace can bypass INIT_MEM_REGION's address wrap
check by providing a nr_pages that will overflow a u64 when
converted to bytes, and fix an also- benign off-by-one bug in the
check (inclusive vs. exclusive)
- Set the vmcs.GUEST_ACTIVITY_STATE back to ACTIVE when userspace
sets KVM's mp_state to anything other than HALTED, e.g. so that a
vCPU doesn't get stuck in HLT if userspace emulates RESET
guest_memfd:
- Take the invalidate lock when unbinding a dying file to fix a race
with kvm_gmem_invalidate_end() that results in KVM leaving the MMU
invalidation count elevated. Not taking the lock in the first place
was pure misguided paranoid
- When binding a memslot, purge the bindings if storing the new
memslot fails, as Xarray's "store range" API can subtly fail
partway through
- Establish memslot<=>guest_memfd bindings *after* the memslot is
ready, as the memslot becomes reachable the instant the binding is
installed
- Don't grab a page refcount when reloading an SNP VMSA and stop
returning a "struct page" from guest_memfd's PFN lookup altogether,
to ensure that KVM doesn't hold any unnecessary refcounts (the
lifetime of the page is ensured by MMU notifiers and similar
hooks). Preventing unnecessary refcounts greatly simplifies
supporting in-place SHARED=>PRIVATE conversions
- Add support for in-place PRIVATE<=>SHARED conversion, i.e. allow a
single guest_memfd instance to be used for both PRIVATE and SHARED
variations of CoCo guests' memory (though not at the same time).
This eliminates the need to double allocate guest memory for TDX
and SNP, and is basically a hard requirement for pKVM, which relies
on being able to preserve memory contents on conversions
- Hack-a-fix a deadlock bug in ->error_remove_folio() by returning
-EBUSY if the filemap invalidate lock is contended. Punt on a
proper fix for the moment, as a proper fix likely involves
reworking truncate_error_folio()
- Add a pile of selftests for in-place conversions
- Misc guest_memfd cleanups
Generic:
- Move some configuration items to preprocessor symbols, to help with
arm-on-s390's need to compile the same code twice with different
values
- Allow KVM implementations to choose alternative device names, also
for s390's support of ARM virtualmachines
- Switch the KVM-VFIO interface and external consumers over to
standard file-based reference counting, eliminating all external
KVM symbol exports
Selftests:
- Rework KVM selftest's handling of memory regions all so that PPC
can force its page table allocations to be naturally aligned
- PPC support
- Fix emulation of VMPTRST and VMPTRLD when eVMCS is in-use to match
real Hyper-V's behavior
- Saturate L2's TSC frequency if stacking L1 and L2 scaling
multipliers exceeds what hardware supports, as attempting to run L2
with an illegal multiplier will either cause VM-Entry to fail (VMX)
or trigger a #GP when writing MSR_AMD64_TSC_RATIO (SVM). The #GP is
thankfully benign in the grand scheme as even "unsafe" WRMSRs have
exception fixup
- Rework KVM selftest's handling of memory regions so that PPC can
force its page table allocations to be naturally aligned
- Clean up selftest's VMX instruction helpers, and drop an absurd
number of completely useless return values, e.g. functions that
unconditionally return %true and then have every caller assert
success
- Add selftests support for Zhaoxin CPUs
- Overhaul the TSC scaling test to add a regression test for the
saturation behavior, and to increase its coverage in general
- Fix selftests usage various NUMA syscalls to account for an
undocumented, but known since 2007, off-by-one kernel bug. Add
helpers to try and avoid re-introducing the same flaws in the
future
- Automatically run xAPIC IPI migration test (between NUMA nodes)
when possible, as the entire point of the test is verify KVM's
handling of page migration of the APIC backing page

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

- 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

Pu Lehui is now co-maintainer of riscv BPF JITs (Pu Lehui, Chen
Pei, Feng Jiang)

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)

on ARC, and define arch_cmpxchg_local() on arc, hexagon and
openrisc (Sasha Levin)

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.

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

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- A write to cgroup.subtree_control or cgroup.type could hang in D
state for as long as a task pinning a dying controller took to exit,
as syzbot reported. The wait is now interruptible.
- cpuset: the deadline bandwidth check ran on cpusets that weren't
valid partition roots, failing cpuset writes with -EBUSY while
deadline tasks existed. The CPU count the fair class takes from
cpuset assumed a shared hierarchy that cgroup1 may not have.
- Finding a cgroup's effective controller state no longer walks up the
hierarchy, for per-I/O users such as nvmet. io.stat reads of cgroups
without block devices skip the stat flush.
- cpuset v1-only code moved to the v1 file and the exclusive flag
dropped from v2, with documentation corrections for partition roots
and boot-isolated CPUs.
- Dead cgroups fail writes with -ENODEV consistently, plus small
cleanups.
- Selftest fixes, most visibly for tests that skipped on machines with
many mounts, and a new pids.events notification test.

Pull IPE updates from Fan Wu:
- Fix an extra empty audit record on enforcement changes
ipe_audit_enforce() started an audit buffer but logged the state
change with audit_log(), which emits its own record. Ending the
unused buffer produced an additional empty AUDIT_MAC_STATUS record
every time the enforcement state was changed.
- Keep the name and token tables in sync with their enums
The audit name tables now use designated initializers, so each name
stays bound to its enum value, and static assertions on the policy
parser token tables break the build if an enum value is added without
a matching token.

ownership, with no functional changes

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time, the most visible part are the ACPI CPPC updates from
Christian Loehle, including CPPC cpufreq driver changes, even though
updates of cpufreq drivers proper are still the largest topic group.
However, the updates of cpufreq drivers depend on the ACPI CPPC
updates, so they should really be counted together and that is well
over 1/2 of the total commit count.
Interestingly enough, almost all of the updates included here are
fixes or cleanups, with some new feature support in the amd-pstate
cpufreq driver and IPQ9650 support in the qcom-nvmem cpufreq driver.
The runtime PM documentation improvements from Brian Norris can also
be mostly regarded as fixes, but a new kunit test goes along with
them.
Specifics:
- Fix multiple issues related to input validation, synchronization,
access safety, memory layout and register field validation, and
error handling in the ACPI CPPC library (Christian Loehle and Sumit
Gupta)
- Select the frequency-invariance callback per CPU in the CPPC
cpufreq driver and create the FIE worker before enabling PCC
callbacks in it to avoid queueing work through a missing worker and
dereferencing a NULL pointer (Christian Loehle)
- Update the CPPC cpufreq driver entry in MAINTAINERS and add a new
entry for the ACPI CPPC library (Christian Loehle)
- Minor fixes in various cpufreq drivers (Alexander Koskovich, Daniel
Schwierzeck, Frank Zhang, Haotian Zhang, Kathiravan Thirumoorthy,
Sumeet Pawnikar, and Xueqin Luo)
- Fix wrong behaviors on multi-node servers in the Loongson cpufreq
driver (Huacai Chen)
- Reject NULL from cpufreq_cpu_get() in the Rust code (Mehmet
Koseoglu)
- Add suspend OPP to mediatek cpufreq driver and DT (Ryan Brue)
- Fixups for a few bugs identified by Sashiko in the amd-pstate
cpufreq driver (Mario Limoncielloi, Wentao Guan)
- Initial support for maximum frequency capacity handling on Zen6
client in amd-pstate (Mario Limonciello)
- Fix for amd-pstate-ut with 'Requested CPU Min frequency' BIOS
option (K Prateek Nayak)
- New Zen6 tuning values for EPP in amd-pstate (Mario Limonciello,
Vishal Badole)
- amd-pstate documentation fix (Karl Mehltretter)
- Restrict deferred downscaling to low load for shared policies in
the conservative cpufreq governor to avoid undesirable CPU
frequency reduction in some cases (Shengming Hu)
- Serialize sugov_start() against rate limit updates in the schedutil
cpufreq governor to avoid using a stale rate limit value (Hui Su)
- Prevent cpuidle governors menu and teo from returning idle state 0
after it has been disabled (Xueqin Luo)
- Replace min_t() with the better alternatives in the intel_idle
driver and make it use 2-argument strscpy() (Andy Shevchenko)
- Fix two repeated phrase instances in cpuidle (Hemanth Selam,
Syazwina Fazrul)
- Add rugged Panther Lake support to the intel_rapl power capping
driver and make it use %pe for printing error pointers (Srinivas
Pandruvada and Sumeet Pawnikar)
- Update and improve runtime PM documentation and add a kunit test
for supplier idle/suspend (Brian Norris)
- Add a pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() call to pm_runtime_reinit()
to ensure autosuspend disabling on driver teardown (Joshua Crofts)
- Ignore page-zero RAM in E820 checksum during hibernation on x86 to
avoid rejecting images created after kexec() (Matthias Goergens)
- Add resume event mapping for PMSG_POWEROFF to the PM core to allow
it to carry out device shutdown in the future (Mario Limonciello)
- Add DPM watchdog to prepare/late/early/noirq/complete phases of
device suspend and resume (Mayank Rungta)
- Update swsusp.txt references to swsusp.rst in hibernation
documentation (Li Jun)
- Fix use-after-free of perf domain in netlink doit handlers for
energy models (Fan Wu)
- Add synchronize_rcu() back to cpu_pm_unregister_notifier() after it
was removed inadvertently in previous development cycles to avoid
use-after-free (Bradley Morgan)
- Unregister CPU PM notifier outside the timer lock in the
timer-ti-dm clocksource driver (Bradley Morgan)
- Fix typo "sucessfully" in a comment in pm_clk_add_clk() kerneldoc
comment and typo "hierachy" in a comment in pm-graph (Hemanth
Selam)
- Fix the return value in dev_pm_opp_get_of_node() kernel-doc (Karl
Mehltretter)"

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:
"Execution contexts and call_rcu() and call_srcu():
- Make call_rcu() and call_srcu invocable from NMI handlers and while
holding scheduler locks (using irq-work handlers)
- Add rcutorture and BPF tests calling these functions from these
contexts
- Disable rcutorture overload testing for RCU readers that are
"fragile", that is, that do not either disable preemption or have
some form of RCU priority boosting
SRCU updates:
- Add an atomic SRCU where readers run with preemption disabled and
grace periods can be invoked from atomic contexts. David Woodhouse
has a patch series exploiting this for GPC
- Add torture and lockdep tests for atomic SRCU
- Add numerous optimizations for atomic SRCU based on the fact that
it does not have callbacks, for example, eliminating any transition
to "big" srcu_struct structures even on systems that configure
these to happen at initialization time
Additional torture-test updates:
- Fix a divide-by-zero bug in forward-progress testing
- Synchronously wait for all IRQ-queued callbacks to complete
- Allow alternative "ssh" commands to be specified for use by
kvm-remote.sh
- Fix kvm-again.sh re-run failure on PowerPC
- Add additional lockdep testing for atomic SRCU
- Fix error double-counting in srcu_lockdep.sh
- Add atomic SRCU cross-CPU IRQ context mismatch testing, with the
- trick being that the atomic SRCU readers context must be at least
as strict as that of the atomic SRCU grace-period wait. So for
example, if the readers have IRQs disabled, so must the
grace-period wait
Miscellaneous updates:
- Update stallwarn.rst documentation for the re-implementation of RCU
Tasks Trace in terms of SRCU
- Fix the lazy-callback shrink scanner budget computation so that it
honors the reclaim budget
- Avoid panicking on RCU CPU stalls that end before the warning can
be printed
- Add "running" and "boosted" indications to the RCU task stall
warning output
- People have been (incorrectly) relying on rcu_barrier() to wait for
kfree_rcu() callbacks and processing. But it turns out to be easier
to fix rcu_barrier() to meet their expectations than to fix their
code to live within the earlier rcu_barrier() specification. So
rcu_barrier() now waits on kfree_rcu() callbacks and processing
- Disable RCU Tasks console output that track when this RCU flavor
switches between per-CPU and global callback queuing. New use cases
appeared that generated enough console traffic to cause trouble,
and no one seemed to care about these messages. For those needing
those messages, there is a new rcupdate.rcu_task_collapse_debug
kernel boot parameter
- Fix __rcu pointer attribute handling to eliminate false positives

With Linux 7.4 the "private" memory attribute was moved from the VM
to the individual guest_memfd file descriptor. The old semantics are
available for backwards compatibility via CONFIG_KVM_VM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES.
However, this ties support for VM memory attributes entirely to
a backwards compatibility symbol, which is a problem when adding
VM memory attributes other than PRIVATE. Thus, make
CONFIG_KVM_VM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES the equivalent of the old
CONFIG_KVM_GENERIC_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, and use a more descriptive name
for the private memory attribute. Do this now, instead of waiting
for more attributes to come, before distros start adjusting
their build configuration.

Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:
- Add LSM hooks, object blobs, and audit records for namespaces
Add the necessary bits to enable LSMs to enforce access controls on
the management of various kernel namespaces. While this pull request
does not contain any in-tree users of these hooks, the Landlock pull
request for Linux v7.4 will include Landlock support and the next
merge window will likely include SELinux support as well. Considering
the development behind these hooks, I expect that BPF LSM developers
will also be making use of the namespace hooks, if they haven't
already.
- Update the inode LSM hooks to include mount idmaps
This allows LSMs to incorporate the mount ID mapping into their
access control decisions. While there are no current in-tree users of
this, it was requested by those developing BPF LSM programs and this
pull request includes a BPF LSM selftest.
- Preserve the full 32-bit ioctl command in LSM audit records
Previously only the low 16 bits were logged, ignoring the direction
and size information in the upper 16 bits. The pull request also
includes a Landlock based selftest to verify the full 32-bit ioctl
value.
- Ensure we don't call security_backing_file_free() multiple times
Thankfully we don't have a problem with the current code base, but we
want to fix this behavior now before it becomes a problem.
- Clarify that only the current task may access current->cred
The current code is a bit misleading around safely accessing the cred
field in a task struct. Through comment and code corrections, this
pull request clarifies that only the task itself may access its cred
field.
- Add SLAB_NO_MERGE to the credential object cache
Harden the credential cache by ensuring credential objects live on
dedicated slab pages.

- Update the docs for the current behavior of /sys/kernel/security/lsm

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. BBML3) for the NVIDIA Rigel CPU
Perf and PMU:
- Support for HiSilicon's ITS PMU
- Add support for some new events: INST_SIMD_ALU_VEC for Apple PMUs
and a cycle counter for the latest version of HiSilicon's MN PMU
hardware
- A bunch of fixes to the CXL PMU driver to address pre-existing
issues from Sashiko
- Fix generation of PERF_RECORD_ITRACE_START records for SPE and ETM
drivers
- Reduce excessive stack consumption in the Marvell DDR PMU driver
- Minor driver updates and cleanups all over
Arm Confidential Compute Architecture (CCA):
- Add an Arm SMCCC bus for firmware services discovered through SMCCC
and move the TRNG and CCA guest (TSM provider) drivers onto it,
removing the dummy CCA platform device and adding a sysfs ABI for
Realm guests
- Move the Realm Service Interface (RSI) code out of arch/arm64/ into
drivers/firmware/arm_rmm/
- Add the host side of the Realm Management Interface (RMI): detect,
configure and activate the RMM, add SRO support and wrappers for
the Realm RMI commands
- Block hibernation (new arch hook in the PM core) and kexec while
the RMM is active. To be revisited in the future with proper
support for deactivation
- Handle Granule Protection Faults (GPFs) taken by the host, caused
by accesses to memory delegated to the RMM. In a future patch, the
exception table lookup will be limited to is_kdump_kernel() cases
MPAM (Memory Partitioning And Monitoring):
- Add support for the MPAM firmware-backed (Fb) interface, allowing
MSC accesses to be mediated by firmware
- Fix a list of theoretical issues with the driver (MSC access error
propagation, MBWU monitor save/restore and locking, resctrl class
handling, error interrupt restore, maximum number of PARTIDs)
- Add the mailing list and a missing file to the MAINTAINERS entry
- Document when to set arm64.nompam
Errata and CPU features:
- Add the NXP i.MX8QM/8QP workaround for the Cortex-A53 cache
coherency issue (ERR050104), using a new ARM64_CPUCAP_SOC_ERRATUM
capability type for SoC-level errata
Miscellaneous:
- Mask debug exceptions (DAIF) around the hardware breakpoint
register manipulations when called from generic kernel code
- Don't zero the SVE state buffer when the SVE state is live
- Return -EPERM instead of -EBUSY from the GCS prctl() locking
failures (matching x86), with the selftest updated. Slight ABI
change but no software deployment yet
- kselftest: fix unsound MTE fault skipping by introducing MTE-safe
memory accessors, avoid copying each signal test binary more than
once
- Update sysreg definitions (fix three enum values and two field
names, mark architecturally dropped fields as RES0) and remove the
TME transaction state check from the BRBE driver
- Fix the description of ARM64_HAS_LPA2 and remove a redundant
ID_AA64MMFR0 define"

Document the two new Landlock permission categories, introduced with ABI
12, in the userspace API guide, admin guide, trace-event guide, UAPI
comments, and kernel security documentation.
The kernel security documentation generalizes the existing per-object
access-rights framing into three restriction models (handled_access_*,
handled_permissions, scoped) and states criteria for choosing among
them, so future permission or scope additions have a documented place to
land.

Pull binfmt updates from Christian Brauner:
"This only lets punctuation delimit a binfmt_misc register string.
Arbitrary delimiters never made sense and nothing uses them. Every new
flag shrank the set of possible delimiters and made extensions more
hazardous than they need to be. Letters, digits, whitespace, control
characters, bytes above 0x7f and the backslash now get EINVAL.
Everything deployed uses ':' anyway. This extends the fix that
rejected a flag character as the delimiter.
Selftests and documentation are included"

Although it is not typical for real users to create a complicated nested
partition hierarchy, it is currently allowed to create nested root and
isolated partitions. In addition, disabling or invalidating a partition
should always be allowed especially when the cpuset is being deleted.
With a nested root and isolated partition hierarchy, it is possible
that all active housekeeping CPUs can be exhausted when disabling or
invalidating a root partition and returning its CPUs to the isolated
parent.
One way to avoid this problem is to disallow the creation of a root
partition under an isolated parent. It is indeed a new limitation imposed
on the existing cpuset partition functionality. However an isolated
partition is usually a left node where scheduling and some other kernel
noises are disabled. It doesn't make much sense to create a child root
partition under an isolated parent and remove some CPUs from the set
of isolated CPUs again. Creation of a child isolated partition under a
root or isolated parent is still allowed.
If a partition with child root partitions is converted to isolated,
the child root partitions will be invalidated.
The cgroup-v2 documentation is also updated to reflect this new
limitation. New test cases are added to test_cpuset_prs.sh to verify
this new behavior. Some existing test cases are also updated accordingly.
