git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm 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. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-10-25-19-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (213 commits) mm: multi-gen LRU: fix NULL lruvec->pgdat deref with memcg disabled on cmdline mm/page_counter: use WRITE_ONCE() for emin/elow when parent is the root mm/memcontrol: publish null pointer before dropping css reference test_maple_tree: test maple_range_64 node in RCU mode maple_tree: fix maple_range_64 crashes in RCU mode mm/vma: avoid broken uffd merge on mremap tools/testing/shared: catch a failed posix_memalign() mm/damon/core: remove unreachable damos charge_{target,addr}_from mm/shrinker: allocate shrinker_info_unit from a dedicated kmem_cache riscv: mm: exclude invalid THP PMDs from page table check mm/damon/core: filter out damos address filter-split failed region fs/proc/task_mmu: pin mm_users in do_pagemap_scan() mm/mempolicy: apply bind policies against the scoped allocation zone mm/vmscan: reclaim every zone in per-node proactive reclaim mm/mremap: correctly uncharge accountable VMAs in error path mm/mremap: populate calculated fields in vrm state correctly MAINTAINERS: add an entry for MEMORY MANAGEMENT - MEMORY MAP mm: bdi: reset min_ratio after the sysfs attributes are gone mm/page_vma_mapped: continue past nonmatching huge PMDs selftests/mm: skip hugetlb cgroup v2 tests without the needed controllers ...

2026-10-24sh: remove CONFIG_NUMA and related configuration optionsMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
Patch series "sh: remove NUMA and SPARSEMEM support", v2. NUMA support for SuperH was introduced a long time ago by commit b241cb0c885e ("sh: Support for multiple nodes.") "... for boards with many different memory blocks that are otherwise unused (SH7722/SH7785 URAM and so forth)" In reality, this added 128K of memory on sh7722 and sh7785 and 256K on shx3 at the expense of all the NUMA related code in the kernel. For build of v7.0-rc7 with defconfig and the same configuration with CONFIG_NUMA disabled, bloat-o-meter reports difference of ~76k. Disabling CONFIG_SPARSMEM on top increases the difference to ~94k. And that's only overhead in code and static data that does not take into the account data structures allocated at run time. And all this overhead has been there for nothing for almost 8 years because since commit ac21fc2dcb40 ("sh: switch to NO_BOOTMEM") those additional "nodes" could not be used by the core MM because the maximal pfn for ZONE_NORMAL was cut out at the end of the normal memory.

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.

2026-10-21sh: Select BINFMT_FLAT_NO_DATA_START_OFFSET for !MMUWaldemar Brodkorb
binfmt_flat offsets the in-memory start of the data segment by MAX_SHARED_LIBS words and then aligns it to FLAT_DATA_ALIGN, so FLAT_FLAG_RAM binaries end up with a gap between text and data (commit 2217b9826246 ("binfmt_flat: revert "binfmt_flat: don't offset the data start"")). SH position-independent code finds the GOT with a PC-relative mova of _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_, which assumes data follows text directly, as elf2flt lays out the image. With the gap, the GOT register points below the real GOT, so every GOT load reads the neighbouring slot and gets a wrong pointer. On a J2 (sh2eb, no MMU) this made userland crash or hang right after start-up. In my case the data was moved up by 0x20 bytes. Commit 04d82a6d0881 ("binfmt_flat: allow not offsetting data start") added CONFIG_BINFMT_FLAT_NO_DATA_START_OFFSET for architectures that cannot tolerate such a gap; currently only riscv !MMU selects it. Select it on SH as well when building without an MMU. Tested on a J2 board (Numato Mimas V2, sh2eb, no MMU) with Linux 7.3 and FLAT binaries built with elf2flt: with this change the data segment starts exactly at the end of text and init runs.

2026-10-13sh: sh7785lcr: Register the PCA9564 controller as I2C bus 0Karl Mehltretter
Before commit 44454baa7ca7 ("i2c: Dynamically assign adapter id if it wasn't explictly specified"), a negative ID was replaced by zero, and I2C bus zero was instantiated. Since that commit, a negative ID is passed verbatim, instantiating an I2C bus with a dynamic number. As SH boards still use i2c_register_board_info(0, ...) to register I2C devices, they rely on the I2C bus being bus zero. The SH7785LCR is the only SH board whose I2C adapter has a negative ID and its PCA9564 controller becomes i2c-1, causing registration of the R2025S/D RTC to fail and hwclock not detecting /dev/rtc0. Set the platform device ID to 0 so that the adapter is registered as bus zero again.

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. This is all that is guaranteed, however, so naturally it is still incumbent upon page table walkers to ensure that the page table entries are as expected.

2026-10-08mm: enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE for sh-X2Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)
Currently, non-x2 sh specifies CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE allowing RCU page table freeing. sh-X2 is problematic because it utilises slab-allocated PMD page tables, and thus tlb_remove_ptdesc() cannot be used in these cases. All other sh variants are fine as commit e3ecf7c7d082 ("mm: pgtable: convert some architectures to use tlb_remove_ptdesc()") already converted page table freeing to use tlb_remove_ptdesc(), which does so after an RCU grace period when CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE is specified. Resolve this issue by firstly specifying CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE for sh-X2, so the arch can provide its own __tlb_remove_table() implementation (called after the RCU grace period). Then, convert __pmd_free_tlb() to tag the pointer to the PMD, and have __tlb_remove_table() check this tag to determine whether to free via the slab or to use pagetable_dtor_free(). This follows the pattern used by sparc64 as implemented in commit 4a0100f7546f ("sparc64: use RCU page table freeing"). Previously __pmd_free_tlb() freed PMD page tables immediately, before any TLB flush IPI. This seems to be a pre-existing bug, which this change also resolves. CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE is only specified for sh-X2, as setting it disables CONFIG_PT_RECLAIM and causes __tlb_remove_table_one() to call tlb_remove_table_sync_rcu() and synchronize_rcu() in turn, and this is not necessary for other sh variants.

2026-10-08mm: enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE for most 2-level architecturesLorenzo Stoakes (ARM)
Commit e3ecf7c7d082 ("mm: pgtable: convert some architectures to use tlb_remove_ptdesc()") updated a number of architectures from using pagetable_dtor() + tlb_remove_page_ptdesc() to using tlb_remove_ptdesc() in __pte_free_tlb(). This is meaningful as tlb_remove_ptdesc() allows for RCU page table freeing if CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE is specified. The csky, hexagon, nios2, openrisc, sh (except X2) and m68k-sun3 architectures all have 2 levels of page tables, so the only page tables ever freed by mmu_gather are PTEs, so this update suffices to ensure that every page table freed by the mmu_gather mechanism is freed under RCU. Therefore, update all of these architectures to select CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE. This forms part of an overall effort to switch every architecture to this mode.

2026-10-06sh: Emulate two-byte cmpxchgBradley Morgan
SH has no byte or halfword atomic memory operations, so the __cmpxchg() switch routes case 1 through cmpxchg_emu_u8() and lets case 2 fall through to __cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer(), which is declared but never defined, so a two-byte cmpxchg() fails at link time. Route case 2 through the new cmpxchg_emu_u16(), which takes the old and new values as unsigned long, so the (unsigned long) casts move off the call and into _old_ and _new_ declarations that type check the old and new arguments against *ptr through (unsigned long)(0 ? *ptr : _o_), the idiom David Laight suggested, so cmpxchg(&p, 4, 5) no longer compiles silently.

This base+4 requires an offsettable address, but "m" also allows the indexed mode @(R0,Rn) (e.g. for a variable- indexed array element), which has no displacement field for the +4. Depending on optimization this build fails with "invalid 'asm'" or an ICE in GCC's change_address_1.

Convert the board to use static device properties instead of platform data to describe the touchscreen, so that support for platform data can be removed from tsc2007 driver (ecovec24 is the last board using this mechanism of describing tsc2007). Device properties do not allow custom board methods, so the method for getting "pen down" state was removed (the driver is capable of working without it). If this functionality is needed proper pin control/gpio support needs to be implemented so that the same pin can serve as an input GPIO and an interrupt.

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() ...

This branch is based on the immutable ib-mfd-legacy-gpio-7.3 branch from mfd.git to avoid a conflict in the rohm drivers.
2026-07-24sh: replace linux/gpio.h inclusionsArnd Bergmann
linux/gpio.h should no longer be used, convert these instead to linux/gpio/legacy.h for the sh boards using the legacy interfaces, or remove it where it is not needed at all.

2026-07-24sh: select legacy gpiolib interfaceArnd Bergmann
Many board files on sh reference the legacy gpiolib interfaces that are becoming optional. To ensure the boards can keep building, select CONFIG_GPIOLIB_LEGACY on each of the boards that have one of the hardcoded calls.

2026-07-12seccomp, treewide: Rename and convert __secure_computing() to return booleanJinjie Ruan
The return value of __secure_computing() currently uses 0 to indicate that a system call should be allowed, and -1 to indicate that it should be blocked/killed. This 0/-1 pattern is non-intuitive for a security check function and makes the control flow at the call sites less readable. Furthermore, any potential future changes to these return values would require a high-risk, error-prone audit of all its users across different architectures. Sanitize this logic by converting the return type of __secure_computing() to a proper boolean, where 'true' explicitly means 'allow' and 'false' means 'fail/deny'. Update all the two dozen or so call sites across the tree to align with this new boolean semantic. No functional changes are intended, as the callers still return -1 to the lower-level assembly entry code upon seccomp denial. Rename the function to __seccomp_permit_syscall() so that the purpose is entirely clear.

In this chapter: - don't use rtnl_lock for IPv6 multicast routing configuration - don't take rtnl_lock in ethtool for modern drivers - prepare Qdisc dump callbacks for rtnl_lock removal - Support dumping just ifindex + name of all interfaces, under RCU. It's a common operation for Netlink CLI tools (when translating names to ifindexes) and previously required full rtnl_lock. - Support dumping qdiscs and page pools for a specific netdev. Even tho user space wants a dump of all netdevs, most of the time, the OOO programming model results in repeating the dump for each netdev. Which, in absence of a cache, leads to a O(n^2) behavior. - Flush nexthops once on multi-nexthop removal (e.g. when device goes down), another O(n^2) -> O(n) improvement. - Rehash locally generated traffic to a different nexthop on retransmit timeout. - Honor oif when choosing nexthop for locally generated IPv6 traffic. - Convert TCP Auth Option to crypto library, and drop non-RFC algos. - Increase subflow limits in MPTCP to 64 and endpoint limit to 256. - Support MPTCP signaling of IPv6 address + port (ADD_ADDR). We need to selectively skip reporting of the standard TCP Timestamp option, because they won't fit into the header space together (12 + 30 > 40). - Support using bridge neighbor suppression, Duplicate Address Detection, Gratuitous ARP and unsolicited NA forwarding - in EVPN deployments, e.g. VXLAN fabrics (IPv4 and IPv6). - Improve link state reporting for upper netdevs (e.g. macvlan) over tunnel devices (again, mostly for EVPN deployments). - Support binding GENEVE tunnels to a local address. - Speed up UDP tunnel destruction (remove one synchronize_rcu()). - Support exponential field encoding in multicast (IGMPv3 and MLDv2). - Support attaching PSP crypto offload to containers (veth, netkit). - Add a new IPSec Netlink message XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE that allows migrating individual IPsec SAs independently of their policies. The existing XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE is tightly coupled to policy+SA migration, lacks SPI for unique SA identification, and cannot express reqid changes or migrate Transport mode selectors. The new interface identifies the SA via SPI and mark, supports reqid changes, address family changes, encap removal, and uses an atomic create+install flow under x->lock to prevent SN/IV reuse during AEAD SA migration. - Implement GRO/GSO support for PPPoE. - Convert sockopt callbacks in a number of protocols to iov_iter. Cross-tree stuff: - Remove support for Crypto TFM cloning (unblocked after the TCP Auth Option rework). This feature regressed performance for all crypto API users, since it changed crypto transformation objects into reference-counted objects. - Add FCrypt-PCBC implementation to rxrpc and remove it from the global crypto API as obsolete and insecure. Wireless: - Major rework of station bandwidth handling, fixing issues with lower capability than AP. - Cleanups for EMLSR spec issues (drafts differed). - More Neighbor Awareness Networking (Wi-Fi Aware) work (multicast, schedule improvements, multi-station etc.) - Some Ultra High Reliability (UHR) / IEEE 802.11bn (D1.4) work (e.g. non-primary channel access, UHR DBE support). - Fine Timing Measurement ranging (i.e. distance measurement) APIs. Netfilter: - Use per-rule hash initval in nf_conncount. This avoids unnecessary lock contention with short keys (e.g. conntrack zones) in different namespaces. - Various safety improvements, both in packet parsing and object lifetimes. Notably add refcounts to conntrack timeout policy. Deletions: - Remove TLS + sockmap integration. TLS wants to pin user pages to avoid a copy, and sockmap wants to write to the input stream. More work on this integration is clearly needed, and we can't find any users (original author admitted that they never deployed it). - Remove support for TLS offload with TCP Offload Engine (the far more common opportunistic offload is retained). The locking looks unfixable (driver sleeps under TCP spin locks) and people from the vendor that added this are AWOL. - Remove more ATM code, trying to leave behind only what PPPoATM needs, AAL5 and br2684 with permanent circuits. - Remove AppleTalk. Let it join hamradio in our out of tree protocol graveyard, I mean, repository. - Disable 32-bit x_tables compatibility (32bit binaries on 64bit kernel) interface in user namespaces.

AppleTalk has been removed in MacOS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), in 2009, according to Wikipedia. We recently got a burst of AI generated fixes to this protocol which nobody is reviewing. Let AppleTalk follow AX.25 and hamradio out of the Linux tree. We we will maintain the code at: github.com/linux-netdev/mod-orphan for anyone interested in playing with it. Retain the uAPI for now. No strong reason, simply because I suspect keeping it will be less controversial.

gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull interrupt core updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Rework of /proc/interrupt handling: /proc/interrupts was subject to micro optimizations for a long time, but most of the low hanging fruit was left on the table. This rework addresses the major time consuming issues: - Printing a long series of zeros one by one via a format string instead of counting subsequent zeros and emitting a string constant. - Simplify and cache the conditions whether interrupts should be printed - Use a proper iteration over the interrupt descriptor xarray instead of walking and testing one by one. - Provide helper functions for the architecture code to emit the architecture specific counters - Convert the counter structure in x86 to an array, which simplifies the output and add mechanisms to suppress unused architecture interrupts, which just occupy space for nothing. Adopt the new core mechanisms. This adjusts the gdb scripts related to interrupt counter statistics to work with the new mechanisms. - Prevent a string overflow in the /proc/irq/$N/ directory name creation code. * tag 'irq-core-2026-06-13' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/irq: Add missing 's' back to thermal event printout genirq/proc: Speed up /proc/interrupts iteration genirq/proc: Runtime size the chip name genirq: Expose irq_find_desc_at_or_after() in core code genirq: Add rcuref count to struct irq_desc genirq/proc: Increase default interrupt number precision to four genirq: Calculate precision only when required genirq: Cache the condition for /proc/interrupts exposure genirq/manage: Make NMI cleanup RT safe genirq: Expose nr_irqs in core code scripts/gdb: Update x86 interrupts to the array based storage x86/irq: Move IOAPIC misrouted and PIC/APIC error counts into irq_stats x86/irq: Suppress unlikely interrupt stats by default x86/irq: Make irqstats array based genirq/proc: Utilize irq_desc::tot_count to avoid evaluation genirq/proc: Avoid formatting zero counts in /proc/interrupts x86/irq: Optimize interrupts decimals printing genirq/proc: Size interrupt directory names for 10-digit interrupt numbers
2026-06-09crypto: pcbc - Remove support for PCBC modeEric Biggers
The only user of PCBC mode (Propagating Cipher Block Chaining mode) was net/rxrpc/rxkad.c, which now uses local code instead. While PCBC was an interesting cryptographic experiment, it has largely been relegated to the history books and academic exercises. It is non-parallelizable (i.e., very slow) and doesn't actually achieve the integrity properties it was apparently intended to achieve. Remove support for it from the crypto API.

2026-06-09crypto: fcrypt - Remove support for FCrypt block cipherEric Biggers
Remove the insecure FCrypt block cipher from the crypto API. Its only user was net/rxrpc/, but now net/rxrpc/ implements it locally. The crypto API implementation is no longer needed. For some additional context: FCrypt was designed in 1988 and is essentially a weakened version of DES. It has the same 56-bit key size as DES, which is easily brute forced. Moreover, it's cryptographically weak and doesn't even provide the intended 56-bit security level. Its author considers it to be a mistake, as well (https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-devel/2000-December/005320.html). But fortunately this 1980s-era homebrew block cipher was never adopted outside of net/rxrpc/. So its code can just be kept there.

2026-06-02sh: Drop cache flush of the zero page at bootArd Biesheuvel
SuperH performs cache maintenance on the zero page during boot, presumably because before commit 6215d9f4470f ("arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_page") the zero page did double duty as a boot params region, and was cleared separately, as it was not part of BSS. The memset() in question was dropped by that commit, but the __flush_wback_region() call remained. As empty_zero_page[] has been moved to BSS, it can be treated as any other BSS memory, and so the cache flush can be dropped.
