2026-02-21Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL argumentsLinus Torvalds
This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2026-02-21Convert 'alloc_flex' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argumentLinus Torvalds
This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex() interface. As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather than 'objs*'.

2026-02-21Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argumentLinus Torvalds
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2026-02-21treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar typesKees Cook
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>

2026-02-18x86/hyperv: Reserve 3 interrupt vectors used exclusively by MSHVMukesh Rathor
MSVC compiler, used to compile the Microsoft Hypervisor, currently has an assert intrinsic that uses interrupt vector 0x29 to create an exception. This will cause hypervisor to then crash and collect core. As such, if this interrupt number is assigned to a device by Linux and the device generates it, hypervisor will crash. There are two other such vectors hard coded in the hypervisor, 0x2C and 0x2D for debug purposes. Fortunately, the three vectors are part of the kernel driver space and that makes it feasible to reserve them early so they are not assigned later.

2026-02-18x86/kexec: Copy ACPI root pointer address from config tableArd Biesheuvel
Dave reports that kexec may fail when the first kernel boots via the EFI stub but without EFI runtime services, as in that case, the RSDP address field in struct bootparams is never assigned. Kexec copies this value into the version of struct bootparams that it provides to the incoming kernel, which may have no other means to locate the ACPI root pointer. So take the value from the EFI config tables if no root pointer has been set in the first kernel's struct bootparams.

2026-02-18x86/xen: Fix Xen PV guest bootJuergen Gross
A recent patch moving the call of sparse_init() to common mm code broke booting as a Xen PV guest. Reason is that the Xen PV specific boot code relied on struct page area being accessible rather early, but this changed by the move of the call of sparse_init(). Fortunately the fix is rather easy: there is a static branch available indicating whether struct page contents are usable by Xen. This static branch just needs to be tested in some places for avoiding the access of struct page.

2026-02-18x86/hyperv: Remove ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT with VMMCALL insnUros Bizjak
Unlike CALL instruction, VMMCALL does not push to the stack, so it's OK to allow the compiler to insert it before the frame pointer gets set up by the containing function. ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT is for CALLs that must be inserted after the frame pointer is set up, so it is over-constraining here and can be removed.

This however was a lot of code (~3K lines) in order to support KVM, and also blocked several features. The biggest advantages is that the page size of userspace is completely independent of the page size used by the guest: userspace can mix normal pages, THPs and hugetlbfs as it sees fit, and in fact transparent hugepages were not possible before. It's also now possible to have nested guests and guests with huge pages running on the same host - Maintainership change for s390 vfio-pci - Small quality of life improvement for protected guests x86: - Add support for giving the guest full ownership of PMU hardware (contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allowing direct access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model). KVM still intercepts access to control registers, e.g. to enforce event filtering and to prevent the guest from profiling sensitive host state. This is more accurate, since it has no risk of contention and thus dropped events, and also has significantly less overhead. For more information, see the commit message for merge commit bf2c3138ae36 ("Merge tag 'kvm-x86-pmu-6.20' ...") - Disallow changing the virtual CPU model if L2 is active, for all the same reasons KVM disallows change the model after the first KVM_RUN - Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly reject host accesses to PV MSRs when running with KVM_CAP_ENFORCE_PV_FEATURE_CPUID enabled, even if those were advertised as supported to userspace, - Fix a bug with protected guest state (SEV-ES/SNP and TDX) VMs, where KVM would attempt to read CR3 configuring an async #PF entry - Fail the build if EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL or EXPORT_SYMBOL is used in KVM (for x86 only) to enforce usage of EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM_INTERNAL. Only a few exports that are intended for external usage, and those are allowed explicitly - When checking nested events after a vCPU is unblocked, ignore -EBUSY instead of WARNing. Userspace can sometimes put the vCPU into what should be an impossible state, and spurious exit to userspace on -EBUSY does not really do anything to solve the issue - Also throw in the towel and drop the WARN on INIT/SIPI being blocked when vCPU is in Wait-For-SIPI, which also resulted in playing whack-a-mole with syzkaller stuffing architecturally impossible states into KVM - Add support for new Intel instructions that don't require anything beyond enumerating feature flags to userspace - Grab SRCU when reading PDPTRs in KVM_GET_SREGS2 - Add WARNs to guard against modifying KVM's CPU caps outside of the intended setup flow, as nested VMX in particular is sensitive to unexpected changes in KVM's golden configuration - Add a quirk to allow userspace to opt-in to actually suppress EOI broadcasts when the suppression feature is enabled by the guest (currently limited to split IRQCHIP, i.e. userspace I/O APIC). Sadly, simply fixing KVM to honor Suppress EOI Broadcasts isn't an option as some userspaces have come to rely on KVM's buggy behavior (KVM advertises Supress EOI Broadcast irrespective of whether or not userspace I/O APIC supports Directed EOIs) - Clean up KVM's handling of marking mapped vCPU pages dirty - Drop a pile of *ancient* sanity checks hidden behind in KVM's unused ASSERT() macro, most of which could be trivially triggered by the guest and/or user, and all of which were useless - Fold "struct dest_map" into its sole user, "struct rtc_status", to make it more obvious what the weird parameter is used for, and to allow fropping these RTC shenanigans if CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=n - Bury all of ioapic.h, i8254.h and related ioctls (including KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP) behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y - Add a regression test for recent APICv update fixes - Handle "hardware APIC ISR", a.k.a. SVI, updates in kvm_apic_update_apicv() to consolidate the updates, and to co-locate SVI updates with the updates for KVM's own cache of ISR information - Drop a dead function declaration - Minor cleanups x86 (Intel): - Rework KVM's handling of VMCS updates while L2 is active to temporarily switch to vmcs01 instead of deferring the update until the next nested VM-Exit. The deferred updates approach directly contributed to several bugs, was proving to be a maintenance burden due to the difficulty in auditing the correctness of deferred updates, and was polluting "struct nested_vmx" with a growing pile of booleans - Fix an SGX bug where KVM would incorrectly try to handle EPCM page faults, and instead always reflect them into the guest. Since KVM doesn't shadow EPCM entries, EPCM violations cannot be due to KVM interference and can't be resolved by KVM - Fix a bug where KVM would register its posted interrupt wakeup handler even if loading kvm-intel.ko ultimately failed - Disallow access to vmcb12 fields that aren't fully supported, mostly to avoid weirdness and complexity for FRED and other features, where KVM wants enable VMCS shadowing for fields that conditionally exist - Print out the "bad" offsets and values if kvm-intel.ko refuses to load (or refuses to online a CPU) due to a VMCS config mismatch x86 (AMD): - Drop a user-triggerable WARN on nested_svm_load_cr3() failure - Add support for virtualizing ERAPS. Note, correct virtualization of ERAPS relies on an upcoming, publicly announced change in the APM to reduce the set of conditions where hardware (i.e. KVM) *must* flush the RAP - Ignore nSVM intercepts for instructions that are not supported according to L1's virtual CPU model - Add support for expedited writes to the fast MMIO bus, a la VMX's fastpath for EPT Misconfig - Don't set GIF when clearing EFER.SVME, as GIF exists independently of SVM, and allow userspace to restore nested state with GIF=0 - Treat exit_code as an unsigned 64-bit value through all of KVM - Add support for fetching SNP certificates from userspace - Fix a bug where KVM would use vmcb02 instead of vmcb01 when emulating VMLOAD or VMSAVE on behalf of L2 - Misc fixes and cleanups x86 selftests: - Add a regression test for TPR<=>CR8 synchronization and IRQ masking - Overhaul selftest's MMU infrastructure to genericize stage-2 MMU support, and extend x86's infrastructure to support EPT and NPT (for L2 guests) - Extend several nested VMX tests to also cover nested SVM - Add a selftest for nested VMLOAD/VMSAVE - Rework the nested dirty log test, originally added as a regression test for PML where KVM logged L2 GPAs instead of L1 GPAs, to improve test coverage and to hopefully make the test easier to understand and maintain guest_memfd: - Remove kvm_gmem_populate()'s preparation tracking and half-baked hugepage handling. SEV/SNP was the only user of the tracking and it can do it via the RMP - Retroactively document and enforce (for SNP) that KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE and KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION require the source page to be 4KiB aligned, to avoid non-trivial complexity for something that no known VMM seems to be doing and to avoid an API special case for in-place conversion, which simply can't support unaligned sources - When populating guest_memfd memory, GUP the source page in common code and pass the refcounted page to the vendor callback, instead of letting vendor code do the heavy lifting. Doing so avoids a looming deadlock bug with in-place due an AB-BA conflict betwee mmap_lock and guest_memfd's filemap invalidate lock Generic: - Fix a bug where KVM would ignore the vCPU's selected address space when creating a vCPU-specific mapping of guest memory.

KVM mediated PMU support for 6.20 Add support for mediated PMUs, where KVM gives the guest full ownership of PMU hardware (contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allows direct access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model), but intercepts access to control registers, e.g. to enforce event filtering and to prevent the guest from profiling sensitive host state. To keep overall complexity reasonable, mediated PMU usage is all or nothing for a given instance of KVM (controlled via module param). The Mediated PMU is disabled default, partly to maintain backwards compatilibity for existing setup, partly because there are tradeoffs when running with a mediated PMU that may be non-starters for some use cases, e.g. the host loses the ability to profile guests with mediated PMUs, the fastpath run loop is also a blind spot, entry/exit transitions are more expensive, etc. Versus the emulated PMU, where KVM is "just another perf user", the mediated PMU delivers more accurate profiling and monitoring (no risk of contention and thus dropped events), with significantly less overhead (fewer exits and faster emulation/programming of event selectors) E.g. when running Specint-2017 on a single-socket Sapphire Rapids with 56 cores and no-SMT, and using perf from within the guest: Perf command: a. basic-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 6-instructions -a --overwrite b. multiplex-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 10-instructions -a --overwrite Guest performance overhead: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Test case | emulated vPMU | all passthrough | passthrough with | | | | | event filters | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | basic-sampling | 33.62% | 4.24% | 6.21% | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | multiplex-sampling | 79.32% | 7.34% | 10.45% | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

KVM x86 APIC-ish changes for 6.20 - Fix a benign bug where KVM could use the wrong memslots (ignored SMM) when creating a vCPU-specific mapping of guest memory. - Clean up KVM's handling of marking mapped vCPU pages dirty. - Drop a pile of *ancient* sanity checks hidden behind in KVM's unused ASSERT() macro, most of which could be trivially triggered by the guest and/or user, and all of which were useless. - Fold "struct dest_map" into its sole user, "struct rtc_status", to make it more obvious what the weird parameter is used for, and to allow burying the RTC shenanigans behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y. - Bury all of ioapic.h and KVM_IRQCHIP_KERNEL behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y. - Add a regression test for recent APICv update fixes. - Rework KVM's handling of VMCS updates while L2 is active to temporarily switch to vmcs01 instead of deferring the update until the next nested VM-Exit. The deferred updates approach directly contributed to several bugs, was proving to be a maintenance burden due to the difficulty in auditing the correctness of deferred updates, and was polluting "struct nested_vmx" with a growing pile of booleans. - Handle "hardware APIC ISR", a.k.a. SVI, updates in kvm_apic_update_apicv() to consolidate the updates, and to co-locate SVI updates with the updates for KVM's own cache of ISR information. - Drop a dead function declaration.

KVM guest_memfd changes for 6.20 - Remove kvm_gmem_populate()'s preparation tracking and half-baked hugepage handling, and instead rely on SNP (the only user of the tracking) to do its own tracking via the RMP. - Retroactively document and enforce (for SNP) that KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE and KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION require the source page to be 4KiB aligned, to avoid non-trivial complexity for a non-existent usecase (and because in-place conversion simply can't support unaligned sources). - When populating guest_memfd memory, GUP the source page in common code and pass the refcounted page to the vendor callback, instead of letting vendor code do the heavy lifting. Doing so avoids a looming deadlock bug with in-place due an AB-BA conflict betwee mmap_lock and guest_memfd's filemap invalidate lock.

2026-02-10x86: keep legacy generated vdso files around in .gitignore fileLinus Torvalds
Commit 93d73005bff4 ("x86/entry/vdso: Rename vdso_image_* to vdso*_image") updated the vdso .gitignore file with the new filenames, which is certainly not incorrect. However, while adding new generated names is obviously the right thing to do, you should *not* immediately remove the old filenames from the .gitignore file when things move around or get renamed, because people still have those old generated files in their build trees - and they haven't suddenly become valid files to commit to the repository just because they were moved or renamed. While it's mostly just a slight visual nuisance for 'git status' that can be fixed up with a clean build tree, it can become more serious than that: see for example commit 04a3389b3535 ("Remove stale generated 'genheaders' file"). That commit removed up a stale generated file that had been carelessly committed by a kernel developer because it wasn't properly ignored any more and thus showed up as a new file in their tree.

As this are scalar values __builtin_memcpy() turns them into simple loads and stores - Use __typeof_unqual__() for __unqual_scalar_typeof() The get/put_unaligned() changes triggered a new sparse warning when __beNN types are used with get/put_unaligned() as sparse builds add a special 'bitwise' attribute to them which prevents sparse to evaluate the Generic in __unqual_scalar_typeof().

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar: "Lock debugging: - Implement compiler-driven static analysis locking context checking, using the upcoming Clang 22 compiler's context analysis features (Marco Elver) We removed Sparse context analysis support, because prior to removal even a defconfig kernel produced 1,700+ context tracking Sparse warnings, the overwhelming majority of which are false positives. On an allmodconfig kernel the number of false positive context tracking Sparse warnings grows to over 5,200... On the plus side of the balance actual locking bugs found by Sparse context analysis is also rather ... sparse: I found only 3 such commits in the last 3 years. So the rate of false positives and the maintenance overhead is rather high and there appears to be no active policy in place to achieve a zero-warnings baseline to move the annotations & fixers to developers who introduce new code. Clang context analysis is more complete and more aggressive in trying to find bugs, at least in principle. Plus it has a different model to enabling it: it's enabled subsystem by subsystem, which results in zero warnings on all relevant kernel builds (as far as our testing managed to cover it). Which allowed us to enable it by default, similar to other compiler warnings, with the expectation that there are no warnings going forward. This enforces a zero-warnings baseline on clang-22+ builds (Which are still limited in distribution, admittedly) Hopefully the Clang approach can lead to a more maintainable zero-warnings status quo and policy, with more and more subsystems and drivers enabling the feature. Context tracking can be enabled for all kernel code via WARN_CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ALL=y (default disabled), but this will generate a lot of false positives. ( Having said that, Sparse support could still be added back, if anyone is interested - the removal patch is still relatively straightforward to revert at this stage. ) Rust integration updates: (Alice Ryhl, Fujita Tomonori, Boqun Feng) - Add support for Atomic<i8/i16/bool> and replace most Rust native AtomicBool usages with Atomic<bool> - Clean up LockClassKey and improve its documentation - Add missing Send and Sync trait implementation for SetOnce - Make ARef Unpin as it is supposed to be - Add __rust_helper to a few Rust helpers as a preparation for helper LTO - Inline various lock related functions to avoid additional function calls WW mutexes: - Extend ww_mutex tests and other test-ww_mutex updates (John Stultz) Misc fixes and cleanups: - rcu: Mark lockdep_assert_rcu_helper() __always_inline (Arnd Bergmann) - locking/local_lock: Include more missing headers (Peter Zijlstra) - seqlock: fix scoped_seqlock_read kernel-doc (Randy Dunlap) - rust: sync: Replace `kernel::c_str!` with C-Strings (Tamir Duberstein)" * tag 'locking-core-2026-02-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (90 commits) locking/rwlock: Fix write_trylock_irqsave() with CONFIG_INLINE_WRITE_TRYLOCK rcu: Mark lockdep_assert_rcu_helper() __always_inline compiler-context-analysis: Remove __assume_ctx_lock from initializers tomoyo: Use scoped init guard crypto: Use scoped init guard kcov: Use scoped init guard compiler-context-analysis: Introduce scoped init guards cleanup: Make __DEFINE_LOCK_GUARD handle commas in initializers seqlock: fix scoped_seqlock_read kernel-doc tools: Update context analysis macros in compiler_types.h rust: sync: Replace `kernel::c_str!` with C-Strings rust: sync: Inline various lock related methods rust: helpers: Move #define __rust_helper out of atomic.c rust: wait: Add __rust_helper to helpers rust: time: Add __rust_helper to helpers rust: task: Add __rust_helper to helpers rust: sync: Add __rust_helper to helpers rust: refcount: Add __rust_helper to helpers rust: rcu: Add __rust_helper to helpers rust: processor: Add __rust_helper to helpers ...

Explicitly allow the few exports that are intended for external usage. - Ignore -EBUSY when checking nested events after a vCPU exits blocking as the WARN is user-triggerable, and because exiting to userspace on -EBUSY does more harm than good in pretty much every situation. - Throw in the towel and drop the WARN on INIT/SIPI being blocked when vCPU is in Wait-For-SIPI, as playing whack-a-mole with syzkaller turned out to be an unwinnable game. - Add support for new Intel instructions that don't require anything beyond enumerating feature flags to userspace. - Grab SRCU when reading PDPTRs in KVM_GET_SREGS2. - Add WARNs to guard against modifying KVM's CPU caps outside of the intended setup flow, as nested VMX in particular is sensitive to unexpected changes in KVM's golden configuration. - Add a quirk to allow userspace to opt-in to actually suppress EOI broadcasts when the suppression feature is enabled by the guest (currently limited to split IRQCHIP, i.e. userspace I/O APIC). Sadly, simply fixing KVM to honor Suppress EOI Broadcasts isn't an option as some userspaces have come to rely on KVM's buggy behavior (KVM advertises Supress EOI Broadcast irrespective of whether or not userspace I/O APIC supports Directed EOIs). - Minor cleanups.

KVM SVM changes for 6.20 - Drop a user-triggerable WARN on nested_svm_load_cr3() failure. - Add support for virtualizing ERAPS. Note, correct virtualization of ERAPS relies on an upcoming, publicly announced change in the APM to reduce the set of conditions where hardware (i.e. KVM) *must* flush the RAP. - Ignore nSVM intercepts for instructions that are not supported according to L1's virtual CPU model. - Add support for expedited writes to the fast MMIO bus, a la VMX's fastpath for EPT Misconfig. - Don't set GIF when clearing EFER.SVME, as GIF exists independently of SVM, and allow userspace to restore nested state with GIF=0. - Treat exit_code as an unsigned 64-bit value through all of KVM. - Add support for fetching SNP certificates from userspace. - Fix a bug where KVM would use vmcb02 instead of vmcb01 when emulating VMLOAD or VMSAVE on behalf of L2. - Misc fixes and cleanups.

KVM VMX changes for 6.20 - Fix an SGX bug where KVM would incorrectly try to handle EPCM #PFs by always relecting EPCM #PFs back into the guest. KVM doesn't shadow EPCM entries, and so EPCM violations cannot be due to KVM interference, and can't be resolved by KVM. - Fix a bug where KVM would register its posted interrupt wakeup handler even if loading kvm-intel.ko ultimately failed. - Disallow access to vmcb12 fields that aren't fully supported, mostly to avoid weirdness and complexity for FRED and other features, where KVM wants enable VMCS shadowing for fields that conditionally exist. - Print out the "bad" offsets and values if kvm-intel.ko refuses to load (or refuses to online a CPU) due to a VMCS config mismatch.
2026-02-06mm: make PT_RECLAIM depends on MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREEQi Zheng
The PT_RECLAIM can work on all architectures that support MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE, except for those that have selected HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE,so make PT_RECLAIM depends on MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE && !HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE. BTW, change PT_RECLAIM to be enabled by default, since nobody should want to turn it off.
