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since been superseded by the newer memory-control interfaces; hauling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.

Pull alpha floating point emulation fix from Matt Turner:
"Make the FP emulation determine tininess after rounding, as the
hardware does.
soft-fp always determined it before rounding, so an operation that
trapped for software completion could report an underflow the same
operation would not report when it did not trap. glibc's math
testsuite catches the disagreement.
This adds _FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING to the shared soft-fp code in
include/math-emu/, as glibc's copy already has, and sets it only for
alpha. It defaults to zero, so powerpc, sh and sparc are unchanged.
This is the last patch of a three-patch series; the first two were
merged for v7.3"
* tag 'alpha-fixes-v7.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mattst88/alpha:
alpha: determine tininess after rounding in the FP emulation
|
|
IEEE 754 lets an architecture determine tininess of a floating-point
result either before or after rounding, but requires the same choice for
every operation. Alpha determines it after rounding, and stdlib's
tst-tininess confirms the hardware does so for the results it produces
itself.
The soft-fp emulation has no notion of the distinction and always
determines tininess before rounding, so a result that the hardware would
not consider tiny is reported as underflowing whenever the instruction
happens to trap for software completion. The two paths then disagree on
the same machine. A multiply of the largest subnormal double by
1 + 2^-52 rounds up to the smallest normal and raises no underflow when
the operands are normal, but raises it when an operand is subnormal and
the instruction traps:
glibc math testsuite, test-float32x-float64-mul:
Failure: mul_double (0x3.ffffffffffffcp-1024, 0x1.0000000000001p+0):
Exception "Underflow" set
Add _FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING, as glibc's copy of soft-fp has, and set
it for alpha. It determines tininess by rounding a copy of the result as
if the exponent range were unbounded, which is what the definition asks
for. A plain check of whether the rounded result came out normal is not
equivalent: it differs for values that are still tiny once rounded with
an unbounded exponent range but reach the smallest normal on the coarser
subnormal grid. That plain check is what the hardware itself does (it
decides tininess from the delivered result), and it is why a divide such
as -0x4p-128 / 0x1.000002p+0 in FE_DOWNWARD delivers -0x1p-126 and raises
nothing although the result is tiny after rounding. Such cases do not
trap, so the emulation never sees them; where it does get control, it
follows the definition rather than reproducing that deviation, which is
what glibc's soft-fp does as well.
The macro defaults to zero, so powerpc, sh and sparc keep determining
tininess before rounding as they do now.

Decode PCI and ECC transactions separately, honor invalid transaction
information, and select Pchip errors using the logout summary. Report
master aborts without importing Titan-specific dismissal policy.
Delegate processor vectors to the bounded EV6 decoder.
On system vectors 660/620, capture live PERROR and MISC before
acknowledging their defined W1C bits and report live status absent from
the saved frame. Leave live chipset registers alone on CPU and
environmental vectors: HRM 10.2.5.6 warns that PERROR can have INV set
before the error reaches DRIR. Consuming that state from a CPU vector
could lose the transaction and its pending system-error notification.
Leave PERRMASK as configured by firmware. HRM 10.2.5.7 says a cleared
mask bit prevents the corresponding PERROR bit from being set, including
by PERRSET. Table 10-43 gives a reset value of zero, so this reporting
depends on firmware enabling the errors; changing masks does not
establish that previously latched state is cleared. Table 10-42 marks
PERROR bit 9 reserved (MBZ/RAZ); remove the obsolete RTO definition and
reserve its bitfield.
Use the system vector and frame bounds without restricting the reason
code to the ES40 values. Preserve invalid frames and unknown environmental
layouts in bounded raw dumps. Print CPU registers for uncorrectable system
errors, including the PC needed to diagnose NXM. Gate correctable system
register dumps on CONFIG_VERBOSE_MCHECK and alpha_verbose_mcheck while
retaining their error decode.
Keep transaction information unavailable whenever SERR is set, as
required by HRM 8.8.2.6. Table 10-42 selects ECC fields for CRE/UECC.
The first error freezes PERROR and only LOST can be set afterwards, so
mixed error bits were detected together.
The expected-probe path has no active Tsunami writer. Reporting and
acknowledgment do not establish recovery; panic policy remains separate.

Context switch and tracepoint events have no trap frame, so perf builds
one with perf_fetch_caller_regs(). Alpha does not define
perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs(), which leaves that pt_regs zeroed, and
these samples report pc as 0.
Record the caller's address as pc. The zero ps already marks the frame
as kernel mode, and pt_regs has nowhere to keep sp, so pc is all that
can be filled in.
perf_fetch_caller_regs() gets that address from CALLER_ADDR0, which
alpha defines as 0 when CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is disabled. Finding the
level zero return address does not need a frame pointer, so make
alpha_ftrace_return_address0() available in both configurations. Only
ftrace_return_address(n) still depends on frame pointers.

PALcode keeps the user stack pointer in the PCB, not the trap frame, so
pt_regs->usp is only valid where entry code stores it: entSys,
do_entArith() and do_entIF(). Interrupts, page faults and unaligned
traps leave it stale, and ptrace and /proc/<pid>/syscall read it
through user_stack_pointer().
A user-mode pt_regs is at the top of its task's stack, so find the
thread_info from it and use rdusp() for current or pcb.usp otherwise,
as KSTK_ESP() and the regset code already do.

flush_tlb_mm(), flush_tlb_page() and flush_icache_user_page() skip the
shootdown IPI when mm_users <= 1, on the assumption that no other CPU can
be running the mm. A task that borrows an mm through kthread_use_mm()
takes mmgrab() rather than mmget(), so it never appears in mm_users, and
kthread_use_mm() may be handed an mm that is already the caller's
active_mm and loaded on that CPU. Such a CPU was not only left without
an IPI, its mm->context[cpu] was cleared from under it.
mm->context[cpu] is already the record of which CPUs hold an ASN for the
mm. Test it rather than clearing it: take the shortcut only when no
other CPU has one, and otherwise fall through to the IPI, which
invalidates those CPUs properly. A CPU that merely ran the mm in the
past also holds a context and now costs an IPI, which errs in the safe
direction.
Change ipi_flush_tlb_mm(), ipi_flush_icache_page() and the migration
callback ipi_flush_mm_and_page() to test current->mm, like
ipi_flush_tlb_page(). A CPU that only retains the mm lazily then clears
its own slot through flush_tlb_other(), rather than publishing a new ASN
on every IPI or migration rendezvous. The migration callback still does
its per-VA tbi() afterwards. Returning to the mm allocates a fresh ASN
through ev5_switch_mm(), or through the direct-load path when
kthread_use_mm() switches current's mm.
Once these historical slots are gone, the shortcut is available again
if mm_users remains at most one and no other CPU has taken or kept a
context. An explicit kthread_use_mm() borrower has current->mm set and
still receives the invalidate it needs.
The caller-side tests in flush_tlb_mm() and flush_icache_user_page()
remain current->active_mm. A kernel thread that flushes its lazily held
mm can therefore publish its own context slot. Those branches also
perform the shortcut check, which excludes the calling CPU's slot, so
leave them unchanged. This is distinct from a remote lazy CPU keeping
its slot populated through repeated callbacks.
Together with the preceding patch, dropping these clearing loops leaves
every runtime write to mm->context[] targeting the writing CPU's own slot,
so the array becomes a lockless publication of which CPUs may be using the
mm, with a single writer per slot. Mark the two stores that are now
observed from other CPUs; flush_tlb_other() already uses WRITE_ONCE().
The uniprocessor flush_icache_user_page() is left alone, as nothing reads
another CPU's slot there, and init_new_context() runs before the mm is
shared.
Order the slot reads after the page-table changes with smp_mb(). On the
publishing CPU, the store in ev5_switch_mm() precedes the mb() in Alpha's
arch_spin_unlock(), when finish_lock_switch() drops the rq lock. This
relies on Alpha's unlock implementation, not a generic scheduler promise
of a full barrier on unlock; document that reliance at the store. Also
issue smp_mb() after publishing in __load_new_mm_context(), before loading
and using the mm.
This covers every caller, including check_mmu_context(), which can
publish a replacement after finish_lock_switch() has already run.
This requires the preceding removal of remote slot clearing from
migrate_flush_tlb_page(). It also requires the stale-TLB series to set
need_new_asn on both the reused and newly allocated ASN paths. Otherwise
an IPI between finish_lock_switch() and check_mmu_context() can zero a
new slot while asn_lock is set, and the task can return to user space
with a live ASN that the shortcut cannot see.

The uniprocessor flush_tlb_page() in asm/tlbflush.h has the same wrong
test as the SMP one: a targeted tbi() is only guaranteed to invalidate
the intended translations when the target mm's context is loaded, but
the gate is current->active_mm, which a lazily borrowed mm also
satisfies.
Test current->mm instead. The else branch it falls to already exists
here, so unlike the SMP side this is the whole fix.
arch/alpha/kernel/smp.c is not built with CONFIG_SMP=n, so this is how
the same defect reaches a uniprocessor, where the flusher kworker
necessarily shares the only CPU with the writer.

check_mmu_context() clears asn_lock and acts on need_new_asn, but it
runs only as the tail of switch_to(), after alpha_switch_to() returns.
A newly forked user task never gets there: its first context switch
resumes at ret_from_fork and reaches schedule_tail() without returning
to the code following alpha_switch_to().
asn_lock is left set on that CPU, so the new user task can run with
interrupts enabled while shootdown IPIs keep taking the deferred path.
The handshake meant to complete those invalidations never runs.
New kernel threads also reach schedule_tail(), but context_switch()
does not call switch_mm() for a task without an mm. They therefore do
not set asn_lock in the first place and are not affected by this bug.
Move check_mmu_context() to finish_arch_post_lock_switch(), which is
called by finish_task_switch() for both existing and newly created tasks.
Drop the now redundant call from switch_to().
The hook runs after finish_lock_switch() releases the rq lock and enables
interrupts. An IPI arriving before asn_lock is cleared retires the slot
through flush_tlb_other(); an IPI arriving afterwards can flush directly,
since PAL_swpctx has already installed the incoming context.
Set need_new_asn whether ev5_switch_mm() reuses or allocates an ASN. An
IPI in that interval can zero either slot. Without this, the allocated
case can return to user space with a live ASN but a zero context slot,
which a later context-based shootdown shortcut could mistake for an
inactive CPU. check_mmu_context() reloads only when the slot is zero.
Call the hook unconditionally. Alpha selects ARCH_NO_PREEMPT, and neither
kthread_use_mm() nor sched_force_init_mm() sleeps between the direct
switch and this hook. RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD can enable PREEMPT_COUNT,
but cannot make those callers migrate there. Testing preemptible() would
only leave asn_lock set in that configuration.
This requires the preceding direct-switch fix, "alpha: load the MMU
context when switch_mm() switches the current task". It installs the
borrowed context before kthread_use_mm() reaches this hook, so clearing
asn_lock cannot expose a targeted invalidate against the wrong context.

ev5_switch_mm() only prepares the incoming PCB. The context is installed
by PAL_swpctx, which alpha_switch_to() issues against that PCB on the way
out of the scheduler.
Direct callers reach switch_mm() without going through alpha_switch_to():
kthread_use_mm(), which borrows an mm for the current kernel thread,
sched_force_init_mm() on the CPU-hotplug teardown path, and
do_shoot_lazy_tlb(), which switches to init_mm from an IPI. None explicitly
loads the context, so the task can carry on running under whatever was
loaded before. For kthread_use_mm(), current->mm then names the borrowed
mm even though its context has not been loaded. The other two callers
change active_mm while leaving current->mm NULL.
The stale page-table root need not be swapper_pg_dir; it may belong to a
user process that ran on the CPU earlier, and the kthread's user accesses
can then read and write that process's memory wherever the stale mappings
allow. Translations taken that way can also end up tagged with the
borrowed mm's ASN: ev5_switch_mm() writes that ASN into the PCB, which the
next PAL_swpctx installs against the stale ptbr. An address the stale
tables do not map faults instead, and since do_page_fault() resolves
faults against current->mm without reloading the context, the same access
can fault again on return.
sched_force_init_mm() needs CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU and do_shoot_lazy_tlb()
needs CONFIG_MMU_LAZY_TLB_SHOOTDOWN. Alpha selects neither, so only
kthread_use_mm() is reachable in practice. Test the caller's identity
rather than special-casing individual callers.
The scheduler passes the incoming task, which is not current until
alpha_switch_to() runs; all three direct callers pass current. Test for
that and load the context the way activate_mm() does. All three run with
interrupts disabled across the switch, so this completes before any
shootdown can be taken and needs no asn_lock handshake.

Alpha has no leaf entry above the last page table level, so the only
huge pages it can offer are granularity hint blocks: 64KB, 512KB and 4MB
with 8KB pages. Register all three as hstates, with 4MB as the default.
There is no PMD sized huge page, hence no transparent huge pages, no PMD
page table sharing and no gigantic pages.
As with arm64's contiguous PTEs, each PTE of a block keeps the frame
number of its own page, so a block is written with set_ptes(). Each
hstate's buddy order is its hint order, so a hugetlb folio is always
naturally aligned physically, as the hint requires, including after a
demote.
All PTEs of a block must agree in bits <15:0> (note 2 of Table 22-3 of
the Alpha Architecture Reference Manual), and both __ACCESS_BITS and
__DIRTY_BITS reach into that range, so every update rewrites the whole
block and huge_ptep_get() merges the young and dirty state back
together. Rewriting a valid block in place would leave its PTEs
disagreeing part way through, so changes to a valid block go through
break before make, following the procedure in section 11.6.1.
The hint is advisory, so this is safe on implementations that ignore it,
and gup_fast needs no changes since it walks the individual PTEs.
Enabling CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE derives pageblock_order from
HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER, which lowers it from 10 to 9 and so halves the
anti-fragmentation and compaction granularity from 8MB to 4MB.
Hugepage migration is left disabled, since it has not been tested.

Bits <6:5> of the Alpha PTE are the granularity hint, described in Table
22-3 of the Alpha Architecture Reference Manual. A hint of N marks the
PTE as one of a block of 8^N physically contiguous, naturally aligned
pages that the translation buffer may map with a single entry. With 8KB
pages that gives 64KB, 512KB and 4MB blocks.
Define the field and the helpers to encode and decode it. Nothing sets a
non-zero hint yet.
Add the hint to _PAGE_CHG_MASK so that pte_modify() preserves it. Swap
PTEs leave bits <31:0> clear, so pte_huge() is false on swap, migration
and marker entries, and page table entries above the last level keep a
zero hint where pmd_bad() would reject anything else.

The comments on _PAGE_KRE and _PAGE_URE said only "xxx". Describe the
four enable bits as the Alpha Linux PTE defines them, in Table 22-3 of
the Alpha Architecture Reference Manual: kernel and user read enable in
bits 8 and 9, kernel and user write enable in bits 12 and 13, with bits
<11:10> and <15:14> reserved. There are only two processor modes, user
and kernel (section 22.5.1). Linux uses the read enables as its accessed
bit and the write enables as its dirty bit, so say which of
__ACCESS_BITS and __DIRTY_BITS each one belongs to.
The names differ from what the hardware calls those bits on the 21264.
Its PALcode loads the PTE unchanged into DTB_PTE (21264/EV67 Hardware
Reference Manual, section 6.9), where bits 9 and 13 are the Executive
read and write enables (Figure 5-27), Executive being mode 1 of the four
the processor implements (Table 5-5). That is a detail below the PALcode
interface, and it is also the layout of the OpenVMS PTE in Table 11-2,
which is not the one Linux uses.
No functional change.

Alpha's CONFIG_COMPACTION-gated ptep_get_and_clear() overrides the
generic version in include/linux/pgtable.h but omits its
page_table_check_pte_clear() call. With CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK=y the
map count taken by set_ptes() is therefore never dropped when a PTE is
cleared through this path. zap_pte_range() clears PTEs this way, so the
first page freed after it hits the BUG_ON() in
__page_table_check_zero().
The call was instead placed in ptep_clear_flush() by commit dd5712f3379c
("alpha: fix user-space corruption during memory compaction"), where it
was harmless until alpha enabled page table check.
Add the missing call, and drop the now-duplicate one in
ptep_clear_flush(), which already goes through ptep_get_and_clear().

gcc supports __int128 on Alpha, and the 64x64 to 128-bit multiply that
the users in the scheduler and in lib/ care about maps onto mulq/umulh
rather than an out-of-line libgcc helper.
Variable 128-bit shifts are another matter. gcc open-codes them when
optimizing for speed, but with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y it calls the
libgcc routines __ashlti3, __ashrti3 and __lshrti3 instead. The kernel
does not link against libgcc, so provide the three helpers in C, as s390
does, and export them for modules. They are built into the kernel proper
rather than lib.a so the exports are present even when nothing built in
references them. Like the s390 versions they are marked noinstr, since
the compiler may emit calls to them from noinstr code.
Gate the select on CC_HAS_INT128 as the other 64-bit architectures do.

Wire Alpha into the generic entry code for syscall entry/exit and
return-to-user handling, while keeping the low-level PALcode return paths
Alpha-specific.
Move most of the syscall entry/exit logic out of entSys and into C helpers
built around the generic entry API. Syscall entry now uses
syscall_enter_from_user_mode(), records Alpha-local syscall metadata in
thread_info, handles the ptrace/seccomp skip decision, and selects the
syscall table target in C. The final target call remains in entry.S so
Alpha can preserve its existing syscall ABI and assembly syscall-table
wrappers.
On return from syscalls, finish Alpha's r0/r19 result encoding and
skipped-syscall restart handling in C before calling
syscall_exit_to_user_mode(). Non-syscall returns to user mode use a
separate alpha_exit_to_user_mode() helper, which disables interrupts,
runs irqentry_exit_to_user_mode_prepare(), and then enters the common
exit_to_user_mode() path.
Keep the remaining PALcode restore handling in assembly. In particular,
kernel-mode returns still need Alpha-specific lockdep IRQ-state annotation
based on the saved processor status, while user-mode returns are handed to
the generic exit-to-user code.
Add the generic-entry support bits needed by common code, including
thread_info.syscall_work, syscall trace support, ptrace sysemu request
numbers, and arch_syscall_is_vdso_sigreturn().
This has been tested by booting Alpha with GENERIC_ENTRY enabled, checking
lockdep IRQ-state accounting, running fork/clone-heavy package builds, and
running the seccomp as well as strace test suites.

architecture hook using the compiler return-address builtin when frame
pointers are available.
Return zero when frame pointers are disabled, matching the existing
fallback behavior of architectures that cannot provide a reliable return
address.
This is a preparatory change for enabling lockdep support on Alpha.

Alpha interrupt masking is controlled by the PAL IPL value, not by the
full processor status word. Make arch_local_save_flags() return the
current IPL directly, and make arch_local_irq_restore() and
arch_irqs_disabled_flags() treat their argument as IPL state.
Mask the low IPL bits in the restore and test helpers so callers which
still pass a saved PS value continue to behave as expected.
This prepares the irqflags helpers for lockdep IRQ-state tracking, where
the saved flags value is used to determine whether hard IRQs are enabled
or disabled.

Add a user_regset_view for Alpha and switch ELF core dumping to
CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET. General-purpose registers are exported in
ELF gregs layout, including callee-saved registers and a correct
user stack pointer.
The user stack pointer is not preserved in pt_regs on Alpha, so expose
it from the PCB, or via rdusp() for the current task, when building the
ELF register image. This makes the user stack pointer consistent for
core dumps, ptrace regsets, and PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO.
Implement regset get/set callbacks for both NT_PRSTATUS and NT_PRFPREG.
The callbacks translate between Alpha's pt_regs/thread state and the
ELF-visible register layouts, while the common ptrace regset code handles
PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET iovec semantics. This avoids
duplicating subtle short-buffer and oversized-buffer behavior in
arch_ptrace().
With these changes Alpha satisfies the requirements for
HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK and selects it, enabling generic tracehook and
ptrace syscall-info code paths without changing the existing syscall
entry ABI.

Pull pci updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
"Enumeration:
- Remove MPS/MRRS Kconfig settings (CONFIG_PCIE_BUS_*) that worked
around a WiFi device defect; use a quirk or boot-time
"pci=pcie_bus_tune_*" kernel parameter instead (Bjorn Helgaas)
- Always lift 2.5GT/s restriction in PCIe failed link retraining to
avoid clamping a link to 2.5GT/s after hot-plug changes the device
(Maciej W. Rozycki)
- Request bus reassignment when not probe-only to fix an enumeration
regression on Marvell CN106XX and possibly other DT-based systems

that resulted in 'proc_dir_entry ... already registered' warnings
and pointer corruption (Krzysztof Wilczyński)
- Fix sysfs race that causes 'duplicate filename' warnings and boot
panics by converting PCI resource files to static attributes
(Krzysztof Wilczyński)
- Expose sysfs 'resourceN_resize' attributes only on platforms with
PCI mmap (Krzysztof Wilczyński)
- Require CAP_SYS_ADMIN to write to sysfs 'resourceN_resize'
attributes (Krzysztof Wilczyński)
- Add security_locked_down(LOCKDOWN_PCI_ACCESS) to alpha PCI resource
mmap path to match the generic path (Krzysztof Wilczyński)
- Use kstrtobool() to parse the 'rom' attribute input to avoid the
unexpected behavior of enabling the ROM when writing '0' with no
trailing newline (Krzysztof Wilczyński)
Resource management:
- Improve resource claim logging for debuggability (Ilpo Järvinen)
- Clean up several uses of const parameters (Ilpo Järvinen)
- Check option ROM header signatures and lengths before accessing to
avoid page faults and alignment faults (Guixin Liu)
ASPM:
- Don't reconfigure ASPM when entering low-power D-state; only do it
when returning back to D0 (Carlos Bilbao)
Power management:
- During suspend, set power state to 'unknown' for all devices, not
just those with drivers (Lukas Wunner)
- Skip restoring Resizable BARs and VF Resizable BARs if device
doesn't respond to config reads, to avoid invalid array accesses
(Marco Nenciarini)
- Add pci_suspend_retains_context() so drivers can tell whether
devices retain internal state across suspend/resume, since some
platforms reset devices on suspend; use this in nvme to avoid
issues on Qcom RCs (Manivannan Sadhasivam)
Power control:
- Only to power on/off devices that actually support power control to
avoid poking at incompatible devices mentioned in DT (Manivannan
Sadhasivam)
Virtualization and resets:
- Log device readiness timeouts as errors, not warnings, because the
device is likely unusable in this case (Bjorn Helgaas)
- Wait for device readiness after soft reset (D3hot ->
D0uninitialized transition), when the device may respond with
Request Retry Status (RRS) if it needs more time to initialize
(Bjorn Helgaas)
- Drop unnecessary retries when restoring BARs because resets should
now already include all required delays (Lukas Wunner)
- Avoid FLR for MediaTek MT7925 WiFi, where FLR fails after a VM
terminates uncleanly (Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez)

fails (Koichiro Den)
- Validate BAR index and remove dead BAR read in endpoint doorbell
test (Carlos Bilbao)

through (Koichiro Den)
- Cache sleepable pci_irq_vector() value at ISR setup to avoid
calling it from hardirq context (Koichiro Den)
- Call sleepable pci_epc_raise_irq() from a work item instead of
atomic context, e.g., when setting bits in NTB peer doorbells in
the ntb_peer_db_set() path (Koichiro Den)
- Report 0-based vNTB doorbell vector to account for link event 0 and
historically skipped slot 1 (Koichiro Den)
- Prevent configfs writes to vNTB db_count and other values that are
already in use after EPC attach (Koichiro Den)
- Account for vNTB db_valid reserved slots (link event 0 and
historically skipped slot 1) so they don't appear as valid
doorbells (Koichiro Den)
- Implement vNTB .db_vector_count()/mask() for doorbells so clients
can use multiple vectors and avoid thundering herds (Koichiro Den)
- Report 0-based NTB doorbell vector to account for link event 0 and

after > 5GT/s Link training completes and use it for cadence HPA,
j721e, LGA; dwc; aardvark, mediatek-gen3, rzg3s (Hans Zhang)
- Protect root bus removal with rescan lock in altera, brcmstb,
cadence, dwc, iproc, mediatek, plda, rockchip to prevent
use-after-free or crashes when racing with sysfs rescan or hotplug
(Hans Zhang)
- Add pci_host_common_parse_ports() for use by any native driver to
parse Root Port properties (per-Link features like width, speed,

Currently, legacy_io and legacy_mem are dynamically allocated and created
by pci_create_legacy_files(), with pci_adjust_legacy_attr() updating the
attributes at runtime on Alpha to rename them and shift the size for sparse
addressing.
Convert to four static const attributes (legacy_io, legacy_io_sparse,
legacy_mem, legacy_mem_sparse) with .is_bin_visible() callbacks that use
pci_legacy_has_sparse() to select the appropriate variant per bus. The
sizes are compile-time constants and .size is set directly on each
attribute.
Register the groups in pcibus_groups[] under a HAVE_PCI_LEGACY guard so the
driver model handles creation and removal automatically.
Stub out pci_create_legacy_files() and pci_remove_legacy_files() as the
dynamic creation is no longer needed. Remove the __weak
pci_adjust_legacy_attr(), Alpha's override, and its declaration from both
Alpha and PowerPC asm/pci.h headers.

Currently, Alpha's sparse/dense legacy attribute handling is done via
pci_adjust_legacy_attr(), which updates dynamically allocated attributes at
runtime. The upcoming conversion to static attributes needs a way to
determine sparse support at visibility check time.
Add a __weak pci_legacy_has_sparse() that returns false by default. Alpha
overrides it to check has_sparse() on the bus host controller.

Previously, Alpha's PCI resource files (resourceN, resourceN_sparse,
resourceN_dense) were dynamically created by pci_create_resource_files(),
which overrides the generic __weak implementation. The previous code
allocated bin_attributes at runtime and managed them via the res_attr[] and
res_attr_wc[] fields in struct pci_dev.
Convert to static const attributes with three attribute groups (plain,
sparse, dense), each with an .is_bin_visible() callback that checks
resource length, has_sparse(), and sparse_mem_mmap_fits(). A .bin_size()
callback provides the resource size to the kernfs node, with the sparse
variant shifting by 5 bits for byte-level addressing.
Register the groups via ARCH_PCI_DEV_GROUPS so the driver model handles
creation and removal automatically.
Use the new pci_resource_is_mem() helper for the type check, replacing the
open-coded bitwise flag test.
Finally, remove pci_create_resource_files(), pci_remove_resource_files(),
pci_create_attr(), and pci_create_one_attr() which are no longer needed.

On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache
to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a
coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer
and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the
counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the
persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded.
To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and
flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

A quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better than to

"The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right
now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography
and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations
sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations
sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for
many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into
the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture
code.
Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the
architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric
Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After
that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for
smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained
here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call
overhead"

Alpha's pgprot_noncached, pgprot_writecombine, and pgprot_device are
all identity macros, so the generic pgprot_modify() produces
tautological self-comparisons that GCC warns about:
include/linux/pgtable.h:1701:25: warning: self-comparison always
evaluates to true [-Wtautological-compare]
Since all caching attributes are no-ops on Alpha, define
pgprot_modify() to simply return newprot.

- r2 preserves the original syscall number for restart
- r0 carries the return value, with r19 (a3) indicating success/error
This allows syscall restarts to be permitted only for valid ERESTART*
return codes and prevents kernel-internal restart values from leaking to
userspace. The syscall tracing error marker is corrected to use the saved
syscall number slot, matching the Alpha ABI.
Additionally, implement minimal PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET
support for NT_PRSTATUS, exporting struct pt_regs directly. This fixes
ptrace-based seccomp tests that previously failed with -EIO.
With these changes, seccomp-bpf and ptrace syscall tests pass reliably on
Alpha.

Reduce 22 declarations of empty_zero_page to 3 and 23 declarations of
ZERO_PAGE() to 4.
Every architecture defines empty_zero_page that way or another, but for the
most of them it is always a page aligned page in BSS and most definitions
of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page).
Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the
core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement
colored zero page (MIPS and s390).
ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static
inline causes severe pain in header dependencies.
For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy:
* alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot
parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing
and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only
* arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of
ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact.
* m68k/parisc/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock,
although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS
will work fine.
* sparc64 can have empty_zero_page in BSS rather allocate it, but it
can't use virt_to_page() for BSS. Keep it's definition of ZERO_PAGE()
but instead of allocating it, make mem_map_zero point to
empty_zero_page.
* sh: used empty_zero_page for boot parameters at the very early boot.
Rename the parameters page to boot_params_page and let sh use the generic
empty_zero_page.
* hexagon: had an amusing comment about empty_zero_page
/* A handy thing to have if one has the RAM. Declared in head.S */
that unfortunately had to go :)

Move the asm/xor.h headers to lib/raid/xor/$(SRCARCH)/xor_arch.h and
include/linux/raid/xor_impl.h to lib/raid/xor/xor_impl.h so that the
xor.ko module implementation is self-contained in lib/raid/.
As this remove the asm-generic mechanism a new kconfig symbol is added to
indicate that a architecture-specific implementations exists, and
xor_arch.h should be included.

After the merge of the alpha and mm trees, this code does not compile,
as a parameter is missing in a call to page_table_check_pte_clear().
The parameter was re-added in commit d7b4b67eb6b3 ("mm/page_table_check:
reinstate address parameter in [__]page_table_check_pte_clear()").
The alpha-specific code was newly added in commit dd5712f3379c ("alpha:

On a 64-bit system, madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) may cause a large number of
empty PTE page table pages (such as 100GB+). To resolve this problem,
first enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE to prepare for enabling the
PT_RECLAIM feature, which resolves this problem.

Alpha systems can suffer sporadic user-space crashes and heap
corruption when memory compaction is enabled.
Symptoms include SIGSEGV, glibc allocator failures (e.g. "unaligned
tcache chunk"), and compiler internal errors. The failures disappear
when compaction is disabled or when using global TLB invalidation.
The root cause is insufficient TLB shootdown during page migration.
Alpha relies on ASN-based MM context rollover for instruction cache
coherency, but this alone is not sufficient to prevent stale data or
instruction translations from surviving migration.
Fix this by introducing a migration-specific helper that combines:
- MM context invalidation (ASN rollover),
- immediate per-CPU TLB invalidation (TBI),
- synchronous cross-CPU shootdown when required.
The helper is used only by migration/compaction paths to avoid changing
global TLB semantics.
Additionally, update flush_tlb_other(), pte_clear(), to use
READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for correct SMP memory ordering.
This fixes observed crashes on both UP and SMP Alpha systems.

Patch series "mm: folio_zero_user: clear page ranges", v11.
This series adds clearing of contiguous page ranges for hugepages.
The series improves on the current discontiguous clearing approach in two
ways:
- clear pages in a contiguous fashion.
- use batched clearing via clear_pages() wherever exposed.
The first is useful because it allows us to make much better use of
hardware prefetchers.
The second, enables advertising the real extent to the processor. Where
specific instructions support it (ex. string instructions on x86; "mops"
on arm64 etc), a processor can optimize based on this because, instead of
seeing a sequence of 8-byte stores, or a sequence of 4KB pages, it sees a
larger unit being operated on.
For instance, AMD Zen uarchs (for extents larger than LLC-size) switch to
a mode where they start eliding cacheline allocation. This is helpful not
just because it results in higher bandwidth, but also because now the
cache is not evicting useful cachelines and replacing them with zeroes.
Demand faulting a 64GB region shows performance improvement:
$ perf bench mem mmap -p $pg-sz -f demand -s 64GB -l 5
baseline +series
(GBps +- %stdev) (GBps +- %stdev)
pg-sz=2MB 11.76 +- 1.10% 25.34 +- 1.18% [*] +115.47% preempt=*
pg-sz=1GB 24.85 +- 2.41% 39.22 +- 2.32% + 57.82% preempt=none|voluntary
pg-sz=1GB (similar) 52.73 +- 0.20% [#] +112.19% preempt=full|lazy
[*] This improvement is because switching to sequential clearing
allows the hardware prefetchers to do a much better job.
[#] For pg-sz=1GB a large part of the improvement is because of the
cacheline elision mentioned above. preempt=full|lazy improves upon
that because, not needing explicit invocations of cond_resched() to
ensure reasonable preemption latency, it can clear the full extent
as a single unit. In comparison the maximum extent used for
preempt=none|voluntary is PROCESS_PAGES_NON_PREEMPT_BATCH (32MB).
When provided the full extent the processor forgoes allocating
cachelines on this path almost entirely.
(The hope is that eventually, in the fullness of time, the lazy
preemption model will be able to do the same job that none or
voluntary models are used for, allowing us to do away with
cond_resched().)
Raghavendra also tested previous version of the series on AMD Genoa and
sees similar improvement [1] with preempt=lazy.
$ perf bench mem map -p $page-size -f populate -s 64GB -l 10
base patched change
pg-sz=2MB 12.731939 GB/sec 26.304263 GB/sec 106.6%
pg-sz=1GB 26.232423 GB/sec 61.174836 GB/sec 133.2%
This patch (of 8):
Let's drop all variants that effectively map to clear_page() and provide
it in a generic variant instead.
We'll use the macro clear_user_page to indicate whether an architecture
provides it's own variant.
Also, clear_user_page() is only called from the generic variant of
clear_user_highpage(), so define it only if the architecture does not
provide a clear_user_highpage(). And, for simplicity define it in
linux/highmem.h.
Note that for parisc, clear_page() and clear_user_page() map to
clear_page_asm(), so we can just get rid of the custom clear_user_page()
implementation. There is a clear_user_page_asm() function on parisc, that
seems to be unused. Not sure what's up with that.

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize now
on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers.
This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement).

Pull misc non-vfs updates from Al Viro:
"Assorted dead code removal around asm/pgtable.h"
* tag 'pull-misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
alpha: unobfuscate _PAGE_P() definition
kill FIRST_USER_PGD_NR
alpha: get rid of the remnants of BAD_PAGE and friends
SET_PAGE_DIR() users had been gone since 2.3.12pre1
PAGE_PTR() had been last used outside of arch/* in 1.1.94
csky: remove BS check for FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
- NVMe pull request via Keith:
- FC target fixes (Daniel)
- Authentication fixes and updates (Martin, Chris)
- Admin controller handling (Kamaljit)
- Target lockdep assertions (Max)
- Keep-alive updates for discovery (Alastair)
- Suspend quirk (Georg)
- MD pull request via Yu:
- Add support for a lockless bitmap.
A key feature for the new bitmap are that the IO fastpath is
lockless. If a user issues lots of write IO to the same bitmap
bit in a short time, only the first write has additional overhead
to update bitmap bit, no additional overhead for the following
writes.
By supporting only resync or recover written data, means in the
case creating new array or replacing with a new disk, there is no
need to do a full disk resync/recovery.
- Switch ->getgeo() and ->bios_param() to using struct gendisk rather
than struct block_device.
- Rust block changes via Andreas. This series adds configuration via
configfs and remote completion to the rnull driver. The series also
includes a set of changes to the rust block device driver API: a few
cleanup patches, and a few features supporting the rnull changes.
The series removes the raw buffer formatting logic from
`kernel::block` and improves the logic available in `kernel::string`
to support the same use as the removed logic.
- floppy arch cleanups
- Reduce the number of dereferencing needed for ublk commands
- Restrict supported sockets for nbd. Mostly done to eliminate a class
of issues perpetually reported by syzbot, by using nonsensical socket
setups.
- A few s390 dasd block fixes
- Fix a few issues around atomic writes
- Improve DMA interation for integrity requests
- Improve how iovecs are treated with regards to O_DIRECT aligment
constraints.
We used to require each segment to adhere to the constraints, now
only the request as a whole needs to.
- Clean up and improve p2p support, enabling use of p2p for metadata
payloads
- Improve locking of request lookup, using SRCU where appropriate
- Use page references properly for brd, avoiding very long RCU sections
- Fix ordering of recursively submitted IOs
- Clean up and improve updating nr_requests for a live device
- Various fixes and cleanups
