git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "selftests/mm: improve khugepaged coverage" (Kiryl Shutsemau): Give khugepaged a proper workout. Extend the tests to all supported mTHP orders, check exactly which windows collapsed, and make scan completion deterministic. Race collapse against faults, pinning, fork and remap; verify that the contents survive. Add coverage for whole-page-table zaps and memory pressure too. - "selftests/mm: separate GUP microbenchmarking from functional testing" (Sarthak Sharma): Untangle GUP benchmarking from correctness testing. Move the benchmark into tools/mm, add a standalone harness-based GUP selftest, and move shared helpers into tools/lib/mm. Give each tool one job instead of mixing timing measurements with correctness checks. Cover the mapping, pinning and batch-size combinations explicitly. - "mm: Switch device DAX to section-based vmemmap optimization" (Muchun Song): Apply section-based vmemmap optimization to device DAX. Rework the backing metadata layout to save memory while preserving the handling of device memory hotplug and its different alignment and lifetime requirements. - "mm: Introduce section-based vmemmap optimization for HugeTLB" (Muchun Song): Cut the memory consumed by HugeTLB's struct page array with section-based vmemmap optimization. Arrange the metadata so large huge pages need fewer backing pages, while keeping initialization, teardown and the various hugepage configurations straight. - "mm/huge_memory: clean up and decouple the anon and file split helpers" (Kairui Song): Separate anonymous and file-backed folio splitting, which have rather different locking and bookkeeping requirements. Move the work into separate helpers, drop dead checks and tidy swap-cache handling. Fix error paths, including one that could leave a folio frozen. Keep the swap cache cases separate from file-cache splitting. - "mm: Unconditional per-VMA locks and cleanups" (Dave Hansen): Make per-VMA locking unconditional and clean up the old conditional code around it. This removes configuration-dependent plumbing and lets callers depend on one locking model rather than carrying both cases along. - "memcg: remove the v1 soft limit" (Shakeel Butt): Remove the old cgroup v1 memory soft-limit machinery. This has long since been superseded by the newer memory-control interfaces; hauling around a separate reclaim scheme for it no longer buys us much. - "read proc/pid/smaps_rollup under per-vma lock" (Suren Baghdasaryan): Read /proc/PID/smaps_rollup using per-VMA locks where possible, rather than holding mmap_lock across the entire walk. Retain the contention fallback and add tearing tests. This considerably reduces latency when another thread is busy changing its mappings. - "mm/damon: introduce data access-as-a-data attribute" (SJ Park): Teach DAMON to expose memory access observations as data attributes, making them available to the probe and filtering machinery. Extend the interfaces, documentation and tests so the new information can be used rather than merely collected. - "Remove PG_private by using page/folio->private checks instead" (Zi Yan): Get rid of PG_private and use the folio's private pointer to say whether private data is attached. Convert the filesystem users, including erofs, f2fs and md, and clean up the old accessors and flags. There are a few special cases, notably swapcache and hugetlb, which need explicit care. - "mm: make userland page table freeing RCU-safe" (Lorenzo Stoakes): Make freeing userspace page tables safe against RCU readers. Sort out the page-table lifetime and locking rules so walkers cannot stumble over freed tables while mappings are being torn down. - "make unused huge shrinker memcg aware" (Qi Zheng): Make shmem's unused-huge-folio shrinker aware of memory cgroups, so reclaim can find those folios under the right memcg. Wire up the per-memcg tracking and its lifetime rules, and give the shrinklist its own lockdep class to avoid spurious dependency reports. - "mm: Drop pxd_ERROR()" (Anshuman Khandual): Remove the old pxd_ERROR() page-table checks and their architecture-specific baggage. Simplify the common page-table interfaces and callers now that these checks no longer serve a useful purpose. - "memcg: group struct fields by access pattern" (Shakeel Butt): Rearrange memcg's hot and cold fields according to how they're actually accessed. Keep frequently updated counters and their neighboring state from fighting over cachelines and reduce needless cacheline traffic. - "mm/damon/core: fix the size charged for a filter-trimmed region" (Donggeun Yoo): Fix DAMOS quota accounting when a filter trims a monitoring region. Charge only the part left after filtering, not the original region, and add KUnit coverage. Previously the excluded memory could eat into the quota and make schemes run more slowly than requested. - "mm/damon: add kunit and selftests for probes and probe weights" (SJ Park): Add more tests for DAMON probes and their weights, including validation and the results reported to userspace. This is mostly about catching regressions in the newer probe infrastructure before they become harder to diagnose. - "mm: memcontrol: constify the read side of the read side of the memcg API" (Tal Zussman): Mark the read-only parts of the memcg interface const, from folio and lruvec accessors to counters and swap helpers. Most of this is mechanical, but it makes the contracts clearer and lets the compiler catch accidental writes. - "mm/damon/vaddr: support {prep,apply}_probes" (SJ Park): Support the new prepare/apply probe operations in DAMON's virtual-address backend. This brings vaddr monitoring into line with the probe infrastructure and makes the added probe types useful there too. - "mm/mglru: clean up folio counters and flag usage" (Kairui Song): Simplify MGLRU's folio counters and flag handling. Remove redundant accounting paths and make the state transitions easier to follow without changing the intended reclaim policy. - "arch, mm/execmem: resolve confusion about set_direct_map_valid_noflush()" (Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)): Clarify and straighten out the set_direct_map_valid_noflush() interface across architectures and execmem. Make the requested mapping changes and the callers' expectations agree, rather than relying on subtly different architecture behavior. - "mm: zswap: free cold writeback folios promptly" (Alexandre Ghiti): Free zswap writeback folios as soon as their disk write completes. They are cold temporary buffers, so putting them on the LRU only makes reclaim rediscover them later. Extend swap-cache dropbehind and let zswap keep these folios off the LRU altogether. - "mm: gup: cleanup gup_fast call chain" (Aristeu Rozanski): Clean up the GUP-fast call chain and simplify how the fast-path helpers pass their arguments and results around. Keep the page-pin behavior the same while making the call sequence easier to maintain. - "mm: optimize zone-device memmap initialization" (Li Zhe): Speed up initialization of zone-device struct pages. Avoid redundant work when setting up large device-memory ranges, where touching every descriptor can get expensive. - "mm/zswap: shrink zswap_entry via a pool id" (Jianyue Wu): Reduce the size of zswap_entry by storing a compact pool identifier instead of a full pointer. Keep the pool lookup and lifetime handling correct while saving per-entry metadata. - "mm/damon: support access monitoring of hugetlb-backed memory" (Krishna Iyer): Let DAMON monitor hugetlb-backed memory too. Extend the relevant access checks and add coverage so those mappings no longer fall through a hole in the monitoring machinery. - "mm/execmem: fixes and cleanups for the ROX cache" (Mike Rapoport): Tidy execmem's read-only-executable cache and fix its handling of the awkward allocation and release cases. The aim is to make the cache's ownership and permission transitions more predictable. - "zsmallc: remove old object read API" (Sergey Senozhatsky): Drop zsmalloc's old object-read API and move its remaining users to the supported access mechanism. This removes a duplicate interface which we no longer need. - "mm/mempolicy: stop copying state in the interleave paths" (Gregory Price): Stop copying mempolicy state in the interleave paths when a reference to the existing policy will do. This avoids extra work and makes the ownership rules less obscure. - "mm/mglru: speed up inc_min_seq() and fix cold/hot inversions" (Barry Song): Make MGLRU's generation advancement cheaper and fix cases where cold and hot folios end up in the wrong order. Adjust the counter and list handling so reclaim doesn't keep passing over the better eviction candidates. - "mm: Fix MF_DELAYED handling on memory failure" (Lisa Wang): Treat MF_DELAYED as a partially completed memory-failure operation, not an outright failure. Propagate that result correctly through shmem and the generic handler, fix the extra-reference accounting, and add tests for the resulting SIGBUS behavior. - "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix --sort, add module filter, improve usage" (Ye Liu): Fix page_owner_sort's --sort handling, add module-based filtering and make the usage output more helpful. This makes the tool less frustrating when tracking down who is holding on to pages. - "mm/damon: move damos filter range arguments validation to core" (SJ Park): Move DAMOS filter range validation into the core, where all callers can share it. Also close the sysfs read-twice races which could pass inconsistent ranges, and add tests for invalid input. - "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (Zenghui Yu): Clean up a collection of small DAMON rough edges in the core, interfaces and tests. No large behavior change here, just simpler code and fewer opportunities for confusion. - "mm/damon: cleanup code, add test cases, and update guidances in docs" (SJ Park): Clean up DAMON's core and interfaces, add missing test cases and bring the documentation into line with the code. These changes should make the newer facilities easier to understand and maintain. - "mm/damon: introduce hugepage_size probe filter" (SJ Park): Add a DAMON probe filter for hugepage size. Let users select a range of folio sizes through sysfs, validate the range and document the new interface, so monitoring can concentrate on memory backed by the desired hugepage sizes. - "selftests/mm: pagemap_ioctl test fixes and cleanups" (Zenghui Yu): Fix some pagemap ioctl test assumptions and clean up their setup and reporting. Make failures point to the operation that went wrong rather than to test harness bookkeeping. - "mm: avoid large folio splits when swap is unavailable" (Johannes Weiner): Avoid splitting large folios merely to attempt swap when no swap space is available. There is little point paying for an expensive split when reclaim cannot actually swap the resulting pages out. - "mm: workingset: fix the shadow node budget under MGLRU" (Hui Zhu): Fix the workingset shadow-node budget with MGLRU enabled. Keep the shadow entries within the intended limits so refault tracking does not quietly consume more metadata than it should. - "selftests/mm: TAP output and global-state fixes" (Song Hu): Fix selftests which produce misleading TAP output or fail to restore global settings after a run. A test ought to leave the system as it found it, particularly when a whole suite follows behind. - "mm: remove page_swap_entry()" (Tal Zussman): Remove page_swap_entry() and convert its remaining users to the folio and swap-entry helpers. Lose an old page-level interface and make the swap paths a little more consistent. - "mm: refactor zonelist constructors and iterators" (Gregory Price): Refactor the zonelist construction and walk helpers to reduce duplicated logic. Keep the allocation ordering rules intact while making it clearer how zones are selected. - "mm: kmemleak: batch the struct page scan" (Breno Leitao): Scan adjacent struct pages in batches instead of taking kmemleak_lock once for every single page. This preserves scan coverage and the lock-hold bound, while cutting overhead substantially on debug kernels. - "mm/damon: misc improvements in tests and documents" (Zenghui Yu): Fix some DAMON selftests which leave kdamond running or fail under Python safe-path mode, and improve the KUnit coverage and documentation. Nothing especially glamorous, but these are worth doing. - "mm/damon: introduce probe_hits_wsum DAMOS core filter" (SJ Park): Add a DAMOS core filter using weighted probe-hit counts. This gives schemes another way to select regions based on what the monitoring probes observed. - "mm/mglru: fix ineffective memory protection for non-kswapd reclaim" (Ridong Chen): Fix MGLRU's memory protection handling for reclaim outside kswapd. The protection settings weren't having the intended effect in these paths, leaving protected memory more exposed than requested. - "mm/damon: improve readability, clarity and test coverage" (SJ Park): Simplify a handful of DAMON core helpers, clarify their behavior and expand test coverage. There are no intended userspace-visible changes in this batch. - "mm: replace PF_KCOMPACTD/PF_KSWAPD with kthread_func()" (Kefeng Wang): Stop identifying reclaim and compaction workers through the PF_KSWAPD and PF_KCOMPACTD task flags. Use their kthread functions instead and remove the redundant flag plumbing. - "mm/hugetlb: fix surplus accounting and availability checks during demotion" (Longlong Xia): Fix HugeTLB surplus accounting and availability checks when demoting huge pages. Keep the counters and reservation decisions consistent as one huge page turns into several smaller ones. - "mm/damon: add kunit tests for probe_hits handling and probe params validation" (Jason Angelov): Add KUnit tests for DAMON probe-hit handling and invalid probe parameters. These cover edge cases that were too easy to miss in ordinary monitoring tests. - "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in kunit, quota goals and sysfs refresh_ms" (SJ Park): Fix a few DAMON bugs in KUnit tests, quota-goal handling and the sysfs refresh interval. Small fixes, but the incorrect results and control behavior were real. - "mm: zswap: optimize zswap invalidate and store" (Kefeng Wang): Simplify zswap's invalidate and store paths to avoid avoidable lookups and work. Keep the entry lifetime rules intact while making those frequent operations cheaper. - "mm: replace custom ratelimiting logic" (Pedro Falcato): Replace hand-rolled MM rate limiting with the common kernel helpers. There is no need to maintain another local version of the same mechanism. - "mm/vmalloc: minor cleanups" (Ye Liu): Tidy some vmalloc initialization and reporting code, and pull duplicated vmap-area insertion work into a helper. No functional changes are intended. - "mm/mglru: clean up isolate_folios for readability and clarity" (Ridong Chen): Clean up MGLRU's isolate_folios() so the decisions are easier to read and verify. Keep reclaim behavior unchanged while removing unnecessary twists in the control flow. - "Catch automatic storage in IDA and Maple Tree definitions" (Yury Norov): Catch IDA and maple-tree definitions placed in automatic storage where the lifetime rules are wrong or easy to get wrong. Add checks so such mistakes are harder to slip through unnoticed. - "mm, swap: some random fixes and cleanups" (Kemeng Shi): Fix and simplify a few unrelated swap paths, removing redundant work and tidying up error handling. A small collection of things which were better fixed than left lying around. - "mm/page_io: folio conversion cleanups" (Tal Zussman): Finish some page-to-folio conversions in swap I/O, removing obsolete wrappers and using folio operations consistently. The I/O behavior is intended to remain the same. - "mm/swap: skip empty clusters in the swapoff scan" (Youngjun Park): Skip empty swap clusters during swapoff instead of walking slots which have nothing to release. This avoids pointless work on sparsely used swap devices. - "mm: trace: decode architecture-specific VMA flags" (Meijing Zhao): Teach the VMA trace output to decode architecture-specific flags, rather than leaving them as unexplained bits. That should make tracing a good deal more useful when debugging unusual mappings. - "mm, swap: don't spin on a bad swap entry" (Breno Leitao): Stop repeatedly retrying a swap entry which is already known to be bad. Make the error path terminate cleanly instead of wasting CPU chasing an entry that cannot be used. - "mm/page_isolation: fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds in isolate_single_pageblock" (Qi Xi): Fix an out-of-range shift in isolate_single_pageblock() and tighten its associated boundary handling. UBSAN found the issue; the result should be more robust pageblock isolation. - "mm: khugepaged: fix tracepoint UAF" (Vernon Yang): Fix a use-after-free in khugepaged tracepoint handling. Make sure the information recorded by tracing stays valid for as long as the trace event needs it. - "mm/damon: fix DAMOS bugs in core, paddr and vaddr" (SJ Park): Fix several DAMOS problems across the core and physical- and virtual-address backends. The changes close error cases and bring the implementations back into agreement. - "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: move the per-node usage along with the folio" (Hongfu Li): Move HugeTLB per-node usage accounting when folios migrate between nodes or are reparented to another cgroup. Otherwise numa_stat can retain stale charges and even underflow when the folio is freed. - "docs/core-api: memory-allocation: add k[mz]alloc_obj() and clarify kmalloc" (Mike Rapoport): Document the typed k[mz]alloc_obj() allocation helpers and clear up some kmalloc guidance. Make it easier for callers to choose the right interface. - "selftests/mm: Validate selections and scope memfd_secret setup" (Tianyi Chen): Check selftest selections before running and confine memfd_secret setup to the cases that actually need it. Avoid confusing failures caused by the test harness itself. - "mm/damon: move zero damos quota target_value handling to the core layer" (SJ Park): Handle a zero DAMOS quota goal target in the core rather than making each user of the interface invent its own rule. Keep quota decisions consistent across callers. - "mm/damon: Introduce a huge page collapsing mechanism using auto tuning" (Asier Gutierrez): Add an auto-tuned DAMON mechanism for collapsing huge pages. Use monitoring feedback to decide when collapse is worthwhile rather than forcing one fixed policy onto every workload. - "kmemleak: fix stale documentation and raise the verbose default" (Breno Leitao): Bring the kmemleak documentation up to date and require a third confirming scan before verbose kernels print a suspected leak. The extra scan helps suppress transient false positives in noisy debug builds. - "mm/memory: improve insert_pages() error handling" (Avi Weiss): Tighten insert_pages() error handling so partial failures are reported and cleaned up consistently. The caller should not have to guess how far the operation got. - "mm/damon: allow NULL or unstarted damon_ctx parameter for damon_call()" (SJ Park): Make damon_call() handle NULL and not-yet-started contexts safely. Simplify the rules for callers and avoid an indefinite wait on an invalid state. - "mm/damon: introduce pgidle_set probe filter type" (SJ Park): Add a pgidle_set DAMON probe filter, giving monitoring users another way to select pages by their idle-tracking state. Wire it through the filter interfaces and tests. - "mm/damon/core: remove unused helper functions" (Cheng-Han Wu): Remove DAMON core helpers which no longer have callers. Keep the API surface smaller rather than retaining dead code just in case. - "mm: stop calling pmd_folio() on special PMDs" (Gregory Price): Avoid calling pmd_folio() on special PMD mappings that have no struct page. The old assumption could fault in procfs walkers; use the normal-folio checks and handle those mappings properly. - "mm: remove three unused helpers from mm.h" (Tal Zussman): Remove three unused helpers from mm.h. Fewer obsolete interfaces for the next person to stumble over. - "mm/damon: improvements in efficiency, error handling, documents" (Liew Rui Yan): Skip needless DAMOS quota work once the quota is full, propagate a missing sysfs error and tidy a couple of comments. The ignored error could make a monitoring-start request appear successful when it wasn't. - "docs/mm/damon/design: add explanation of nr_snapshots" (Liew Rui Yan): Explain DAMON's nr_snapshots accounting in the design documentation and straighten out the associated terminology. Make it clearer what users should expect from that counter. - "selftests/cgroup: fixes for test_zswap on single core VM" (Wilson Felipe Pereira): Fix two test_zswap failures on single-CPU VMs. Wait for the exiting child's cgroup to become unpopulated before reconfiguring it, and avoid another test assumption which breaks under constrained scheduling. - "docs/ksm: fix advisor documentation and comment" (Jinjiang Tu): Correct the KSM advisor documentation and a misleading code comment. Keep the description aligned with how the advisor actually works. - "Fix bugs in HugeTLB allocation when mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb() fails" (Ackerley Tng): Fix HugeTLB allocation cleanup when the memcg charge fails. Make sure failure exits undo what was allocated rather than leaving stale accounting or resources behind. - "mm, memcg: fix memory.peak reset clobbering other fds' watermark" (Ridong Chen): Fix memory.peak reset handling so resetting one file descriptor doesn't overwrite the watermark kept for another. Keep those per-open measurements independent as intended. - "mm: reject zone device folios in more folio walkers" (Gregory Price): Reject zone-device folios in page walkers that cannot safely handle them. Extend the existing checks rather than assuming every folio has ordinary system-memory backing. - "percpu: remove code with no effect" (Sang-Heon Jeon): Remove a few pieces of percpu code which no longer do anything. There is no reason to keep maintaining dead paths. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-10-19-21-33' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (539 commits) mm: shmem: assign a lock class to the unused huge shrinklist mm: vmscan: put rotation-missed folios at the LRU tail mm: kmemleak: scan the struct page array in MAX_SCAN_SIZE batches mm: kmemleak: move the struct page scan into a helper mm/damon: document that a zero sample_interval is accepted mm/damon: fix typos in comments mm/damon/sysfs: propagate damon_call() error in turn_damon_on mm/damon/core: skip quota score setup when the quota is full mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: test the size charged for a filter-trimmed region mm/damon/core: charge only the part of a region the filter left mm: disallow raw PFN mappings of huge/shared zeropage selftests/mm: zap whole PTE tables in the khugepaged race harness selftests/mm: add memory-pressure threads to the khugepaged race harness selftests/mm: race the collapse of windows with holes selftests/mm: add khugepaged race harness selftests/mm: check that one khugepaged pass collapses one window selftests/mm: run every supported collapse order by default selftests/mm: cover a shared-source collapse write race selftests/mm: parameterize the mixed-source collapse case by source order selftests/mm: add order-parameterized khugepaged collapse cases ...

Currently microblaze userprogs are built for whichever endianness is the default for the used toolchain. They may not be the correct one for the actually built kernel.

2026-10-11kbuild: Mark the gzip recipes as recursiveKees Cook
Since commit 48ebe1cbbeb51 ("kbuild: compress the kernel with pigz if available"), cmd_gzip runs pigz through scripts/jobserver-exec, which takes the job slots make has free. GNU Make passes the jobserver pipe only to recipes it treats as recursive, but leaves --jobserver-auth in MAKEFLAGS for all of them. The make 4.3 in CentOS Stream 9 also hides the pipe in sub-makes (a backport of the fix for GNU Make bug 58232), so jobserver-exec cannot open it, runs pigz on one thread, and prints: WARNING: Unable to reopen jobserver read-side pipe: FileNotFoundError(2, 'No such file or directory') Mark every recipe that can run cmd_gzip as recursive with "+", as commit ecab4115c44cc ("kbuild: mark `rustc` (and others) invocations as recursive") did for rustc. Besides the $(call if_changed,gzip) rules, this covers those that choose gzip through a variable: the built-in initramfs in usr/Makefile (which rcutorture's kvm.sh builds), the EFI zboot image, and the arm, csky, and mips compressed images. As with rustc, "make -n" now runs these recipes, including those that choose through a variable when they select another compressor. Also update the gzip entry in Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst, as suggested in review. Tested with GNU Make 4.3 plus CentOS Stream 9's make-4.3-cloexec.patch, GCC 16.2.0, and -j64, on ARCH=x86_64, arm64, and arm defconfig, and ARCH=x86_64 defconfig with a built-in initramfs: none of them prints the warning, and pigz gets the free job slots (-p 54, 64, and 50 for the kernel image). Without this change, the x86_64 builds print it for the kernel image and for the initramfs. Reported-by: Paul E.

2026-10-08mm: userland pgtable freeing is RCU-safe now, remove leftover bitsLorenzo Stoakes (ARM)
Now every architecture has been converted to support CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE, this configuration option no longer makes any sense to keep around. Therefore remove it, and remove all the dead code that existed for !CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE architectures previously. Additionally, CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE is no longer necessary, as all architectures instead use CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE when a custom __tlb_remove_table() is required, so remove this too. A number of architectures only enabled CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE if CONFIG_MMU was set, however the mmu_gather logic only actually does something meaningful if CONFIG_MMU is set (mmu_gather.c is only compiled in this case, for instance). As a result, there's no need to gate any of this logic on CONFIG_MMU explicitly. CONFIG_PT_RECLAIM however does have a strict dependency on CONFIG_MMU, so make this dependency explicit. Additionally, correct comments to remove references to non-RCU page table gathering and make it clear that this is not 'semi-RCU', nor has it been since commit 1fb3d8c20bfa ("mm/mmu_gather: replace IPI with synchronize_rcu() when batch allocation fails"). With this change in place the kernel policy is now that userspace page tables are freed after an RCU grace period, and thus it is now safe to unconditionally perform page table walks under RCU, safe in the knowledge that page tables will not be freed underneath the walker.

2026-10-08mm: enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE for arc, microblaze, xtensaLorenzo Stoakes (ARM)
Each of these architectures directly free page tables without routing these changes through tlb_remove_ptdesc(). The use of tlb_remove_ptdesc() is required for CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE to correctly free page tables under RCU, so simply update these architectures to use these functions. Since none of the architectures share page tables or do anything unusual, nothing complicated is required here. Therefore this is simply a mechanical change - convert __pud_free_tlb(), __pmd_free_tlb() and __pte_free_tlb() to use tlb_remove_ptdesc() as required. At the point this is in place, all mmu_gather page table freeing is performed under RCU, and thus MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE is selected for each architecture. Note that CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE is dependent on CONFIG_MMU for xtensa to reflect the fact that nommu does not implement page table gathering. This forms part of an overall effort to switch every architecture to this mode.

microblaze is missing a generic architecture-wide power off mechanism. To enable KUnit for microblaze it is necessary for KUnit to shut down the machine in a way that QEMU will recognize. The machines emulated by QEMU do not provide machine-specific power off functionality which could be used. However at least the petalogix-s3adsp1800 machine will abort if an unaligned instruction is executed. An ugly message will be printed but that is not an issue for KUnit.

When a default big-endian toolchain is used to build a little-endian kernel, that kernel will hang during delay calibration as 'jiffies' never changes.

arch_ptrace() accepts PTRACE_POKEUSR for every aligned offset below PT_SIZE. This includes the saved machine status register and pt_mode, which are kernel-owned execution state rather than general registers. On return from an exception, rtbd copies MSR_UMS to the live MSR_UM bit. An unprivileged same-UID tracer can therefore clear MSR_UMS in its tracee's saved register frame and make the tracee resume in supervisor mode. pt_mode also controls whether later entry paths classify the frame as kernel or user state.

2026-09-01microblaze: preserve the MSR carry flags across signalsSam Price
setup_sigcontext() and restore_sigcontext() copy r0-r31, pc, ear, esr and fsr to and from the signal frame but never touch MSR. The interrupted MSR is therefore dropped from the signal context entirely: the handler's ucontext does not expose it, a handler cannot adjust the resumed arithmetic flags through uc_mcontext.regs.msr, and -- because restore_sigcontext() leaves regs->msr as whatever the rt_sigreturn trap left in it -- the interrupted context resumes with the carry produced by the syscall entry path (_user_exception does "addi r14, r14, 4", which writes carry), not with its own. Other architectures round-trip the user-visible flags through the signal frame (arm's cpsr, csky's carry, x86's eflags), so a handler can both read and adjust the resumed flags; purely privileged status registers such as riscv's sstatus are left out. MicroBlaze should do the same for the user-writable bits. Concretely, MSR[C] (carry) is lost across signal delivery. Code that keeps a live carry across a point where a signal can be delivered -- for example an lwx/swx compare-and-swap retry loop, between the swx and the carry test -- resumes with the handler's carry and mis-evaluates the result; the same failure class as the rt_sigreturn r3/r4 clobber, reached through a different register. Demonstrated under qemu-system-microblazeel (machine petalogix-s3adsp1800): a handler that sets MSR_C in uc_mcontext.regs.msr has no effect before this change (0 of 132 in-window signals propagated) and takes effect after (130 of 132). Save MSR in setup_sigcontext() so the handler's ucontext exposes it. The signal frame is user-writable, so restore_sigcontext() must not restore it verbatim: MicroBlaze packs the user-writable carry (MSR_C, MSR_CC) and the privileged control bits (MSR_UM, MSR_VM, MSR_IE, MSR_EE, ...) into the one register, and a verbatim restore would let userspace alter privileged return state -- rtbd derives the resumed mode from MSR_UMS/MSR_VMS. Restore only MSR_C | MSR_CC from the frame and keep the rest from the current regs->msr. This mirrors x86's restore_sigcontext(), which masks the restored EFLAGS to FIX_EFLAGS for the same reason; arches whose status register is purely privileged (e.g. riscv sstatus) simply do not restore it at all. Comment on the exposed MSR reworded: it is not read-only, restore_sigcontext() applies MSR_C|MSR_CC from the frame. Author's Signed-off-by kept; he agreed to comment and changelog cleanups.

2026-09-01microblaze: restore the ABI argument home area below pt_regs (PTO)Ramin Moussavi
The MicroBlaze ABI has the caller reserve stack space for the arguments it passes in registers: REG_PARM_STACK_SPACE is 24 and OUTGOING_REG_PARM_STACK_SPACE is 1 in the gcc backend, so a callee may write to [caller_sp + 4, caller_sp + 28). The kernel calls C functions from entry.S with r1 pointing at pt_regs, handing the callee license to spill its incoming arguments over the saved registers -- the syscall dispatch is the worst case, where the first argument slot is PT_R1, the saved user stack pointer. This was latent until GCC 15: since 3b9b8d6cfdf5 ("ira: Scale save/restore costs of callee save registers with block frequency") the allocator prefers spilling incoming arguments over copying them into callee-saved registers, and a kernel built with gcc >= 15 (without the TARGET_CALLEE_SAVE_COST workaround some distributions carry) corrupts PT_R1 on the first syscall: init takes SIGSEGV and the kernel panics. The kernel had exactly this reservation until 2011: commit 6e83557c38b4 ("microblaze: Remove r0_ram pointer and PTO alignment") removed STATE_SAVE_ARG_SPACE and with it the PTO offset, as part of cleaning up what was thought to be copied-from-v850 leftovers. Restore it: the frame is STATE_SAVE_SIZE = PT_SIZE + PTO, r1 stays at the frame base through every asm-to-C call, and the saved registers are reached at r1 + PTO + PT_*. PTO is 28 rather than the historic 24, which was one word short: FIRST_PARM_OFFSET is 4 and REG_PARM_STACK_SPACE is 24, so the area spans [sp+4, sp+28) and needs 28 bytes. With 24 the last argument slot overlapped pt_regs' r0 -- harmless only because r0 is the constant-zero register. STACK_BOUNDARY is 32 bits, so 28 needs no further rounding. Two places deliberately keep their mainline addressing. hw_exception_handler.S needs no offset change: its real-mode handler saves into the standalone pt_pool_space buffer rather than a stack frame, and _unaligned_data_exception works through a pointer to pt_regs in r7, where plain PT_* offsets are already right. And the user-SP reload after popping the frame keeps PT_R1 - PT_SIZE because PTO cancels there: (PTO + PT_R1) - (PT_SIZE + PTO) = PT_R1 - PT_SIZE. Both are exactly as the pre-2011 code had them. The instruction count is unchanged -- the same instructions with different immediates, no per-call reservation and no trampolines. The cost is 28 bytes more kernel stack per saved frame.

2026-09-01microblaze: don't clobber r3/r4 restored by rt_sigreturnRamin Moussavi
ret_from_trap begins by storing the system call return values r3 and r4 back into the saved user pt_regs. That is right for an ordinary system call, but sys_rt_sigreturn() returns through the same path and has to be transparent: restore_sigcontext() has just filled pt_regs from the signal frame, and every register must reach userspace exactly as saved. The two stores overwrite the restored r3/r4 with whatever the C function left in those registers. Only r4 is actually lost, and that follows from how sigreturn is written everywhere rather than from chance. Architectures have sys_rt_sigreturn() return the restored return-value register precisely so that this writeback stores the restored value -- arm returns regs->ARM_r0, riscv and csky regs->a0, arc regs->r0 -- and microblaze does the same through *rval_p = regs->r3 in restore_sigcontext(). But the entry macros treat r3 and r4 as a pair, so ret_from_trap writes back two registers while a C function has only one return value; nothing carries the restored r4. Commit 791d0a169b91 ("microblaze: Fix sys_rt_sigreturn_wrapper") introduced this in v2.6.37. The old wrapper saved r3/r4 before the call and reloaded them from pt_regs afterwards; switching brlid to brid removed the only point where they were reloaded, and the stores have been overwriting them ever since. Fix it the way the sibling paths already behave: ret_from_irq and ret_from_exc restore the full register set and do not perform these stores at all. Label the instruction after the stores ret_from_trap_no_rval and enter there, biasing r15 by -8 so that the ABI return "rtsd r15, 8" lands on it; naming the entry rather than computing ret_from_trap + 8 keeps it correct if the number of stores ever changes. Restoring the old save/reload would work too, but costs four memory accesses and a branch to undo damage that is better not done. Any value the compiler keeps in r4 across a signal is lost. The tightest windows are the lwx/swx compare-and-swap retry loops gcc emits for atomics: in uClibc-ng's libc.so alone, 50 of 364 such loops hold the address in r4. This is not specific to one libc -- musl passes the address as "r"(p), and glibc has no microblaze atomic-machine.h and so uses gcc's __atomic builtins, which expand the same way. Triggering it needs threads plus a signal storm, which is why it survived 15 years. Reproduced on qemu-system-microblazeel (petalogix-s3adsp1800) by running the uClibc-ng NPTL test tst-eintr1 40 times against an unchanged userspace: on v7.2 built with gcc 16.2.0, 23 of 40 iterations died with SIGSEGV without this patch and 0 of 40 with it; on v7.0 built with gcc 12.5.0 the same comparison gave 6 of 40 against 0 of 40. The register dump of a failing iteration shows the signature: a zero r4 and a fault at address 0, while r3 came back intact.

2026-09-01microblaze: reserve the ABI argument-home area in the signal frameRamin Moussavi
The MicroBlaze procedure call standard reserves [r1+0] for the return address and lets a callee store its incoming register arguments r5..r10 into the caller-provided home slots at [r1+4]..[r1+24]. When the kernel enters a signal handler it sets r1 to point at struct rt_sigframe, whose leading member is the siginfo prepared for the handler. A handler that homes its arguments - which an unoptimised (-O0) build always does - therefore overwrites the first 24 bytes of that siginfo, so an SA_SIGINFO handler reads corrupted values. The stores stay within siginfo (128 bytes) and do not reach the ucontext behind it. Reserve the home area by making a seven-word gap -- the return-address slot plus the six argument slots, 28 bytes -- the first member of struct rt_sigframe, so the handler's argument stores land in scratch space instead of clobbering siginfo. Tested on qemu-system-microblazeel (petalogix-s3adsp1800) with the uClibc-ng NPTL test suite: tst-timer4, tst-timer5, tst-mqueue5 and tst-signal6 pass; before this change they failed because the handler clobbered the signal frame.

2026-09-01microblaze: wire up sigaltstackRamin Moussavi
sigaltstack is wired to sys_ni_syscall - microblaze is the only architecture without it - although the microblaze signal delivery code fully supports the alternate signal stack: get_sigframe() picks the stack via sigsp(), setup_rt_frame() saves it with __save_altstack() and sys_rt_sigreturn() calls restore_altstack().

Commit 88707ebe77e2 ("microblaze: Add custom break vector handler for mb manager") added the suspend mnemonic to the MB Manager break handler. GNU as only learned this mnemonic in binutils 2.42. Linux supports binutils 2.30, where enabling CONFIG_MB_MANAGER fails: arch/microblaze/kernel/entry.S:946: Error: unknown opcode "suspend" The suspend mnemonic is an alias for mbar 24, and both encode as 0xbb020004. Use the underlying instruction, which GNU as 2.30 already supports.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Make syscall user dispatching configurable Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching. Allow them to disable the feature completely. - Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the architectures using it. Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the non-instrumentable constraints of that code. Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry code using architecture over. - Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the return value functionality of those interfaces is not really intuitive. Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the syscall number through these mechanisms. This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite both the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem which cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be addressed by separating the storage model in the affected architectures. * tag 'core-entry-2026-08-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) entry, treewide: Make syscall_enter_from_user_mode[_work]() indicate syscall execution entry: Make return type of syscall_trace_enter() bool entry: Rework trace_syscall_enter() entry: Rework syscall_audit_enter() syscall_user_dispatch: Introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH entry: Fix seccomp bypass after ptrace with TSYNC x86/entry: Simplify the syscall number logic x86/entry: Get rid of the sys_ni_syscall() indirection x86/entry: Make syscall functions static ptrace, treewide: Rename ptrace_report_syscall_entry() to ptrace_report_syscall_permit_entry() seccomp, treewide: Rename and convert __secure_computing() to return boolean entry: Use syscall number instead of rereading it entry: Remove syscall_enter_from_user_mode() x86/syscall: Use [syscall_]enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() s390/syscall: Use enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() riscv/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() powerpc/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() loongarch/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() entry: Provide [syscall_]enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() randomize_kstack: Provide add_random_kstack_offset_irqsoff() ...

2026-08-04microblaze: restore the page alignment of swapper_pg_dirRamin Moussavi
microblaze handles TLB misses in software, and the handler builds the address of the L1 entry by ORing the index into the page directory base instead of adding it (hw_exception_handler.S): bsrli r5, r3, PGDIR_SHIFT - 2 andi r5, r5, PAGE_SIZE - 4 /* Assume pgdir aligned on 4K boundary, no need for "andi r4,r4,0xfffff003" */ or r4, r4, r5 lwi r4, r4, 0 /* Get L1 entry */ The index is masked to the low 12 bits, so the OR only works if those bits of the base are zero -- which is exactly the assumption the comment states and the reason the masking of the base can be skipped. swapper_pg_dir had no alignment directive of its own. It was aligned because it followed empty_zero_page in head.S, and that one carried the .align 12: .section .data .global empty_zero_page .align 12 empty_zero_page: .space PAGE_SIZE .global swapper_pg_dir swapper_pg_dir: .space PAGE_SIZE Commit 6215d9f4470f ("arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_page") removed empty_zero_page from head.S, and with it the .align 12 that -- despite sitting next to empty_zero_page -- was what page aligned swapper_pg_dir. Since then swapper_pg_dir lands wherever .data happens to put it, its low bits are no longer zero, and every kernel TLB miss ORs the index into a base with a nonzero offset. The resulting L1 lookups read the wrong words, no valid translation is ever installed, and the kernel spins in exceptions long before it can print anything. On qemu-system-microblazeel (petalogix-s3adsp1800) the console stays completely silent at 100% CPU; there is no oops and no guest error reported by qemu, which makes this awkward to diagnose. Give swapper_pg_dir the alignment it requires, rather than relying on a neighbour to provide it. microblaze has no noMMU variant left in mainline -- CONFIG_MMU is def_bool y and mmu_defconfig is the only defconfig -- so this is not a corner case: every mainline microblaze kernel since v7.1-rc1 fails to boot, including the v7.1 release. v7.0: swapper_pg_dir = 0xc05fd000 (aligned) v7.1-rc1: swapper_pg_dir = 0xc0603140 (offset 320) v7.1-rc1 + this fix: swapper_pg_dir = 0xc0604000 (aligned) next-20260726: swapper_pg_dir = 0xc0615140 (offset 320) next-20260726 + this fix: swapper_pg_dir = 0xc0616000 (aligned) Verified on qemu-system-microblazeel (petalogix-s3adsp1800) with mmu_defconfig and microblazeel gcc 12.5.0: v7.1-rc1 and next-20260726 both print nothing at all without the fix, and both boot to userspace with it.

However, all arches enable or disable them always together. Without the real use-case for one helper being inlined while the other outlined, having independent controls is excessive and error prone.

2026-05-21ring-buffer: Flush and stop persistent ring buffer on panicMasami Hiramatsu (Google)
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.

Patch series "change young flag check functions to return bool", v2. This is a cleanup patchset to change all young flag check functions to return bool, as discussed with David in the previous thread[1]. Since callers only care about whether the young flag was set, returning bool makes the intention clearer. No functional changes intended. This patch (of 6): Callers use ptep_test_and_clear_young() to clear the young flag and check whether it was set. Change the return type to bool to make the intention clearer.

2026-04-05arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_pageMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
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 :) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20260211103141.3215197-4-rppt@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) <rppt@kernel.org> Acked-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> [parisc] Tested-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> [parisc] Reviewed-by: Christophe Leroy (CS GROUP) <chleroy@kernel.org> Acked-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Acked-by: Magnus Lindholm <linmag7@gmail.com> [alpha] Acked-by: Dinh Nguyen <dinguyen@kernel.org> [nios2] Acked-by: Andreas Larsson <andreas@gaisler.com> [sparc] Acked-by: David Hildenbrand (Arm) <david@kernel.org> Acked-by: Liam R.

2026-01-26arch, mm: consolidate initialization of nodes, zones and memory mapMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
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.

Move calculations of zone limits to a dedicated arch_zone_limits_init() function. Later MM core will use this function as an architecture specific callback during nodes and zones initialization and thus there won't be a need to call free_area_init() from every architecture.

2026-01-22rseq: Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()Thomas Gleixner
Provide a new syscall which has the only purpose to yield the CPU after the kernel granted a time slice extension. sched_yield() is not suitable for that because it unconditionally schedules, but the end of the time slice extension is not required to schedule when the task was already preempted. This also allows to have a strict check for termination to catch user space invoking random syscalls including sched_yield() from a time slice extension region.

2026-01-20treewide: provide a generic clear_user_page() variantDavid Hildenbrand
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.

2025-09-25arch: Add the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS to all the asm-offsets.cMenglong Dong
The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can happen. For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h, which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first, it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included by it. In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h". And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this purpose. Signed-off-by: Menglong Dong <dongml2@chinatelecom.cn> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org>

2025-09-12microblaze: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in non-uapi headersThomas Huth
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 on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now. This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement).

2025-09-01arch: copy_thread: pass clone_flags as u64Simon Schuster
With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags. However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not changed from the previous type of unsigned long. While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits (CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise. Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of the copy_thread function that is called from copy_process to consistently pass clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on 32-bit architectures.
