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.

Verification that the kernel does not have writable + executable mappings
is about detecting security risks rather than a pure debug feature.
Major distribution configurations enable it in their kernels as well as
defconfigs of most architectures that have ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_WX.
Rename relevant generic configuration options to use CHECK_WX and move
their definitions from mm/Kconfig.debug to mm/Kconfig.
Rename *debug_checkwx() funcitons and macros to *pgtable_checkwx().
For arm that does not widely enable it, only rename its variants of the
config options.
Enabling CHECK_WX adds a few kilobytes to the kernel binary and while the
added size can be slightly reduced with churny updates of architecture
implementations of ptdump, the core functionality takes most of the added
size. It cannot be moved to .init.text because the verification has to
happen after init sections are freed.
With this, make generic CHECK_WX default to STRICT_KERNEL_RWX while
still leaving users targeting small kernels the possibility to opt-out.

Under some uncommon timing conditions, a generation check and
xchg(active_asids, A1) in check_and_switch_context() on P1 can race with
an ASID roll-over on P2. If P2 has not seen the update to
active_asids[P1], it can re-allocate A1 to a new task T2 on P2. P1 ends
up waiting on the spinlock since the xchg() returned 0 while P2 can go
through a second ASID roll-over with (T2,A1,G2) active on P2. This
roll-over copies active_asids[P1] == A1,G1 into reserved_asids[P1] and
active_asids[P2] == A1,G2 into reserved_asids[P2]. A subsequent
scheduling of T1 on P1 and T2 on P2 would match reserved_asids and get
their generation bumped to G3:
P1 P2
-- --
TTBR0.BADDR = T0
TTBR0.ASID = A0
asid_generation = G1
check_and_switch_context(T1,A1,G1)
generation match
check_and_switch_context(T2,A0,G0)
new_context()
ASID roll-over
asid_generation = G2
flush_context()
active_asids[P1] = 0
asid_map[A1] = 0
reserved_asids[P1] = A0,G0
xchg(active_asids, A1)
active_asids[P1] = A1,G1
xchg returns 0
spin_lock_irqsave()
allocated ASID (T2,A1,G2)
asid_map[A1] = 1
active_asids[P2] = A1,G2
...
check_and_switch_context(T3,A0,G0)
new_context()
ASID roll-over
asid_generation = G3
flush_context()
active_asids[P1] = 0
asid_map[A1] = 1
reserved_asids[P1] = A1,G1
reserved_asids[P2] = A1,G2
allocated ASID (T3,A2,G3)
asid_map[A2] = 1
active_asids[P2] = A2,G3
new_context()
check_update_reserved_asid(A1,G1)
matches reserved_asid[P1]
reserved_asid[P1] = A1,G3
updated T1 ASID to (T1,A1,G3)
check_and_switch_context(T2,A1,G2)
new_context()
check_update_reserved_asid(A1,G2)
matches reserved_asids[P2]
reserved_asids[P2] = A1,G3
updated T2 ASID to (T2,A1,G3)
At this point, we have two tasks, T1 and T2 both using ASID A1 with the
latest generation G3. Any of them is allowed to be scheduled on the
other CPU leading to two different tasks with the same ASID on the same
CPU.
This patch changes the xchg to cmpxchg so that the active_asids is only
updated if non-zero to avoid a race with an ASID roll-over on a
different CPU.

mmap(MAP_HUGETLB) on 32-bit Arm can return an address which is not
aligned to the huge page size. In a QEMU virt guest, unmapping the VMA
then hits the alignment check in __unmap_hugepage_range():
kernel BUG at mm/hugetlb.c:5213!
Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] SMP ARM
PC is at __unmap_hugepage_range+0x540/0x584
LR is at __zap_vma_range+0x13a0/0x1410
Commit 7bd3f1e1a9ae ("mm: make hugetlb mappings go through
mm_get_unmapped_area_vmflags") made hugetlb mappings use the
architecture's arch_get_unmapped_area(). The generic implementations
handle hugetlb alignment, but the Arm implementations only account for
the optional SHMLBA cache-colouring constraint. A 4 KiB-page kernel can
therefore align the mapping to 4 KiB or 16 KiB instead of the required
2 MiB.
Set the alignment mask from the file's hstate for hugetlb mappings in
both Arm implementations. Huge-page alignment also satisfies the
SHMLBA constraint.

error path
In __iommu_alloc_simple(), when IOMMU mapping creation fails, the error
path unconditionally called __free_from_pool() regardless of the
allocation path taken.
For the COHERENT case, memory is allocated via __alloc_simple_buffer(),
which does not use the atomic pool. Calling __free_from_pool() on such
memory silently returns without freeing, causing a page memory leak.
Fix this by matching the free function to the allocation path:
- COHERENT: use __dma_free_buffer(virt_to_page(addr), size)
- non-COHERENT: use __free_from_pool(addr, size)

The register-offset form of LDR/STR may apply a shift to Rm. Per
DecodeImmShift() (ARM ARM DDI0406C section A8.4.3, "Pseudocode details
of instruction-specified shifts and rotates"), an imm5 of 0 encodes a
shift of 32 for LSR and ASR; only LSL treats 0 as "no shift", and ROR
with 0 encodes RRX.
do_alignment() special-cases RRX but not LSR or ASR, and IS_SHIFT() does
not filter these encodings out, so the block is entered with
shiftval == 0 and the offset becomes Rm instead of 0 (LSR #32) or the
replicated sign of Rm (ASR #32).
do_alignment_finish_ldst() applies the offset to the base-register
writeback of the post-indexed form, so the emulated access itself uses
the correct faulting address but Rn is left holding the wrong value.
Reproduced on ARM926EJ-S (versatile_defconfig, CONFIG_ALIGNMENT_TRAP=y,
gcc 13.3.0) with a misaligned base and Rm = 0x1000:
ldr r0, [r1], r2, lsr #32 Rn advanced by 0x1000, must be unchanged
ldr r0, [r1], r2, asr #32 Rn advanced by 0x1000, must be unchanged
ldr r0, [r1], r2, asr #32 with Rm negative, Rn must decrease by 1
All three are correct with the patch applied, while a lsr #1 control
case is emulated correctly both before and after.

The alignment handlers enable access to user memory while emulating
unaligned instructions. If a checked access faults, its exception table
fixup jumps to the handler's fault label and bypasses uaccess_restore().
This leaves DOMAIN_USER as DOMAIN_CLIENT with SW domain PAN, or leaves
TTBR0 page table walks enabled with TTBR0 PAN, while the fault is handled.
An ARM926 QEMU test using LDMIA across an unmapped page boundary reports
DOMAIN_USER=1 at TYPE_FAULT before this change and DOMAIN_USER=0 after it.
SW domain PAN is the default on ARMv5, ARMv6, and non-LPAE ARMv7 builds.
Keep the saved uaccess state at function scope and track whether it was
saved. Restore it at the fault label only when needed. Paths that did not
enable user access continue to skip the restore.

An ARM randconfig with CONFIG_GET_FREE_REGION=y and CONFIG_WERROR=y
fails to build:
include/linux/minmax.h:86:37: error: conversion from 'long long
unsigned int' to 'resource_size_t' {aka 'unsigned int'} changes
value from '68719476735' to '4294967295' [-Werror=overflow]
Commit 14b80582c43e ("resource: Introduce alloc_free_mem_region()")
made kernel/resource.c clamp against
(1ULL << MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS) - 1. resource_size_t is 32-bit without
LPAE, but ARM's default MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS is 36.
That default was added by commit db57f88e4ccb ("ARM: 8411/1: Add
default SPARSEMEM settings") because several platforms needed at
least 36 physical address bits. !LPAE could map addresses above
32 bits only through supersections.
CONFIG_IO_36, added by commit 23bdf86aa06e ("[ARM] 3377/2: add
support for intel xsc3 core"), enabled these for XSC3 I/O. IXP23xx
placed static I/O mappings above 4GiB until its removal in 2012, and
IOP13xx ioremap()ed its PCIe windows there until its removal in 2019.
The only remaining XSC3 platform, PXA3xx, has nothing above 4GiB.
Supersection address bits overlap the descriptor domain field, so
IO_36 also renumbered the domains to make DOMAIN_IO zero. Remove
IO_36, the alternate domain numbering, and ioremap()'s supersection
path. Reject !LPAE ioremap ranges extending past 4GiB before
phys_addr_t truncation, drop the now-unneeded high static-mapping
exclusion, and reduce ioremap alignment from 16MiB to the 2MiB
covered by a PMD's pair of sections.
The other supersection user, create_36bit_mapping(), was added by
commit 0b7cd62ecdc1 ("[ARM] 3017/1: Add support for 36-bit addresses
to create_mapping()") for IXP2350 and carried IXP23xx's high static
mappings. Before this change, its only remaining call path was
efi_create_mapping() -> create_mapping_late(), for an EFI runtime
region above 4GiB.
No real-world user of this !LPAE path is known. AArch32 UEFI
requires RAM described by its memory map to be identity-mapped
during boot services, which a 32-bit virtual address space cannot
provide above 4GiB. Systems needing wider physical addressing are
expected to use LPAE.
Remove create_36bit_mapping() and the supersection definitions. If
firmware nevertheless advertises such a region on !LPAE,
efi_create_mapping() rejects it before __pfn_to_phys() truncates its
address to a low alias. EFI runtime services remain disabled, but
the kernel continues to boot. LPAE kernels are unaffected.
With no remaining !LPAE mappings above 4GiB, set MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS to
32 for !LPAE and retain 36 for LPAE, where phys_addr_t is 64-bit.

- "memcg: bail out reclaim when memcg is dying" (Jiayuan Chen)
Mitigate a system-wide stall which occurs when a cgroup is removed
while one of its memory control files is doing synchronous reclaim
- "mm/memory-failure: add panic option for unrecoverable pages" (Breno
Leitao)
Introduce an opt-in vm.panic_on_unrecoverable_memory_failure sysctl
that immediately panics the kernel on unrecoverable memory errors in
kernel-owned pages to preserve error context and prevent delayed,
silent data corruption
- "mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error
handling" (SJ Park)
Refactor the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts
are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit()
fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side
cleanup code
- "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan)
Add checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when freeing compound
or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio
splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows
the removal of redundant private field clearing inside
prep_compound_tail()
- "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry
Song)
Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in
wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock
contention and system overhead
By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining
and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a
30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads
- "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu)
Reorganize folio LRU and swap code by relocating page-cluster state
to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c, and moving
MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h.
- "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" (Kiryl
Shutsemau)
Add userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM guest
memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to
tiered or remote storage
- "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David
Hildenbrand)
Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE,
performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap
pages on the way.
- "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park)
Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated
when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the
behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames
existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to
probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to
maintain measurement accuracy.
- "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin)
Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where
thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock
contention.
By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it
reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to
under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under
memory pressure.
- "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport)
Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse
into new headers
- "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin)
Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to
collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during
KSM memory error handling.
It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the
anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range,
reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency.
- "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali
Patil)
Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can
report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not
satisfied
- "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park)
Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing
users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or
cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.
By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely
disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on
weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for
attribute-focused workloads.
- "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings"
(Stanislav Kinsburskii)
Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by
allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new
hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.
By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock
release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd
regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers.
- "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and
manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel
It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),
vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while
renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their
functionality.
These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that
will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd
folios.
- "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif)
Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk
callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries
created during HMM migrations
It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock()
properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present
THP or a standard migration entry.
- "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain)
Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb,
anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated
functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous
large folio unmapping.
- "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu)
Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI
document
- "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price)
Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM
infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing
entire memory regions
By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it
enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward
compatibility.
- "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type
to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure.
It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(),
unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like
mlock, mprotect, and mremap.
- "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin)
Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate
slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code
documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must
remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions.
- "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park)
Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only
fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access
from outer layers.
It enforces encapsulation across core structures including
damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to
interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct
members.
- "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races"
(SJ Park)
Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race
conditions identified in DAMON
It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a
NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring
accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races.
- "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan
Jackman)
Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages
on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks
via non-PCP or isolated migration paths.
It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation
risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory
hotplug or large allocation frees.
- "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan
Jackman)
Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and
debug assertions.
It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming
convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from
high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete
VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths.
- "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API
boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity.
It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a
dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO,
eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only
to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no
functional changes intended.
- "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive
reclaim" (Ridong Chen)
Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across
memory reclaim paths
It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so
unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page
cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead
of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete
gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim().
- "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang)
Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it
removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP
pages as non-resident.
- "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau)
Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API
- "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation
bugs" (SJ Park)
Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by
Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent
occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses
in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling.
- "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu)
Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags
without altering functionality.
It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag
bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*()
helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling.
- "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain)
Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within
userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching
capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().
This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in
try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control
flow and complexity.
- "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()"
(Sang-Heon Jeon)
Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of
__late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after
early_ioremap_reset()
It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()
must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset
calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures.
- "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner)
Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious
OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta
production
It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation
requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at
pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather
than spinning unproductively.
- "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior)
Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating
per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances
This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map
instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic
lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports
when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems.

Pull ARM SoC platform updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"The 32-bit Arm platforms are a bit more interesting this time: I
refreshed an earlier series to mark code as deprecated that does have
the tendency of getting in the way of cleanups and new features but
has close to zero users. Among these are:
- 22 of the remaining 28 legacy board files that predate the current
devicetree based descriptions, using old chips from Intel and
Marvell. The remaining six board files are for TI OMAP1 and Samsung
s3c64xx chips and all still have known users.
- support for Cortex-M3/M4/M7 and ARM1136r0 CPU cores and the 25
machines based on these. These all use devicetree but the CPU
support causes disproportional work. Most of them are just
reference boards, the notable exceptions being the Nokia N800/N810
tablet and the Buglabs BUG platform.
- be8, be32, oabi and iwmmxt userspace binaries, which were mostly
associated with the platforms now scheduled for removal and are
increasingly problematic to support with modern toolchains.
Nothing is actually removed at this point, to ensure that any
remaining users continue to have the 7.3-LTS for a while longer.
Patches for removal are currently being tested.
Other updates include a continued work to convert GPIO number based
interfaces to descriptors, a patch to restore little-endian mode on
the one Arm platform (ixp4xx) that only worked in big-endian mode
recently, and some minor cleanups and bugfixes"

When CONFIG_DEBUG_USER=y, and cmdline "user_debug=31" is set,
a user fault may trigger show_pte() without any lock.
If another thread in the same process concurrently calls munmap(),
the page table pages may be freed while show_pte() is still traversing
them, causing a use-after-free in show_pte().
If CONFIG_ARM_LPAE=y, this may cause a kernel panic if the pages table
of PMD are freed when show_pte() is running.
Acquire mmap_write_lock() around show_pte() for user faults to fix the
contention.
For user faults, additionally restrict that show_pte() is called only
when the addr is a user-space address (addr < TASK_SIZE). This is because
the lock of tsk->mm only protects the virtual memory of user address space,
furthermore, dumping the page tables of a kernel-space address for user
faults is unnecessary and may have security implications.
Keep everything unchanged for kernel faults, because the kernel is
already in the "oops" state, acquiring a lock may risk a deadlock.

The family of vma_interval_tree_() functions manipulate the
address_space (which, of course, is generally referred to as 'mapping')
reverse mapping, but are named the 'VMA' interval tree.
VMAs may be mapped by an anon_vma, an address_space, or both. Therefore
calling the mapping interval tree a 'VMA' interval tree is rather
confusing.
This is also inconsistent with the anon_vma_interval_tree_*() functions
which explicitly reference the rmap object to which they pertain.
Rename the vma_interval_tree_*() functions to mapping_rmap_tree_*() to
correct this.
We will rename the anon rmap functions similarly in a subsequent patch.
No functional change intended.

The file-backed mapping interval tree functions vma_interval_tree_*()
accept a raw rb_root_cached pointer to determine the tree in which they are
operating.
However, in each case, this is always associated with an address_space data
type.
So simply pass a pointer to that instead to simplify the code, and more
clearly differentiate between these operations and those concerning
anonymous mappings.
While we're here, make the generated interval tree functions static as they
do not need to be used externally (any previously existing external users
have now been removed).
We also rename VMA parameters from 'node' to 'vma' as calling this a node
is simply confusing, update the input index types to pgoff_t since they
reference page offsets and rename the parameters to pgoff_start and
pgoff_last.
No functional change intended.

Following the deprecation of big-endian ARMv8 mode in arch/arm64 in commit
1cf89b6bf660 ("arm64: Kconfig: Make CPU_BIG_ENDIAN depend on BROKEN"),
this does the same for ARMv7 (and v6), leaving the code around but
disabled by default: There are no known products that make use of this
mode any more, and it only hangs around for testing that it still works.
At the moment, there are no known bugs with big-endian ARMv7 mode, but
it does break occasionally and require someone to fix it. By marking
the code as 'depends on BROKEN' now, it will no longer be covered by CI
testing. If any users remain, they can keep patching out the dependency
but are more likely to run into regressions.
The big-endian ARMv5 support (CONFIG_CPU_ENDIAN_BE32) in contrast is
still used on Intel IXP4xx platform, and is the only currently supported
mode there, so this one can still be enabled.
There is no timeline for actually removing the code at this point,
we will likely debate this if we ever remove IXP4xx support on arm,
or big-endian support on ARM64.

This CPU revision remains a special case as it is now incompatible
with CONFIG_SMP. Only the Nokia N8x0 is used in practice, and even
that one is fairly rare these days, so let's plan to remove all of
them after the 2026 LTS kernel release.

Support for SMP on ARM1136r0 has been broken for a while, and nobody
is working on fixing it. I had a plan to change ARMv6 support to no
longer coexist in a common kernel with ARMv7 CPUs but instead ARMv5 and
below. This would have addressed the problem, but after a recent mailing
list discussion, we concluded that an easier approach is to just forbid
ARM1136r0 CPU support on SMP-enabled kernels.
This mainly affects users of the Nokia N800/N810 tablets using an
OMAP2420 SoC, which is the only commercial product with an ARM1136r0
that is still supported by the kernel.
The other machines that are still in the same hardware catogory are:
- TI OMAP2420 H4 reference board
- TI OMAP2430 SDP software development platform
- Freescale/NXP i.MX31 Lite Development Kit
- Buglabs i.MX31 Bug 1.x prototype
- Arm Integrator/AP with CM1136JF-S core module
To my knowledge, none of these have any actual users aside from
reference boards being used to more easily test the platforms.
There are also a few ARM1136r1 machines, which implement the
ARMv6K SMP support (barriers, atomics and TLS):
- Eukrea CPUIMX35 reference platform
- Freescale/NXP i.MX35 Product Development Kit
- ARM Integrator/CP/IM-LT3 with ARM1136J Core Tile
- ARM Realview/EB with ARM1136J Core Tile
Again, these are mainly reference implementations rather than
actual products, but since they support ARMv6K, they should
continue to work correctly in SMP-enabled kernels. For the
ARM Core Tile, I have not found a datasheet but instead use
the revision based on what the respective virtual models
report.
All the other ARMv6 platforms use an ARM1176 with ARMv6K,
VMSAv7 and Trustzone support.
To avoid the broken configuration, annotate the ARM1136 based
machines with specific CPU_ARM1136R0 or CPU_ARM1136R2 symbols
in Kconfig and make the r0 variants depend on !SMP.

kasan_init() maps each memblock region with for_each_mem_range(), which
guarantees pa_start < pa_end. Then it skips any region with
pa_start >= arm_lowmem_limit, so pa_start < arm_lowmem_limit is guaranteed
as well.
When pa_end <= arm_lowmem_limit, pa_start < pa_end means start < end, so
the start >= end check is unreachable.
When pa_end > arm_lowmem_limit, end is clamped to __va(arm_lowmem_limit),
and pa_start < arm_lowmem_limit means start < end, so the check is
unreachable as well.
No functional change.

- Auxiliary:
Replace drvdata() with dedicated registration data on
auxiliary_device. drvdata() exposed the driver's bus device private
data beyond the driver's own scope, creating ordering constraints
and forcing the data to outlive all registrations that access it.
Registration data is instead scoped structurally to the
Registration object, making lifecycle ordering enforced by
construction rather than convention.
- Rust-native device driver lifetimes (HRT):
Allow Rust device drivers to carry a lifetime parameter on their
bus device private data, tied to the device binding scope -- the
interval during which a bus device is bound to a driver. Device
resources like pci::Bar<'a> and IoMem<'a> can be stored directly in
the driver's bus device private data with a lifetime bounded by the
binding scope, so the compiler enforces at build time that they do
not outlive the binding. This removes Devres indirection from every
access site and eliminates try_access() failure paths in
destructors.
Bus driver traits use a Generic Associated Type (GAT) Data<'bound>
to introduce the lifetime on the private data, rather than
parameterizing the Driver trait itself. Auxiliary registration
data, where the lifetime is not introduced by a trait callback but
must be threaded through Registration, uses the ForLt trait (a
type-level abstraction for types generic over a lifetime).
Misc:
- Fix DT overlayed devices not probing by reverting the broken
treewide overlay fix and re-running fw_devlink consumer pickup when
an overlay is applied to a bound device
- Use root_device_register() for faux bus root device; add sanity
check for failed bus init
- Fix dev_has_sync_state() data race with READ_ONCE() and move it to
base.h
- Avoid spurious device_links warning when removing a device while
its supplier is unbinding

Commit 7af5b901e847 ("ARM: 9358/2: Implement PAN for LPAE by TTBR0
page table walks disablement") implemented PAN for LPAE kernels by
setting TTBCR.EPD0 on every kernel entry, disabling TTBR0 page-table
walks while running in kernel mode. The commit correctly updated
cpu_suspend() in arch/arm/kernel/suspend.c, but missed two other code
paths that switch the CPU to the identity mapping before jumping to
low-PA (TTBR0-range) physical addresses:
1. setup_mm_for_reboot() in arch/arm/mm/idmap.c, used by the kexec
reboot path. With TTBCR.EPD0 still set, the subsequent branch to
the identity-mapped cpu_v7_reset causes a PrefetchAbort because the
TTBR0 page-table walk needed to resolve the identity-mapped address
is disabled. This manifests as a hard hang or "bad PC value" panic
on LPAE kernels booted on CPUs that strictly enforce EPD0 for
instruction fetch (e.g. Cortex-A53 in AArch32 mode) while the same
image may accidentally work on Cortex-A15 due to microarchitectural
differences in EPD0 enforcement.
2. arch_restore_image() in arch/arm/kernel/hibernate.c, which calls
cpu_switch_mm(idmap_pgd, &init_mm) directly without going through
setup_mm_for_reboot(), leaving TTBCR.EPD0 set while the identity
mapping is active.
Fix both sites by calling uaccess_save_and_enable() before switching
to the identity mapping, mirroring what the original commit did for
cpu_suspend().

This bug was already discovered and fixed for arm64 in
commit 588a513d3425 ("arm64: Fix race condition on PG_dcache_clean in
__sync_icache_dcache()").
Verified with added instrumentation to track dcache flushes in a ring
buffer, as shown by the (distilled) output:
kernel: SIGILL at b6b80ac0 cpu 1 pid 32663 linux_pte=8eff659f
hw_pte=8eff6e7e young=1 exec=1

audisp-syslog: comm="journalctl" exe="/usr/bin/journalctl" sig=4 [...]
Discussions in the mailing list mentioned that arch/arm is also affected
but the fix was never applied to it [1][2]. Apply the change now, since
the race condition can cause sporadic SIGILL's and SEGV's especially
while under high memory pressure.

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 :)

near the FSR definitions.

Split the vmalloc() lazy-page table population from
do_translation_fault() into a new vmalloc_fault() function.

__do_user_fault() may be called from fault handling paths where the
interrupts are enabled or disabled. E.g. do_page_fault() calls this
with interrupts enabled, whereas do_sect_fault()->do_bad_area()
will call this with interrupts disabled. Since this is a userspace
fault, we know that interrupts were enabled in the parent context,
so call local_irq_enable() here to give a consistent interrupt state.
This is necessary for force_sig_info() when PREEMPT_RT is enabled.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
- avoid %pK for ARM MM prints
- implement ARCH_HAS_CC_CAN_LINK to ensure runnable user progs
- handle BE8 and BE32 for user progs
* tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rmk/linux:
ARM: 9470/1: Handle BE8 vs BE32 in ARCH_CC_CAN_LINK
ARM: 9469/1: Implement ARCH_HAS_CC_CAN_LINK
ARM: 9467/1: mm: Don't use %pK through printk

Restricted pointers ("%pK") were never meant to be used
through printk(). They can acquire sleeping locks in atomic contexts.
Switch to %px over the more secure %p as this usage is a debugging aid,
gated behind CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL and used by WARN().

Every architecture calls sparse_init() during setup_arch() although the
data structures created by sparse_init() are not used until the
initialization of the core MM.
Beside the code duplication, calling sparse_init() from architecture
specific code causes ordering differences of vmemmap and HVO
initialization on different architectures.
Move the call to sparse_init() from architecture specific code to
free_area_init() to ensure that vmemmap and HVO initialization order is
always the same.

To initialize node, zone and memory map data structures every architecture
calls free_area_init() during setup_arch() and passes it an array of zone
limits.
Beside code duplication it creates "interesting" ordering cases between
allocation and initialization of hugetlb and the memory map. Some
architectures allocate hugetlb pages very early in setup_arch() in certain
cases, some only create hugetlb CMA areas in setup_arch() and sometimes
hugetlb allocations happen mm_core_init().
With arch_zone_limits_init() helper available now on all architectures it
is no longer necessary to call free_area_init() from architecture setup
code. Rather core MM initialization can call arch_zone_limits_init() in a
single place.
This allows to unify ordering of hugetlb vs memory map allocation and
initialization.
Remove the call to free_area_init() from architecture specific code and
place it in a new mm_core_init_early() function that is called immediately
after setup_arch().
After this refactoring it is possible to consolidate hugetlb allocations
and eliminate differences in ordering of hugetlb and memory map
initialization among different architectures.
As the first step of this consolidation move hugetlb_bootmem_alloc() to
mm_core_early_init().

Unlike most architectures, arm keeps a struct page pointer to the
empty_zero_page and to initialize it requires conversion of a virtual
address to page which makes it necessary to have memory map initialized
before creating the empty_zero_page.
Make empty_zero_page a stataic array in BSS to decouple it's
initialization from the initialization of the memory map.
This also aligns arm with vast majorty of architectures.
