The generic test for CC_CAN_LINK assumes that all architectures use -m32
and -m64 to switch between 32-bit and 64-bit compilation. This is overly
simplistic. Architectures may use other flags (-mabi, -m31, etc.) or may
also require byte order handling (-mlittle-endian, -EL). Expressing all
of the different possibilities will be very complicated and brittle.
Instead allow architectures to supply their own logic which will be
easy to understand and evolve.
Both the boolean ARCH_HAS_CC_CAN_LINK and the string ARCH_USERFLAGS need
to be implemented as kconfig does not allow the reuse of string options.

In Rust 1.80, the previously unstable `slice::flatten` family of methods
have been stabilized and renamed to `slice::as_flattened`.
This creates an issue as we want to use `as_flattened`, but need to
support the MSRV (which at the moment is Rust 1.78) where it is named
`flatten`.
Solve this by enabling the `slice_flatten` feature, and providing an
`as_flattened` implementation through an extension trait for compiler
versions where it is not available.
The trait is then exported from the prelude, making the `as_flattened`
family of methods transparently available for all supported compiler
versions.
This extension trait can be removed once the MSRV passes 1.80.

The kernel cmdline length is allowed to be longer than what printk can
handle. When this happens the cmdline that's printed to the kernel ring
buffer at bootup is cutoff and some kernel cmdline options are "hidden"
from the logs. This undercuts the usefulness of the log message.
Specifically, grepping for COMMAND_LINE_SIZE shows that 2048 is common and
some architectures even define it as 4096. s390 allows a CONFIG-based
maximum up to 1MB (though it's not expected that anyone will go over the
default max of 4096 [1]).
The maximum message pr_notice() seems to be able to handle (based on
experiment) is 1021 characters. This appears to be based on the current
value of PRINTKRB_RECORD_MAX as 1024 and the fact that pr_notice() spends
2 characters on the loglevel prefix and we have a '\n' at the end.
While it would be possible to increase the limits of printk() (and
therefore pr_notice()) somewhat, it doesn't appear possible to increase it
enough to fully include a 2048-character cmdline without breaking
userspace. Specifically on at least two tested userspaces (ChromeOS plus
the Debian-based distro I'm typing this message on) the `dmesg` tool reads
lines from `/dev/kmsg` in 2047-byte chunks. As per
`Documentation/ABI/testing/dev-kmsg`:
Every read() from the opened device node receives one record
of the kernel's printk buffer.
...
Messages in the record ring buffer get overwritten as whole,
there are never partial messages received by read().
We simply can't fit a 2048-byte cmdline plus the "Kernel command line:"
prefix plus info about time/log_level/etc in a 2047-byte read.
The above means that if we want to avoid the truncation we need to do some
type of wrapping of the cmdline when printing.
Add wrapping to the printout of the kernel command line. By default, the
wrapping is set to 1021 characters to avoid breaking anyone, but allow
wrapping to be set lower by a Kconfig knob
"CONFIG_CMDLINE_LOG_WRAP_IDEAL_LEN". Any tools that are correctly parsing
the cmdline today (because it is less than 1021 characters) will see no
difference in their behavior. The format of wrapped output is designed to
be matched by anyone using "grep" to search for the cmdline and also to be
easy for tools to handle. Anyone who is sure their tools (if any) handle
the wrapped format can choose a lower wrapping value and have prettier
output.
Setting CONFIG_CMDLINE_LOG_WRAP_IDEAL_LEN to 0 fully disables the wrapping
logic. This means that long command lines will be truncated again, but
this config could be set if command lines are expected to be long and
userspace is known not to handle parsing logs with the wrapping.
Wrapping is based on spaces, ignoring quotes. All lines are prefixed with
"Kernel command line: " and lines that are not the last line have a " \"
suffix added to them. The prefix and suffix count towards the line length
for wrapping purposes. The ideal length will be exceeded if no
appropriate place to wrap is found.
The wrapping function added here is fairly generic and could be made a
library function (somewhat like print_hex_dump()) if it's needed elsewhere
in the kernel. However, having printk() directly incorporate this
wrapping would be unlikely to be a good idea since it would break
printouts into more than one record without any obvious common line prefix
to tie lines together. It would also be extra overhead when, in general,
kernel log message should simply be kept smaller than 1021 bytes. For
some discussion on this topic, see responses to the v1 posting of this
patch [2].

Now that all bits and pieces are in place, hook the RSEQ handling fast path
function into exit_to_user_mode_prepare() after the TIF work bits have been
handled. If case of fast path failure, TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME has been raised
and the caller needs to take another turn through the TIF handling slow
path.
This only works for architectures which use the generic entry code.
Architectures who still have their own incomplete hacks are not supported
and won't be.
This results in the following improvements:
Kernel build Before After Reduction
exit to user 80692981 80514451
signal checks: 32581 121 99%
slowpath runs: 1201408 1.49% 198 0.00% 100%
fastpath runs: 675941 0.84% N/A
id updates: 1233989 1.53% 50541 0.06% 96%
cs checks: 1125366 1.39% 0 0.00% 100%
cs cleared: 1125366 100% 0 100%

RSEQ selftests Before After Reduction
exit to user: 386281778 387373750
signal checks: 35661203 0 100%
slowpath runs: 140542396 36.38% 100 0.00% 100%
fastpath runs: 9509789 2.51% N/A
id updates: 176203599 45.62% 9087994 2.35% 95%
cs checks: 175587856 45.46% 4728394 1.22% 98%
cs cleared: 172359544 98.16% 1319307 27.90% 99%
cs fixup: 3228312 1.84% 3409087 72.10%
The 'cs cleared' and 'cs fixup' percentages are not relative to the exit to
user invocations, they are relative to the actual 'cs check' invocations.
While some of this could have been avoided in the original code, like the
obvious clearing of CS when it's already clear, the main problem of going
through TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME cannot be solved. In some workloads the RSEQ
notify handler is invoked more than once before going out to user
space. Doing this once when everything has stabilized is the only solution
to avoid this.
The initial attempt to completely decouple it from the TIF work turned out
to be suboptimal for workloads, which do a lot of quick and short system
calls. Even if the fast path decision is only 4 instructions (including a
conditional branch), this adds up quickly and becomes measurable when the
rate for actually having to handle rseq is in the low single digit
percentage range of user/kernel transitions.

Replace simple_strtol() with the recommended kstrtoint() for parsing the
'ramdisk_start=' boot parameter. Unlike simple_strtol(), which returns a
a long, kstrtoint() converts the string directly to an integer and
avoids implicit casting.
Check the return value of kstrtoint() and reject invalid values. This
adds error handling while preserving existing behavior for valid values,
and removes use of the deprecated simple_strtol() helper.

Merge tag 'namespace-6.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a larger set of changes around the generic namespace
infrastructure of the kernel.
Each specific namespace type (net, cgroup, mnt, ...) embedds a struct
ns_common which carries the reference count of the namespace and so
on.
We open-coded and cargo-culted so many quirks for each namespace type
that it just wasn't scalable anymore. So given there's a bunch of new
changes coming in that area I've started cleaning all of this up.
The core change is to make it possible to correctly initialize every
namespace uniformly and derive the correct initialization settings
from the type of the namespace such as namespace operations, namespace
type and so on. This leaves the new ns_common_init() function with a
single parameter which is the specific namespace type which derives
the correct parameters statically. This also means the compiler will
yell as soon as someone does something remotely fishy.
The ns_common_init() addition also allows us to remove ns_alloc_inum()
and drops any special-casing of the initial network namespace in the
network namespace initialization code that Linus complained about.
Another part is reworking the reference counting. The reference
counting was open-coded and copy-pasted for each namespace type even
though they all followed the same rules. This also removes all open
accesses to the reference count and makes it private and only uses a
very small set of dedicated helpers to manipulate them just like we do
for e.g., files.
In addition this generalizes the mount namespace iteration
infrastructure introduced a few cycles ago. As reminder, the vfs makes
it possible to iterate sequentially and bidirectionally through all
mount namespaces on the system or all mount namespaces that the caller
holds privilege over. This allow userspace to iterate over all mounts
in all mount namespaces using the listmount() and statmount() system
call.
Each mount namespace has a unique identifier for the lifetime of the
systems that is exposed to userspace. The network namespace also has a
unique identifier working exactly the same way. This extends the
concept to all other namespace types.
The new nstree type makes it possible to lookup namespaces purely by
their identifier and to walk the namespace list sequentially and
bidirectionally for all namespace types, allowing userspace to iterate
through all namespaces. Looking up namespaces in the namespace tree
works completely locklessly.
This also means we can move the mount namespace onto the generic
infrastructure and remove a bunch of code and members from struct
mnt_namespace itself.
There's a bunch of stuff coming on top of this in the future but for
now this uses the generic namespace tree to extend a concept
introduced first for pidfs a few cycles ago. For a while now we have
supported pidfs file handles for pidfds. This has proven to be very
useful.
This extends the concept to cover namespaces as well. It is possible
to encode and decode namespace file handles using the common
name_to_handle_at() and open_by_handle_at() apis.
As with pidfs file handles, namespace file handles are exhaustive,
meaning it is not required to actually hold a reference to nsfs in
able to decode aka open_by_handle_at() a namespace file handle.
Instead the FD_NSFS_ROOT constant can be passed which will let the
kernel grab a reference to the root of nsfs internally and thus decode
the file handle.
Namespaces file descriptors can already be derived from pidfds which
means they aren't subject to overmount protection bugs. IOW, it's
irrelevant if the caller would not have access to an appropriate
/proc/<pid>/ns/ directory as they could always just derive the
namespace based on a pidfd already.
It has the same advantage as pidfds. It's possible to reliably and for
the lifetime of the system refer to a namespace without pinning any
resources and to compare them trivially.
Permission checking is kept simple. If the caller is located in the
namespace the file handle refers to they are able to open it otherwise
they must hold privilege over the owning namespace of the relevant
namespace.
The namespace file handle layout is exposed as uapi and has a stable
and extensible format. For now it simply contains the namespace
identifier, the namespace type, and the inode number. The stable
format means that userspace may construct its own namespace file
handles without going through name_to_handle_at() as they are already
allowed for pidfs and cgroup file handles"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Add "initramfs_options" parameter to set initramfs mount options.
This allows to add specific mount options to the rootfs to e.g.,
limit the memory size
- Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2()
Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2. This flag prevents the SIGPIPE
signal from being raised when writing on disconnected pipes or
sockets. The flag is handled directly by the pipe filesystem and
converted to the existing MSG_NOSIGNAL flag for sockets
- Allow to pass pid namespace as procfs mount option
Ever since the introduction of pid namespaces, procfs has had very
implicit behaviour surrounding them (the pidns used by a procfs
mount is auto-selected based on the mounting process's active
pidns, and the pidns itself is basically hidden once the mount has
been constructed)
This implicit behaviour has historically meant that userspace was
required to do some special dances in order to configure the pidns
of a procfs mount as desired. Examples include:
* In order to bypass the mnt_too_revealing() check, Kubernetes
creates a procfs mount from an empty pidns so that user
namespaced containers can be nested (without this, the nested
containers would fail to mount procfs)
But this requires forking off a helper process because you cannot
just one-shot this using mount(2)
* Container runtimes in general need to fork into a container
before configuring its mounts, which can lead to security issues
in the case of shared-pidns containers (a privileged process in
the pidns can interact with your container runtime process)
While SUID_DUMP_DISABLE and user namespaces make this less of an
issue, the strict need for this due to a minor uAPI wart is kind
of unfortunate
Things would be much easier if there was a way for userspace to
just specify the pidns they want. So this pull request contains
changes to implement a new "pidns" argument which can be set
using fsconfig(2):
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "pidns", NULL, nsfd);
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pidns", "/proc/self/ns/pid", 0);
or classic mount(2) / mount(8):
// mount -t proc -o pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid proc /tmp/proc
mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", MS_..., "pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid");

There's a silly problem with the CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT test: even with
a working compiler it will fail on some architectures simply because it
uses the mnemonic "jmp" for testing the inline asm.
And as reported by Geert, not all architectures use that mnemonic, so
the test fails spuriously on such platforms (including arm and riscv,
but also several other architectures).
This issue avoided any obvious test failures because the build still
works thanks to falling back on the old non-asm-goto code, which just
generates worse code.
Just use an empty asm statement instead.

clang < 17 fails to use scope local labels with CONFIG_CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT=y:
{
__label__ local_lbl;
...
unsafe_get_user(uval, uaddr, local_lbl);
...
return 0;
local_lbl:
return -EFAULT;
}
when two such scopes exist in the same function:
error: cannot jump from this asm goto statement to one of its possible targets
There are other failure scenarios. Shuffling code around slightly makes it
worse and fail even with one instance.
That issue prevents using local labels for a cleanup based user access
mechanism.
After failed attempts to provide a simple enough test case for the 'depends
on' test in Kconfig, the initial cure was to mark ASM goto broken on clang
versions < 17 to get this road block out of the way.
But Nathan pointed out that this is a known clang issue and indeed affects
clang < version 17 in combination with cleanup(). It's not even required to
use local labels for that.
The clang issue tracker has a small enough test case, which can be used as
a test in the 'depends on' section of CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT:
void bar(void **);
void* baz(void);
int foo (void) {
{
asm goto("jmp %l0"::::l0);
return 0;
l0:
return 1;
}
void *x __attribute__((cleanup(bar))) = baz();
{
asm goto("jmp %l0"::::l1);
return 42;
l1:
return 0xff;
}
}
Add another dependency to config CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT for it and use the
clang issue tracker test case for detection by condensing it to obfuscated
C-code contest format. This reliably catches the problem on clang < 17 and
did not show any issues on the non broken GCC versions.
That test might be sufficient to catch all issues and therefore could
replace the existing test, but keeping that around does no harm either.
Thanks to Nathan for pointing to the relevant clang issue!

is needed in kbuild-next to avoid a build error with a future change.
While at it, address the conflict between commit 41f9049cff ("riscv:
Only allow LTO with CMODEL_MEDANY") and commit 6578a1ff6a ("riscv:
Remove version check for LTO_CLANG selects"), as reported by Stephen
Rothwell [1].

Make the statement attribute "assume" with a new __assume macro available.
The assume attribute is used to indicate that a certain condition is
assumed to be true. Compilers may or may not use this indication to
generate optimized code. If this condition is violated at runtime, the
behavior is undefined.
Note that the clang documentation states that optimizers may react
differently to this attribute, and this may even have a negative
performance impact. Therefore this attribute should be used with care.

BootLoaders (Grub, LILO, etc) may pass an identifier such as "BOOT_IMAGE=
/boot/vmlinuz-x.y.z" to kernel parameters. But these identifiers are not
recognized by the kernel itself so will be passed to userspace. However
user space init program also don't recognize it.
KEXEC/KDUMP (kexec-tools) may also pass an identifier such as "kexec" on
some architectures.
We cannot change BootLoader's behavior, because this behavior exists for
many years, and there are already user space programs search BOOT_IMAGE=
in /proc/cmdline to obtain the kernel image locations:
https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-ab-recovery/blob/master/util.go
(search getBootOptions)
https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-ab-recovery/blob/master/main.go
(search getKernelReleaseWithBootOption) So the the best way is handle
(ignore) it by the kernel itself, which can avoid such boot warnings (if
we use something like init=/bin/bash, bootloader identifier can even cause
a crash):
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,1)/vmlinuz-6.x root=/dev/sda3 ro console=tty
Unknown kernel command line parameters "BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,1)/vmlinuz-6.x", will be passed to user space.

The static usage pattern of creating a cgroup, enabling controllers,
and then seeding it with CLONE_INTO_CGROUP doesn't require write
locking cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem and thus doesn't benefit from this
patch.
To avoid affecting other users, the per threadgroup rwsem is only used
when the favordynmods is enabled.
As computer hardware advances, modern systems are typically equipped
with many CPU cores and large amounts of memory, enabling the deployment
of numerous applications. On such systems, container creation and
deletion become frequent operations, making cgroup process migration no
longer a cold path. This leads to noticeable contention with common
process operations such as fork, exec, and exit.
To alleviate the contention between cgroup process migration and
operations like process fork, this patch modifies lock to take the write
lock on signal_struct->group_rwsem when writing pid to
cgroup.procs/threads instead of holding a global write lock.
Cgroup process migration has historically relied on
signal_struct->group_rwsem to protect thread group integrity. In commit
<1ed1328792ff> ("sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with
a global percpu_rwsem"), this was changed to a global
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem. The advantage of using a global lock was
simplified handling of process group migrations. This patch retains the
use of the global lock for protecting process group migration, while
reducing contention by using per thread group lock during
cgroup.procs/threads writes.
The locking behavior is as follows:
write cgroup.procs/threads | process fork,exec,exit | process group migration
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cgroup_lock() | down_read(&g_rwsem) | cgroup_lock()
down_write(&p_rwsem) | down_read(&p_rwsem) | down_write(&g_rwsem)
critical section | critical section | critical section
up_write(&p_rwsem) | up_read(&p_rwsem) | up_write(&g_rwsem)
cgroup_unlock() | up_read(&g_rwsem) | cgroup_unlock()
g_rwsem denotes cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem, p_rwsem denotes
signal_struct->group_rwsem.
This patch eliminates contention between cgroup migration and fork
operations for threads that belong to different thread groups, thereby
reducing the long-tail latency of cgroup migrations and lowering system
load.
With this patch, under heavy fork and exec interference, the long-tail
latency of cgroup migration has been reduced from milliseconds to
microseconds. Under heavy cgroup migration interference, the multi-CPU
score of the spawn test case in UnixBench increased by 9%.

clang: clang/lib/AST/RecordLayoutBuilder.cpp:3335: const ASTRecordLayout &clang::ASTContext::getASTRecordLayout(const RecordDecl *) const: Assertion `D && "Cannot get layout of forward declarations!"' failed.
According to a reverse bisect, a tangential change to the LLVM IR

resolves this problem. Bump the version of clang that enables

Stoakes extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding
more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of
multiple VMAs" feature.
- The 22 patch series "selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters"

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"As usual, many cleanups. The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets.
21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up",
"cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc.
I never knew the MM code was so dirty.
"mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly
mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent
VMAs.
"mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park)
adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of
DAMON in production environments.
"stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig)
is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of
pointers from struct writeback_control.
"drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom)
contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and
management code.
"mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman)
does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code.
"Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts)
implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading
into order>0 folios.
"selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown)
provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the
selftests code.
"Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a
memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark.
"Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox)
expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page().
"mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand)
addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code.
These were not known to be causing any issues at this time.
"mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park)
provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON.
"use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other
types.
"mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy)
increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd
code.
"mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple)
removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags.
"mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park)
implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON
sysfs layer.
"madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code.
"madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka)
provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort.
"Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador)
creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes.
Previously these were lumped under the more general memory
on/offline notifier.
"Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan)
cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue
which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice.
"selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park)
adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are
more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite.
"Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador)
fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and
follows that fix with a series of cleanups.
"cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport)
rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA
allocator.
"mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand)
provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code.
"mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park)
adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code.
"mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park)
does that.
"mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park)
also does what it claims.
"mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand)
cleans up the large folio PTE batching code.
"mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park)
facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation
policy.
"Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola)
provides a couple of page->folio conversions.
"mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso)
implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the
current memcg-based implementation.
"mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park)
replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and
powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface.
"mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation
for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping
of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still
excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed
reliably.
"drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga)
switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and
removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range().
"mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park)
augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs
monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a
tunable to control the update interval.
"Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi)
does what is claims.
"mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand)
provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab
a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping
over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe
directly.
"use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan)
addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by
reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than
half in some situations. The series also introduces several new
selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface.
"__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan)
cleans up __folio_split()!
"Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing
with large folios.
"selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian)
does some cleanup work in the selftests code.
"tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding
more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of
multiple VMAs" feature.

Merge tag 'for-6.17/io_uring-20250728' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux
Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
- Optimization to avoid reference counts on non-cloned registered
buffers. This is how these buffers were handled prior to having
cloning support, and we can still use that approach as long as the
buffers haven't been cloned to another ring.
- Cleanup and improvement for uring_cmd, where btrfs was the only user
of storing allocated data for the lifetime of the uring_cmd. Clean
that up so we can get rid of the need to do that.
- Avoid unnecessary memory copies in uring_cmd usage. This is
particularly important as a lot of uring_cmd usage necessitates the
use of 128b SQEs.
- A few updates for recv multishot, where it's now possible to add
fairness limits for limiting how much is transferred for each retry
loop. Additionally, recv multishot now supports an overall cap as
well, where once reached the multishot recv will terminate. The
latter is useful for buffer management and juggling many recv streams
at the same time.
- Add support for returning the TX timestamps via a new socket command.
This feature can work in either singleshot or multishot mode, where
the latter triggers a completion whenever new timestamps are
available. This is an alternative to using the existing error queue.
- Add support for an io_uring "mock" file, which is the start of being
able to do 100% targeted testing in terms of exercising io_uring
request handling. The idea is to have a file type that can be
anything the tester would like, and behave exactly how you want it to
behave in terms of hitting the code paths you want.
- Improve zcrx by using sgtables to de-duplicate and improve dma
address handling.
- Prep work for supporting larger pages for zcrx.
- Various little improvements and fixes.

Add a dependency for IO_URING for the GCOV_PROFILE_URING symbol.
Without this patch the EXPERT config menu ends with
"Enable IO uring support" and the menu prompts for
GCOV_PROFILE_URING and IO_URING_MOCK_FILE are not subordinate to it.
This causes all of the EXPERT Kconfig options that follow
GCOV_PROFILE_URING to be display in the "upper" menu (General setup),
just following the EXPERT menu.

The vmstat_text array contains labels for counters displayed in
/proc/vmstat. It is important to keep the labels in sync with the
counters.
There is a BUILD_BUG_ON() check in vmstat_start() that ensures the size of
the vmstat_text is not smaller than VM_EVENT_COUNTERS. This helps to
catch cases where a new counter is added but the label is not. However,
it does not help if a counter is removed but the label remains.
It would be nice to make the BUILD_BUG_ON() check more strict to catch
such cases. However, when compiling with MEMCG enabled but
VM_EVENT_COUNTERS disabled, the vmstat_text array is larger than
NR_VMSTAT_ITEMS.
This issue arises because some elements of the vmstat_text array are
present when either MEMCG or VM_EVENT_COUNTERS is enabled, but
NR_VMSTAT_ITEMS only accounts for these elements if VM_EVENT_COUNTERS is
enabled.
Instead of adjusting the NR_VMSTAT_ITEMS definition to account for MEMCG,
make MEMCG select VM_EVENT_COUNTERS. VM_EVENT_COUNTERS is enabled in most
configurations anyway.

The use of rcuref_t for reference counting introduces a performance bottleneck
when accessed concurrently by multiple threads during futex operations.
Replace rcuref_t with special crafted per-CPU reference counters. The
lifetime logic remains the same.
The newly allocate private hash starts in FR_PERCPU state. In this state, each
futex operation that requires the private hash uses a per-CPU counter (an
unsigned int) for incrementing or decrementing the reference count.
When the private hash is about to be replaced, the per-CPU counters are
migrated to a atomic_t counter mm_struct::futex_atomic.
The migration process:
- Waiting for one RCU grace period to ensure all users observe the
current private hash. This can be skipped if a grace period elapsed
since the private hash was assigned.
- futex_private_hash::state is set to FR_ATOMIC, forcing all users to
use mm_struct::futex_atomic for reference counting.
- After a RCU grace period, all users are guaranteed to be using the
atomic counter. The per-CPU counters can now be summed up and added to
the atomic_t counter. If the resulting count is zero, the hash can be
safely replaced. Otherwise, active users still hold a valid reference.
- Once the atomic reference count drops to zero, the next futex
operation will switch to the new private hash.
call_rcu_hurry() is used to speed up transition which otherwise might be
delay with RCU_LAZY. There is nothing wrong with using call_rcu(). The
side effects would be that on auto scaling the new hash is used later
and the SET_SLOTS prctl() will block longer.

io_uring commands provide an ioctl style interface for files to
implement file specific operations. io_uring provides many features and
advanced api to commands, and it's getting hard to test as it requires
specific files/devices.
Add basic infrastucture for creating special mock files that will be
implementing the cmd api and using various io_uring features we want to
test. It'll also be useful to test some more obscure read/write/polling
edge cases in the future.

Chris Mason reported a performance regression on big iron. Reports of
this kind were usually reported as part of a micro benchmark but Chris'
test did mimic his real workload. This makes it a real regression.
The root cause is rcuref_get() which is invoked during each futex
operation. If all threads of an application do this simultaneously then
it leads to cache line bouncing and the performance drops.
Disable FUTEX_PRIVATE_HASH entirely for this cycle. The performance
regression will be addressed in the following cycle enabling the option
again.

Most of kernel debugging facilities take a nul-terminated string for
file names for a callsite (generated from __FILE__), however the Rust
courterpart, Location, would return a Rust string (not nul-terminated)
from method .file(). And such a string cannot be passed to C debugging
function directly.
There is ongoing work to support a Location::file_with_nul() [1], which
returns a nul-terminated string from a Location. Since it's still
working in progress, and it will take some time before the feature
finally gets stabilized and the kernel's minimal rustc version might
also take a while to bump to a version that at least has that feature,
introduce a file_from_location() function, which returns a warning
string if Location::file_with_nul() is not available.
This should work in most cases because as for now the known usage of
Location::file_with_nul() is only in debugging code (e.g. might_sleep())
and there might be other information reported by the debugging code that
could help locate the problematic function, so missing the file name is
fine at the moment.

Toolchain and infrastructure:
- KUnit '#[test]'s:
- Support KUnit-mapped 'assert!' macros.
The support that landed last cycle was very basic, and the
'assert!' macros panicked since they were the standard library
ones. Now, they are mapped to the KUnit ones in a similar way to
how is done for doctests, reusing the infrastructure there.
With this, a failing test like:
#[test]
fn my_first_test() {
assert_eq!(42, 43);
}
will report:
# my_first_test: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:251
Expected 42 == 43 to be true, but is false
# my_first_test.speed: normal
not ok 1 my_first_test
- Support tests with checked 'Result' return types.
The return value of test functions that return a 'Result' will be
checked, thus one can now easily catch errors when e.g. using the
'?' operator in tests.
With this, a failing test like:
#[test]
fn my_test() -> Result {
f()?;
Ok(())
}
will report:
# my_test: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:321
Expected is_test_result_ok(my_test()) to be true, but is false
# my_test.speed: normal
not ok 1 my_test
- Add 'kunit_tests' to the prelude.
- Clarify the remaining language unstable features in use.
- Compile 'core' with edition 2024 for Rust >= 1.87.
- Workaround 'bindgen' issue with forward references to 'enum' types.
- objtool: relax slice condition to cover more 'noreturn' functions.
- Use absolute paths in macros referencing 'core' and 'kernel' crates.
- Skip '-mno-fdpic' flag for bindgen in GCC 32-bit arm builds.
- Clean some 'doc_markdown' lint hits -- we may enable it later on.
'kernel' crate:
- 'alloc' module:
- 'Box': support for type coercion, e.g. 'Box<T>' to 'Box<dyn U>' if
'T' implements 'U'.
- 'Vec': implement new methods (prerequisites for nova-core and
binder): 'truncate', 'resize', 'clear', 'pop',
'push_within_capacity' (with new error type 'PushError'),
'drain_all', 'retain', 'remove' (with new error type
'RemoveError'), insert_within_capacity' (with new error type
'InsertError').
In addition, simplify 'push' using 'spare_capacity_mut', split
'set_len' into 'inc_len' and 'dec_len', add type invariant
'len <= capacity' and simplify 'truncate' using 'dec_len'.
- 'time' module:
- Morph the Rust hrtimer subsystem into the Rust timekeeping
subsystem, covering delay, sleep, timekeeping, timers. This new
subsystem has all the relevant timekeeping C maintainers listed in
the entry.
- Replace 'Ktime' with 'Delta' and 'Instant' types to represent a
duration of time and a point in time.
- Temporarily add 'Ktime' to 'hrtimer' module to allow 'hrtimer' to
delay converting to 'Instant' and 'Delta'.
- 'xarray' module:
- Add a Rust abstraction for the 'xarray' data structure. This
abstraction allows Rust code to leverage the 'xarray' to store
types that implement 'ForeignOwnable'. This support is a dependency
for memory backing feature of the Rust null block driver, which is
waiting to be merged.
- Set up an entry in 'MAINTAINERS' for the XArray Rust support.
Patches will go to the new Rust XArray tree and then via the Rust
subsystem tree for now.
- Allow 'ForeignOwnable' to carry information about the pointed-to
type. This helps asserting alignment requirements for the pointer
passed to the foreign language.
- 'container_of!': retain pointer mut-ness and add a compile-time check
of the type of the first parameter ('$field_ptr').
- Support optional message in 'static_assert!'.
- Add C FFI types (e.g. 'c_int') to the prelude.
- 'str' module: simplify KUnit tests 'format!' macro, convert
'rusttest' tests into KUnit, take advantage of the '-> Result'
support in KUnit '#[test]'s.
- 'list' module: add examples for 'List', fix path of 'assert_pinned!'
(so far unused macro rule).
- 'workqueue' module: remove 'HasWork::OFFSET'.
- 'page' module: add 'inline' attribute.
'macros' crate:
- 'module' macro: place 'cleanup_module()' in '.exit.text' section.
'pin-init' crate:
- Add 'Wrapper<T>' trait for creating pin-initializers for wrapper
structs with a structurally pinned value such as 'UnsafeCell<T>' or
'MaybeUninit<T>'.
- Add 'MaybeZeroable' derive macro to try to derive 'Zeroable', but
not error if not all fields implement it. This is needed to derive
'Zeroable' for all bindgen-generated structs.
- Add 'unsafe fn cast_[pin_]init()' functions to unsafely change the
initialized type of an initializer. These are utilized by the
'Wrapper<T>' implementations.
- Add support for visibility in 'Zeroable' derive macro.
- Add support for 'union's in 'Zeroable' derive macro.
- Upstream dev news: streamline CI, fix some bugs. Add new workflows
to check if the user-space version and the one in the kernel tree
have diverged. Use the issues tab [1] to track them, which should
help folks report and diagnose issues w.r.t. 'pin-init' better.
[1] https://github.com/rust-for-linux/pin-init/issues
Documentation:
- Testing: add docs on the new KUnit '#[test]' tests.
- Coding guidelines: explain that '///' vs. '//' applies to private
items too. Add section on C FFI types.
- Quick Start guide: update Ubuntu instructions and split them into
"25.04" and "24.04 LTS and older".
And a few other cleanups and improvements.

The return value of test functions that return a 'Result' will
be checked, thus one can now easily catch errors when e.g. using
the '?' operator in tests.
With this, a failing test like:
#[test]
fn my_test() -> Result {
f()?;
Ok(())
}
will report:
# my_test: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:321
Expected is_test_result_ok(my_test()) to be true, but is false
# my_test.speed: normal
not ok 1 my_test
- Add 'kunit_tests' to the prelude.
- Clarify the remaining language unstable features in use.
- Compile 'core' with edition 2024 for Rust >= 1.87.
- Workaround 'bindgen' issue with forward references to 'enum' types.
- objtool: relax slice condition to cover more 'noreturn' functions.
- Use absolute paths in macros referencing 'core' and 'kernel'
crates.
- Skip '-mno-fdpic' flag for bindgen in GCC 32-bit arm builds.
- Clean some 'doc_markdown' lint hits -- we may enable it later on.
'kernel' crate:
- 'alloc' module:
- 'Box': support for type coercion, e.g. 'Box<T>' to 'Box<dyn U>'
if 'T' implements 'U'.
- 'Vec': implement new methods (prerequisites for nova-core and
binder): 'truncate', 'resize', 'clear', 'pop',
'push_within_capacity' (with new error type 'PushError'),
'drain_all', 'retain', 'remove' (with new error type
'RemoveError'), insert_within_capacity' (with new error type
'InsertError').
In addition, simplify 'push' using 'spare_capacity_mut', split
'set_len' into 'inc_len' and 'dec_len', add type invariant 'len
<= capacity' and simplify 'truncate' using 'dec_len'.
- 'time' module:
- Morph the Rust hrtimer subsystem into the Rust timekeeping
subsystem, covering delay, sleep, timekeeping, timers. This new
subsystem has all the relevant timekeeping C maintainers listed
in the entry.
- Replace 'Ktime' with 'Delta' and 'Instant' types to represent a
duration of time and a point in time.
- Temporarily add 'Ktime' to 'hrtimer' module to allow 'hrtimer'
to delay converting to 'Instant' and 'Delta'.
- 'xarray' module:
- Add a Rust abstraction for the 'xarray' data structure. This
abstraction allows Rust code to leverage the 'xarray' to store
types that implement 'ForeignOwnable'. This support is a
dependency for memory backing feature of the Rust null block
driver, which is waiting to be merged.
- Set up an entry in 'MAINTAINERS' for the XArray Rust support.
Patches will go to the new Rust XArray tree and then via the
Rust subsystem tree for now.
- Allow 'ForeignOwnable' to carry information about the pointed-to
type. This helps asserting alignment requirements for the
pointer passed to the foreign language.
- 'container_of!': retain pointer mut-ness and add a compile-time
check of the type of the first parameter ('$field_ptr').
- Support optional message in 'static_assert!'.
- Add C FFI types (e.g. 'c_int') to the prelude.
- 'str' module: simplify KUnit tests 'format!' macro, convert
'rusttest' tests into KUnit, take advantage of the '-> Result'
support in KUnit '#[test]'s.
- 'list' module: add examples for 'List', fix path of
'assert_pinned!' (so far unused macro rule).
- 'workqueue' module: remove 'HasWork::OFFSET'.
- 'page' module: add 'inline' attribute.
'macros' crate:
- 'module' macro: place 'cleanup_module()' in '.exit.text' section.
'pin-init' crate:
- Add 'Wrapper<T>' trait for creating pin-initializers for wrapper
structs with a structurally pinned value such as 'UnsafeCell<T>' or
'MaybeUninit<T>'.
- Add 'MaybeZeroable' derive macro to try to derive 'Zeroable', but
not error if not all fields implement it. This is needed to derive
'Zeroable' for all bindgen-generated structs.
- Add 'unsafe fn cast_[pin_]init()' functions to unsafely change the
initialized type of an initializer. These are utilized by the
'Wrapper<T>' implementations.
- Add support for visibility in 'Zeroable' derive macro.
- Add support for 'union's in 'Zeroable' derive macro.
- Upstream dev news: streamline CI, fix some bugs. Add new workflows
to check if the user-space version and the one in the kernel tree
have diverged. Use the issues tab [1] to track them, which should
help folks report and diagnose issues w.r.t. 'pin-init' better.

Documentation:
- Testing: add docs on the new KUnit '#[test]' tests.
- Coding guidelines: explain that '///' vs. '//' applies to private
items too. Add section on C FFI types.
- Quick Start guide: update Ubuntu instructions and split them into
"25.04" and "24.04 LTS and older".

There are archs which have NMI but does not support this_cpu_* ops safely
in the nmi context but they support safe atomic ops in nmi context. For
such archs, let's add infra to use atomic ops for the memcg stats which
can be updated in nmi.
At the moment, the memcg stats which get updated in the objcg charging
path are MEMCG_KMEM, NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B & NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B.
Rather than adding support for all memcg stats to be nmi safe, let's just
add infra to make these three stats nmi safe which this patch is doing.

Patch series "memcg: nmi-safe kmem charging", v4.
Users can attached their BPF programs at arbitrary execution points in the
kernel and such BPF programs may run in nmi context. In addition, these
programs can trigger memcg charged kernel allocations in the nmi context.
However memcg charging infra for kernel memory is not equipped to handle
nmi context for all architectures.
This series removes the hurdles to enable kmem charging in the nmi context
for most of the archs. For archs without CONFIG_HAVE_NMI, this series is
a noop. For archs with NMI support and have
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS, the previous work to make memcg
stats re-entrant is sufficient for allowing kmem charging in nmi context.
For archs with NMI support but without
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS and with ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG,
this series added infra to support kmem charging in nmi context. Lastly
those archs with NMI support but without
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS and ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, kmem
charging in nmi context is not supported at all.
Mostly used archs have support for CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS
and this series should be almost a noop (other than making
memcg_rstat_updated nmi safe) for such archs.
This patch (of 5):
The memcg accounting and stats uses this_cpu* and atomic* ops. There are
archs which define CONFIG_HAVE_NMI but does not define
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS and ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, so
memcg accounting for such archs in nmi context is not possible to support.
Let's just disable memcg accounting in nmi context for such archs.

simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a
folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must
implement to provide this.
- The 8 patch series "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox
is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which
clean things up and better prepare us for future work.
- The 3 patch series "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment
advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from
leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not
aligned to memory block size.
- The 2 patch series "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive
compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly,
hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation
of proactive compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest
VM's memory consumption was dramatic.
- The 8 patch series "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing
code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency
improvement to this part of our swap handling code.
- The 6 patch series "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API"
from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls
arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that
are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number,
syscall arguments, and syscall return value.
This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
branch, but I goofed.
- The 3 patch series "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report
guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the
PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more
efficiently get at the info about guard regions.
- The 2 patch series "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()"
from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected
because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.
- The 3 patch series "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode()
rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into
the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in
favor of using more current facilities.
- The 3 patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64"
from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the
pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table
Descriptors are enabled for ARM.
- The 12 patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables"
from Kevin Brodsky "ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for
kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables". This permits the
addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page
tables". This change does result in various architectures performing
unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur.
- The 9 patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and
mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM
structures.
- The 3 patch series "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges"
from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities
which we've been missing for 15 years.
- The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED
and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB
flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec,
we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
load this particular operation.
- The 6 patch series "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation
counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit
percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was
dramaticelly reduced.
- The 3 patch series "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from
Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when
reading the code.
- The 3 patch series ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in
weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave
policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling,
fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory
hotplug support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to
hit.
- The 7 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups
including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota
goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when
utilizing DAMON for memory tiering.
- The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from
Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which
Baoquan found via code inspection.
- The 2 patch series "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion"
from Gregory Price "changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective
during demotion when possible". because "presently, reclaim explicitly
ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
settings to violated." "This is useful for isolating workloads on a
multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently."
- The 2 patch series ""Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove
unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and
efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.
- The 3 patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang
creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory
utilization.
- The 4 patch series "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and
lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness="
argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive
reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios.
- The 17 patch series "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike
Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to
maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based
kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.
- The 7 patch series "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David
Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range.
By skipping ranges of invalid pfns.
- The 2 patch series "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to
one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless
VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode. Dramatic
performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.
- The 2 patch series "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for
jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs
during memory compaction when using JFS.
- The 4 patch series "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication
logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c
into the more appropriate mm/vma.c.
- The 6 patch series "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from
Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the
folio_index() function.
- The 2 patch series "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal
Moola does that.
- The 8 patch series "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from
Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by
the test_memcontrol selftest.
- The 3 patch series "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare
hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of
file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new
file_operations.mmap_prepare(). The latter is more restrictive and
prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other
problems, may defeat VMA merging.
- The 4 patch series "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from
Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's
one. This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.
- The 6 patch series "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code,
tests, and documents" from SeongJae Park is "yet another batch of
miscellaneous DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code,
tests and documents."
- The 7 patch series "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel
Butt converts memcg stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to
making memcg charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement.
- The 4 patch series "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related
functions take folio instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio
conversions in the hugetlb code.

- "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng
Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to
this part of our swap handling code.
- "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin
adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this
time we can alter only "system call information that are used by
strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall
arguments, and syscall return value.
This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
branch, but I goofed.
- "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from
Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl
against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get
at the info about guard regions.
- "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan
implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because
validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.
- "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David
Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current
decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of
using more current facilities.
- "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman
Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping
code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are
enabled for ARM.
- "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky
ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as
it already is for user pgtables.
This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks
to protect page tables". This change does result in various
architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where
it is anticipated to occur.
- "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice
Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures.
- "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo
Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've
been missing for 15 years.
- "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from
SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing.
Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we
batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
load this particular operation.
- "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from
Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
preallocation.
stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and
the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly
reduced.
- "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes
a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code.
- ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave"
from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory
management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory
leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug
support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit.
- "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory"
from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which
eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON
for memory tiering.
- "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He
provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan
found via code inspection.
- "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price
changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when
possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores
cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
settings to violated.
This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from
certain classes of memory more consistently.
- "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio
pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains
in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.
- "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache
for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization.
- "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from
Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument
for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen.
This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios
rather than file-backed folios.
- "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the
first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing
VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this
time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.
- "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides
and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping
ranges of invalid pfns.
- "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via
cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning
when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode.
Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.
- "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank
Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when
using JFS.
- "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from
Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more
appropriate mm/vma.c.
- "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song
provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index()
function.
- "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that.
- "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long
addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the
test_memcontrol selftest.
- "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo
Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor
of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare().
The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with
things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging.
- "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples
the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one.
This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.
- "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and
documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous
DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and
documents.
- "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg
stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg
charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement.
- "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions take folio
instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio conversions in the
hugetlb code.

The KUnit `#[test]` support that landed recently is very basic and does
not map the `assert*!` macros into KUnit like the doctests do, so they
panic at the moment.
Thus implement the custom mapping in a similar way to doctests, reusing
the infrastructure there.
In Rust 1.88.0, the `file()` method in `Span` may be stable [1]. However,
it was changed recently (from `SourceFile`), so we need to do something
different in previous versions. Thus create a helper for it and use it
to get the path.
With this, a failing test suite like:
#[kunit_tests(my_test_suite)]
mod tests {
use super::*;
#[test]
fn my_first_test() {
assert_eq!(42, 43);
}
#[test]
fn my_second_test() {
assert!(42 >= 43);
}
}
will properly map back to KUnit, printing something like:
[ 1.924325] KTAP version 1
[ 1.924421] # Subtest: my_test_suite
[ 1.924506] # speed: normal

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Use folios for symlinks in the page cache
FUSE already uses folios for its symlinks. Mirror that conversion
in the generic code and the NFS code. That lets us get rid of a few
folio->page->folio conversions in this path, and some of the few
remaining users of read_cache_page() / read_mapping_page()
- Try and make a few filesystem operations killable on the VFS
inode->i_mutex level
- Add sysctl vfs_cache_pressure_denom for bulk file operations
Some workloads need to preserve more dentries than we currently
allow through out sysctl interface
A HDFS servers with 12 HDDs per server, on a HDFS datanode startup
involves scanning all files and caching their metadata (including
dentries and inodes) in memory. Each HDD contains approximately 2
million files, resulting in a total of ~20 million cached dentries
after initialization
To minimize dentry reclamation, they set vfs_cache_pressure to 1.
Despite this configuration, memory pressure conditions can still
trigger reclamation of up to 50% of cached dentries, reducing the
cache from 20 million to approximately 10 million entries. During
the subsequent cache rebuild period, any HDFS datanode restart
operation incurs substantial latency penalties until full cache
recovery completes
To maintain service stability, more dentries need to be preserved
during memory reclamation. The current minimum reclaim ratio (1/100
of total dentries) remains too aggressive for such workload. This
patch introduces vfs_cache_pressure_denom for more granular cache
pressure control
The configuration [vfs_cache_pressure=1,
vfs_cache_pressure_denom=10000] effectively maintains the full 20
million dentry cache under memory pressure, preventing datanode
restart performance degradation
- Avoid some jumps in inode_permission() using likely()/unlikely()
- Avid a memory access which is most likely a cache miss when
descending into devcgroup_inode_permission()
- Add fastpath predicts for stat() and fdput()
- Anonymous inodes currently don't come with a proper mode causing
issues in the kernel when we want to add useful VFS debug assert.
Fix that by giving them a proper mode and masking it off when we
report it to userspace which relies on them not having any mode
- Anonymous inodes currently allow to change inode attributes because
the VFS falls back to simple_setattr() if i_op->setattr isn't
implemented. This means the ownership and mode for every single
user of anon_inode_inode can be changed. Block that as it's either
useless or actively harmful. If specific ownership is needed the
respective subsystem should allocate anonymous inodes from their
own private superblock
- Raise SB_I_NODEV and SB_I_NOEXEC on the anonymous inode superblock
- Add proper tests for anonymous inode behavior
- Make it easy to detect proper anonymous inodes and to ensure that
we can detect them in codepaths such as readahead()
Cleanups:
- Port pidfs to the new anon_inode_{g,s}etattr() helpers
- Try to remove the uselib() system call
- Add unlikely branch hint return path for poll
- Add unlikely branch hint on return path for core_sys_select
- Don't allow signals to interrupt getdents copying for fuse
- Provide a size hint to dir_context for during readdir()
- Use writeback_iter directly in mpage_writepages
- Update compression and mtime descriptions in initramfs
documentation
- Update main netfs API document
- Remove useless plus one in super_cache_scan()
- Remove unnecessary NULL-check guards during setns()
- Add separate separate {get,put}_cgroup_ns no-op cases
Fixes:
- Fix typo in root= kernel parameter description
- Use KERN_INFO for infof()|info_plog()|infofc()
- Correct comments of fs_validate_description()
- Mark an unlikely if condition with unlikely() in
vfs_parse_monolithic_sep()
- Delete macro fsparam_u32hex()
- Remove unused and problematic validate_constant_table()
- Fix potential unsigned integer underflow in fs_name()
- Make file-nr output the total allocated file handles"

Patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc", v3.
(willy tldr: "you've gone from allocating 8 objects per 32KiB to
allocating 13 objects per 32KiB, a 62% improvement in memory consumption"
[1])
The mem_cgroup_alloc function creates mem_cgroup struct and it's
associated structures including mem_cgroup_per_node. Through detailed
analysis on our test machine (Arm64, 16GB RAM, 6.6 kernel, 1 NUMA node,
memcgv2 with nokmem,nosocket,cgroup_disable=pressure), we can observe the
memory allocation for these structures using the following shell commands:
# Enable tracing
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/enable
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on
cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe | grep kmalloc | grep mem_cgroup
# Trigger allocation if cgroup subtree do not enable memcg
echo +memory > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
Ftrace Output:
# mem_cgroup struct allocation
sh-6312 [000] ..... 58015.698365: kmalloc:
call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xd8/0x5b4
ptr=000000003e4c3799 bytes_req=2312 bytes_alloc=4096
gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=-1 accounted=false
# mem_cgroup_per_node allocation
sh-6312 [000] ..... 58015.698389: kmalloc:
call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x1d8/0x5b4
ptr=00000000d798700c bytes_req=2896 bytes_alloc=4096
gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=0 accounted=false
Key Observations:
1. Both structures use kmalloc with requested sizes between 2KB-4KB
2. Allocation alignment forces 4KB slab usage due to pre-defined sizes
(64B, 128B,..., 2KB, 4KB, 8KB)
3. Memory waste per memcg instance:
Base struct: 4096 - 2312 = 1784 bytes
Per-node struct: 4096 - 2896 = 1200 bytes
Total waste: 2984 bytes (1-node system)
NUMA scaling: (1200 + 8) * nr_node_ids bytes
So, it's a little waste.
This patchset introduces dedicated kmem_cache:
Patch2 - mem_cgroup kmem_cache - memcg_cachep
Patch3 - mem_cgroup_per_node kmem_cache - memcg_pn_cachep
The benefits of this change can be observed with the following tracing
commands:
# Enable tracing
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/kmem/kmem_cache_alloc/enable
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on
cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe | grep kmem_cache_alloc | grep mem_cgroup
# In another terminal:
echo +memory > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
The output might now look like this:
# mem_cgroup struct allocation
sh-9827 [000] ..... 289.513598: kmem_cache_alloc:
call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xbc/0x5d4 ptr=00000000695c1806
bytes_req=2312 bytes_alloc=2368 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=-1
accounted=false
# mem_cgroup_per_node allocation
sh-9827 [000] ..... 289.513602: kmem_cache_alloc:
call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x1b8/0x5d4 ptr=000000002989e63a
bytes_req=2896 bytes_alloc=2944 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=0
accounted=false
This indicates that the `mem_cgroup` struct now requests 2312 bytes and is
allocated 2368 bytes, while `mem_cgroup_per_node` requests 2896 bytes and
is allocated 2944 bytes. The slight increase in allocated size is due to
`SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN` in the `kmem_cache`.
Without `SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN`, the allocation might appear as:
# mem_cgroup struct allocation
sh-9269 [003] ..... 80.396366: kmem_cache_alloc:
call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xbc/0x5d4 ptr=000000005b12b475
bytes_req=2312 bytes_alloc=2312 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=-1
accounted=false
# mem_cgroup_per_node allocation
sh-9269 [003] ..... 80.396411: kmem_cache_alloc:
call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x1b8/0x5d4 ptr=00000000f347adc6
bytes_req=2896 bytes_alloc=2896 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=0
accounted=false
While the `bytes_alloc` now matches the `bytes_req`, this patchset
defaults to using `SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN` as it is generally considered more
beneficial for performance. Please let me know if there are any issues or
if I've misunderstood anything.
This patchset also move mem_cgroup_init ahead of cgroup_init() due to
cgroup_init() will allocate root_mem_cgroup, but each initcall invoke
after cgroup_init, so if each kmem_cache do not prepare, we need testing
NULL before use it.
This patch (of 3):
When cgroup_init() creates root_mem_cgroup through css_alloc callback,
some critical resources might not be fully initialized, forcing later
operations to perform conditional checks for resource availability.
This patch move mem_cgroup_init() to address the init order, it invoke
before cgroup_init, so, compare to subsys_initcall, it can use to prepare
some key resources before root_mem_cgroup alloc.

When initcall_debug is specified on the command line, the start and return
point for each initcall is printed. However, no information on the
initcall level is reported.
Add to the initcall_debug infrastructure an additional print that informs
when a new initcall level is entered. This is particularly useful when
debugging dependency chains and/or working on boot time reduction.

Starting with Rust 1.88.0 (expected 2025-06-26) [1][2], `rustc` may
introduce a new lint that catches unnecessary transmutes, e.g.:
error: unnecessary transmute
--> rust/uapi/uapi_generated.rs:23242:18
|
23242 | unsafe { ::core::mem::transmute(self._bitfield_1.get(0usize, 1u8) as u8) }
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ help: replace this with: `(self._bitfield_1.get(0usize, 1u8) as u8 == 1)`
|
= note: `-D unnecessary-transmutes` implied by `-D warnings`
= help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(unnecessary_transmutes)]`
There are a lot of them (at least 300), but luckily they are all in
`bindgen`-generated code.
Thus clean all up by allowing it there.
Since unknown lints trigger a lint itself in older compilers, do it
conditionally so that we can keep the `unknown_lints` lint enabled.

Extend the futex2 interface to be aware of mempolicy.
When FUTEX2_MPOL is specified and there is a MPOL_PREFERRED or
home_node specified covering the futex address, use that hash-map.
Notably, in this case the futex will go to the global node hashtable,
even if it is a PRIVATE futex.
When FUTEX2_NUMA|FUTEX2_MPOL is specified and the user specified node
value is FUTEX_NO_NODE, the MPOL lookup (as described above) will be
tried first before reverting to setting node to the local node.

The futex hash is system wide and shared by all tasks. Each slot
is hashed based on futex address and the VMA of the thread. Due to
randomized VMAs (and memory allocations) the same logical lock (pointer)
can end up in a different hash bucket on each invocation of the
application. This in turn means that different applications may share a
hash bucket on the first invocation but not on the second and it is not
always clear which applications will be involved. This can result in
high latency's to acquire the futex_hash_bucket::lock especially if the
lock owner is limited to a CPU and can not be effectively PI boosted.
Introduce basic infrastructure for process local hash which is shared by
all threads of process. This hash will only be used for a
PROCESS_PRIVATE FUTEX operation.
The hashmap can be allocated via:
prctl(PR_FUTEX_HASH, PR_FUTEX_HASH_SET_SLOTS, num);
A `num' of 0 means that the global hash is used instead of a private
hash.
Other values for `num' specify the number of slots for the hash and the
number must be power of two, starting with two.
The prctl() returns zero on success. This function can only be used
before a thread is created.
The current status for the private hash can be queried via:
num = prctl(PR_FUTEX_HASH, PR_FUTEX_HASH_GET_SLOTS);
which return the current number of slots. The value 0 means that the
global hash is used. Values greater than 0 indicate the number of slots
that are used. A negative number indicates an error.
For optimisation, for the private hash jhash2() uses only two arguments
the address and the offset. This omits the VMA which is always the same.
[peterz: Use 0 for global hash. A bit shuffling and renaming. ]

Patch series "mseal system mappings", v9.
As discussed during mseal() upstream process [1], mseal() protects the
VMAs of a given virtual memory range against modifications, such as the
read/write (RW) and no-execute (NX) bits. For complete descriptions of
memory sealing, please see mseal.rst [2].
The mseal() is useful to mitigate memory corruption issues where a
corrupted pointer is passed to a memory management system. For example,
such an attacker primitive can break control-flow integrity guarantees
since read-only memory that is supposed to be trusted can become writable
or .text pages can get remapped.
The system mappings are readonly only, memory sealing can protect them
from ever changing to writable or unmmap/remapped as different attributes.
System mappings such as vdso, vvar, vvar_vclock, vectors (arm
compat-mode), sigpage (arm compat-mode), are created by the kernel during
program initialization, and could be sealed after creation.
Unlike the aforementioned mappings, the uprobe mapping is not established
during program startup. However, its lifetime is the same as the
process's lifetime [3]. It could be sealed from creation.
The vsyscall on x86-64 uses a special address (0xffffffffff600000), which
is outside the mm managed range. This means mprotect, munmap, and mremap
won't work on the vsyscall. Since sealing doesn't enhance the vsyscall's
security, it is skipped in this patch. If we ever seal the vsyscall, it
is probably only for decorative purpose, i.e. showing the 'sl' flag in
the /proc/pid/smaps. For this patch, it is ignored.
It is important to note that the CHECKPOINT_RESTORE feature (CRIU) may
alter the system mappings during restore operations. UML(User Mode Linux)
and gVisor, rr are also known to change the vdso/vvar mappings.
Consequently, this feature cannot be universally enabled across all
systems. As such, CONFIG_MSEAL_SYSTEM_MAPPINGS is disabled by default.
To support mseal of system mappings, architectures must define
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSEAL_SYSTEM_MAPPINGS and update their special
mappings calls to pass mseal flag. Additionally, architectures must
confirm they do not unmap/remap system mappings during the process
lifetime. The existence of this flag for an architecture implies that it
does not require the remapping of thest system mappings during process
lifetime, so sealing these mappings is safe from a kernel perspective.
This version covers x86-64 and arm64 archiecture as minimum viable feature.
While no specific CPU hardware features are required for enable this
feature on an archiecture, memory sealing requires a 64-bit kernel. Other
architectures can choose whether or not to adopt this feature. Currently,
I'm not aware of any instances in the kernel code that actively
munmap/mremap a system mapping without a request from userspace. The PPC
does call munmap when _install_special_mapping fails for vdso; however,
it's uncertain if this will ever fail for PPC - this needs to be
investigated by PPC in the future [4]. The UML kernel can add this
support when KUnit tests require it [5].
In this version, we've improved the handling of system mapping sealing
from previous versions, instead of modifying the _install_special_mapping
function itself, which would affect all architectures, we now call
_install_special_mapping with a sealing flag only within the specific
architecture that requires it. This targeted approach offers two key
advantages: 1) It limits the code change's impact to the necessary
architectures, and 2) It aligns with the software architecture by keeping
the core memory management within the mm layer, while delegating the
decision of sealing system mappings to the individual architecture, which
is particularly relevant since 32-bit architectures never require sealing.
Prior to this patch series, we explored sealing special mappings from
userspace using glibc's dynamic linker. This approach revealed several
issues:
- The PT_LOAD header may report an incorrect length for vdso, (smaller
than its actual size). The dynamic linker, which relies on PT_LOAD
information to determine mapping size, would then split and partially
seal the vdso mapping. Since each architecture has its own vdso/vvar
code, fixing this in the kernel would require going through each
archiecture. Our initial goal was to enable sealing readonly mappings,
e.g. .text, across all architectures, sealing vdso from kernel since
creation appears to be simpler than sealing vdso at glibc.
- The [vvar] mapping header only contains address information, not
length information. Similar issues might exist for other special
mappings.
- Mappings like uprobe are not covered by the dynamic linker, and there
is no effective solution for them.
This feature's security enhancements will benefit ChromeOS, Android, and
other high security systems.
Testing:
This feature was tested on ChromeOS and Android for both x86-64 and ARM64.
- Enable sealing and verify vdso/vvar, sigpage, vector are sealed properly,
i.e. "sl" shown in the smaps for those mappings, and mremap is blocked.
- Passing various automation tests (e.g. pre-checkin) on ChromeOS and
Android to ensure the sealing doesn't affect the functionality of
Chromebook and Android phone.
I also tested the feature on Ubuntu on x86-64:
- With config disabled, vdso/vvar is not sealed,
- with config enabled, vdso/vvar is sealed, and booting up Ubuntu is OK,
normal operations such as browsing the web, open/edit doc are OK.

ld.lld prior to 21.0.0 does not support using the KEEP keyword within an
overlay description, which may be needed to avoid discarding necessary
sections within an overlay with '--gc-sections', which can be enabled
for the kernel via CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION.
Disallow CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION without support for KEEP
within OVERLAY and introduce a macro, OVERLAY_KEEP, that can be used to
conditionally add KEEP when it is properly supported to avoid breaking

This pull request contains the following branches:
docs.2025.02.04a:
- Add broken-timing possibility to stallwarn.rst.
- Improve discussion of this_cpu_ptr(), add raw_cpu_ptr().
- Document self-propagating callbacks.
- Point call_srcu() to call_rcu() for detailed memory ordering.
- Add CONFIG_RCU_LAZY delays to call_rcu() kernel-doc header.
- Clarify RCU_LAZY and RCU_LAZY_DEFAULT_OFF help text.
- Remove references to old grace-period-wait primitives.
srcu.2025.02.05a:
- Introduce srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast(), which is similar to
srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite(): avoid smp_mb()s in lock and unlock at the
cost of calling synchronize_rcu() in synchronize_srcu(). Moreover, by
returning the percpu offset of the counter at srcu_read_lock_fast()
time, srcu_read_unlock_fast() can save extra pointer dereferencing,
which makes it faster than srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite().
srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast() are intended to replace
rcu_read_{un,}lock_trace() if possible.
torture.2025.02.05a:
- Add get_torture_init_jiffies() to return the start time of the test.
- Add a test_boost_holdoff module parameter to allow delaying boosting
tests when building rcutorture as built-in.
- Add grace period sequence number logging at the beginning and end of
failure/close-call results.
- Switch to hexadecimal for the expedited grace period sequence number
in the rcu_exp_grace_period trace point.
- Make cur_ops->format_gp_seqs take buffer length.
- Move RCU_TORTURE_TEST_{CHK_RDR_STATE,LOG_CPU} to bool.
- Complain when invalid SRCU reader_flavor is specified.
- Add FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE Kconfig for testing, which forces SRCU
uses atomics even when percpu ops are NMI safe, and use the Kconfig
for SRCU lockdep testing.
misc.2025.03.04a:
- Split rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult() mask parameter and use for tracing.
- Remove READ_ONCE() for rdp->gpwrap access in __note_gp_changes().
- Fix get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() GP-start detection.
- Move RCU Tasks self-tests to core_initcall().
- Print segment lengths in show_rcu_nocb_gp_state().
- Make RCU watch ct_kernel_exit_state() warning.
- Flush console log from kernel_power_off().
- rcutorture: Allow a negative value for nfakewriters.
- rcu: Update TREE05.boot to test normal synchronize_rcu().
- rcu: Use _full() API to debug synchronize_rcu().
lazypreempt.2025.03.04a: Make RCU handle PREEMPT_LAZY better:
- Fix header guard for rcu_all_qs().
- rcu: Rename PREEMPT_AUTO to PREEMPT_LAZY.
- Update __cond_resched comment about RCU quiescent states.
- Handle unstable rdp in rcu_read_unlock_strict().
- Handle quiescent states for PREEMPT_RCU=n, PREEMPT_COUNT=y.
- osnoise: Provide quiescent states.
- Adjust rcutorture with possible PREEMPT_RCU=n && PREEMPT_COUNT=y
combination.
- Limit PREEMPT_RCU configurations.
- Make rcutorture senario TREE07 and senario TREE10 use PREEMPT_LAZY=y.
