Clean up inconsistent indentation (mixing tabs and spaces) and remove
extraneous whitespace in several Kconfig files across the tree. This is a
purely cosmetic change to improve readability.
Adjust indentation from spaces to tab (+optional two spaces) as in
coding style with command like:
$ sed -e 's/^ /\t/' -i */Kconfig

This adds support for Software Tag-Based KASAN (KASAN_SW_TAGS) when
CONFIG_RUST is enabled. This requires that rustc includes support for
the kernel-hwaddress sanitizer, which is available since 1.96.0 [1].
Unlike with clang, we need to pass -Zsanitizer-recover in addition to
-Zsanitizer because the option is not implied automatically.
The kasan makefile uses different names for the flags depending on
whether CC is clang or gcc, but as we require that CC is clang when
using KASAN, we do not need to try to handle mixed gcc/llvm builds when
Rust is enabled.

Kernel KASAN involves passing various llvm/gcc specific arguments to
the C and Rust compiler. Since these arguments differ between llvm and
gcc, it's not safe to mix an llvm-based rustc with a gcc build when
kasan is enabled.

The dumpable flag captured at execve() is consulted by
__ptrace_may_access() and several /proc owner / visibility checks.
It lives on mm_struct today, which exit_mm() clears from the task
long before the task itself is reaped.
exec_state is anchored to the execve() that established the current
privilege domain. CLONE_VM siblings refcount-share the parent's
exec_state via copy_exec_state(); non-CLONE_VM clones allocate a
fresh exec_state inheriting the parent's dumpable mode and user_ns
reference via task_exec_state_copy(). execve() allocates a fresh
instance (via alloc_task_exec_state() in begin_new_exec()) and
installs it under task_lock + exec_update_lock with
task_exec_state_replace(). init_task uses a static instance.
The dumpable mode now lives on task->exec_state->dumpable.
task->mm->flags no longer carries dumpability; MMF_DUMPABLE_MASK is
removed, but MMF_DUMPABLE_BITS is reserved so MMF_DUMP_FILTER_* bit
positions remain stable for the /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter ABI. The
task->user_dumpable cache bit and its assignment in exit_mm() are
removed; readers go through get_dumpable(task) directly.
coredump_params gains a snapshot field cprm.dumpable, populated from
get_dumpable(current) at vfs_coredump() entry, replacing the previous
__get_dumpable(cprm->mm_flags) consumers in fs/coredump.c and
fs/pidfs.c.
The user namespace recorded at execve() is consulted by
__ptrace_may_access() and by /proc/PID/* owner derivation. Move the
captured user_ns onto task_exec_state, which stays attached to the task
past exit_mm() and across exit_files().
bprm grows a user_ns field staged in bprm_mm_init() with the caller's
user_ns, narrowed by would_dump() to the closest privileged ancestor,
and consumed by exec_mmap() via alloc_task_exec_state(bprm->user_ns).
free_bprm() releases the staging reference.
mm_struct loses ->user_ns entirely. Initializers in init-mm, efi_mm,
and the implicit one in mm_init()/dup_mm()/mm_alloc() are removed;
__mmdrop() drops the matching put_user_ns(). The kthread_use_mm()
WARN_ON_ONCE(!mm->user_ns) is no longer meaningful and goes too.

There is a simple_strntoul() function used solely as a shortcut
for hex2bin() with proper endianess conversions. Replace that
and drop the unneeded function in the next changes.
This implementation will abort if we fail to parse the cpio header,
instead of using potentially bogus header values.

cpio header fields are 8-byte hex strings, but one "interesting"
side-effect of our historic simple_str[n]toul() use means that a "0x"
(or "0X") prefixed header field will be successfully processed when
coupled alongside a 6-byte hex remainder string.
"0x" prefix support is contrary to the initramfs specification at
Documentation/driver-api/early-userspace/buffer-format.rst which states:
The structure of the cpio_header is as follows (all fields contain
hexadecimal ASCII numbers fully padded with '0' on the left to the
full width of the field, for example, the integer 4780 is represented
by the ASCII string "000012ac"):
Test for this corner case by injecting "0x" prefixes into the uid, gid
and namesize cpio header fields. Confirm that init_stat() returns
matching uid and gid values.
This test can be modified in future to expect unpack_to_rootfs() failure
when header validation is changed to properly follow the specification.
Add some missing struct kstat initializations to account for possible
init_stat() failures.

fill_cpio() uses sprintf() to write out the in-memory cpio archive from
an array of struct initramfs_test_cpio. This change allows callers to
modify the cpio sprintf() format string so that future tests can
intentionally corrupt the header with "0x" and "0X" prefixed fields.

There is a race condition that, after a task is enqueued
on a runqueue, task_llc(p) may change due to CPU hotplug,
because the llc_id is dynamically allocated and adjusted
at runtime.
Therefore, checking task_llc(p) to determine whether the
task is being dequeued from its preferred LLC is unreliable
and can cause inconsistent values.
To fix this problem, record whether p is enqueued on its
preferred LLC, in order to pair with account_llc_dequeue()
to maintain a consistent nr_pref_llc_running per runqueue.
This bug was reported by sashiko, and the solution was once
suggested by Prateek.

Rework the general infrastructure around RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES into more
flexible KMALLOC_PARTITION_CACHES, with the former being a partitioning
mode of the latter.
Introduce a new mode, KMALLOC_PARTITION_TYPED, which leverages a feature
available in Clang 22 and later, called "allocation tokens" via
__builtin_infer_alloc_token() [1]. Unlike KMALLOC_PARTITION_RANDOM
(formerly RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES), this mode deterministically assigns a
slab cache to an allocation of type T, regardless of allocation site.
The builtin __builtin_infer_alloc_token(<malloc-args>, ...) instructs
the compiler to infer an allocation type from arguments commonly passed
to memory-allocating functions and returns a type-derived token ID. The
implementation passes kmalloc-args to the builtin: the compiler performs
best-effort type inference, and then recognizes common patterns such as
`kmalloc(sizeof(T), ...)`, `kmalloc(sizeof(T) * n, ...)`, but also
`(T *)kmalloc(...)`. Where the compiler fails to infer a type the
fallback token (default: 0) is chosen.
Note: kmalloc_obj(..) APIs fix the pattern how size and result type are
expressed, and therefore ensures there's not much drift in which
patterns the compiler needs to recognize. Specifically, kmalloc_obj()
and friends expand to `(TYPE *)KMALLOC(__obj_size, GFP)`, which the
compiler recognizes via the cast to TYPE*.
Clang's default token ID calculation is described as [1]:
typehashpointersplit: This mode assigns a token ID based on the hash
of the allocated type's name, where the top half ID-space is reserved
for types that contain pointers and the bottom half for types that do
not contain pointers.
Separating pointer-containing objects from pointerless objects and data
allocations can help mitigate certain classes of memory corruption
exploits [2]: attackers who gains a buffer overflow on a primitive
buffer cannot use it to directly corrupt pointers or other critical
metadata in an object residing in a different, isolated heap region.
It is important to note that heap isolation strategies offer a
best-effort approach, and do not provide a 100% security guarantee,
albeit achievable at relatively low performance cost. Note that this
also does not prevent cross-cache attacks: while waiting for future
features like SLAB_VIRTUAL [3] to provide physical page isolation, this
feature should be deployed alongside SHUFFLE_PAGE_ALLOCATOR and
init_on_free=1 to mitigate cross-cache attacks and page-reuse attacks as
much as possible today.
With all that, my kernel (x86 defconfig) shows me a histogram of slab
cache object distribution per /proc/slabinfo (after boot):
<slab cache> <objs> <hist>
kmalloc-part-15 1465 ++++++++++++++
kmalloc-part-14 2988 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
kmalloc-part-13 1656 ++++++++++++++++
kmalloc-part-12 1045 ++++++++++
kmalloc-part-11 1697 ++++++++++++++++
kmalloc-part-10 1489 ++++++++++++++
kmalloc-part-09 965 +++++++++
kmalloc-part-08 710 +++++++
kmalloc-part-07 100 +
kmalloc-part-06 217 ++
kmalloc-part-05 105 +
kmalloc-part-04 4047 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
kmalloc-part-03 183 +
kmalloc-part-02 283 ++
kmalloc-part-01 316 +++
kmalloc 1422 ++++++++++++++
The above /proc/slabinfo snapshot shows me there are 6673 allocated
objects (slabs 00 - 07) that the compiler claims contain no pointers or
it was unable to infer the type of, and 12015 objects that contain
pointers (slabs 08 - 15). On a whole, this looks relatively sane.
Additionally, when I compile my kernel with -Rpass=alloc-token, which
provides diagnostics where (after dead-code elimination) type inference
failed, I see 186 allocation sites where the compiler failed to identify
a type (down from 966 when I sent the RFC [4]). Some initial review
confirms these are mostly variable sized buffers, but also include
structs with trailing flexible length arrays.

Move xbc_snprint_cmdline() from init/main.c to lib/bootconfig.c so the
function (and its xbc_namebuf scratch buffer) becomes part of the shared
parser library. tools/bootconfig already compiles lib/bootconfig.c
directly, which lets a follow-up patch reuse the same renderer in the
userspace tool to convert a bootconfig file into a flat cmdline string
at build time.
No functional change.

Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo:
- cgroup sub-scheduler groundwork
Multiple BPF schedulers can be attached to cgroups and the dispatch
path is made hierarchical. This involves substantial restructuring of
the core dispatch, bypass, watchdog, and dump paths to be
per-scheduler, along with new infrastructure for scheduler ownership
enforcement, lifecycle management, and cgroup subtree iteration
The enqueue path is not yet updated and will follow in a later cycle
- scx_bpf_dsq_reenq() generalized to support any DSQ including remote
local DSQs and user DSQs
Built on top of this, SCX_ENQ_IMMED guarantees that tasks dispatched
to local DSQs either run immediately or get reenqueued back through
ops.enqueue(), giving schedulers tighter control over queueing
latency
Also useful for opportunistic CPU sharing across sub-schedulers
- ops.dequeue() was only invoked when the core knew a task was in BPF
data structures, missing scheduling property change events and
skipping callbacks for non-local DSQ dispatches from ops.select_cpu()
Fixed to guarantee exactly one ops.dequeue() call when a task leaves
BPF scheduler custody
- Kfunc access validation moved from runtime to BPF verifier time,
removing runtime mask enforcement
- Idle SMT sibling prioritization in the idle CPU selection path

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Bump the minimum Rust version to 1.85.0 (and 'bindgen' to 0.71.1).
As proposed in LPC 2025 and the Maintainers Summit [1], we are
going to follow Debian Stable's Rust versions as our minimum
versions.
Debian Trixie was released on 2025-08-09 with a Rust 1.85.0 and
'bindgen' 0.71.1 toolchain, which is a fair amount of time for e.g.
kernel developers to upgrade.
Other major distributions support a Rust version that is high
enough as well, including:
+ Arch Linux.
+ Fedora Linux.
+ Gentoo Linux.
+ Nix.
+ openSUSE Slowroll and openSUSE Tumbleweed.
+ Ubuntu 25.10 and 26.04 LTS. In addition, 24.04 LTS using
their versioned packages.
The merged patch series comes with the associated cleanups and
simplifications treewide that can be performed thanks to both
bumps, as well as documentation updates.
In addition, start using 'bindgen''s '--with-attribute-custom-enum'
feature to set the 'cfi_encoding' attribute for the 'lru_status'
enum used in Binder.
Link: https://lwn.net/Articles/1050174/ [1]
- Add experimental Kconfig option ('CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS') that
inlines C helpers into Rust.
Essentially, it performs a step similar to LTO, but just for the
helpers, i.e. very local and fast.
It relies on 'llvm-link' and its '--internalize' flag, and requires
a compatible LLVM between Clang and 'rustc' (i.e. same major
version, 'CONFIG_RUSTC_CLANG_LLVM_COMPATIBLE'). It is only enabled
for two architectures for now.
The result is a measurable speedup in different workloads that
different users have tested. For instance, for the null block
driver, it amounts to a 2%.
- Support global per-version flags.
While we already have per-version flags in many places, we didn't
have a place to set global ones that depend on the compiler
version, i.e. in 'rust_common_flags', which sometimes is needed to
e.g. tweak the lints set per version.
Use that to allow the 'clippy::precedence' lint for Rust < 1.86.0,
since it had a change in behavior.
- Support overriding the crate name and apply it to Rust Binder,
which wanted the module to be called 'rust_binder'.
- Add the remaining '__rust_helper' annotations (started in the
previous cycle).
'kernel' crate:
- Introduce the 'const_assert!' macro: a more powerful version of
'static_assert!' that can refer to generics inside functions or
implementation bodies, e.g.:
fn f<const N: usize>() {
const_assert!(N > 1);
}
fn g<T>() {
const_assert!(size_of::<T>() > 0, "T cannot be ZST");
}
In addition, reorganize our set of build-time assertion macros
('{build,const,static_assert}!') to live in the 'build_assert'
module.
Finally, improve the docs as well to clarify how these are
different from one another and how to pick the right one to use,
and their equivalence (if any) to the existing C ones for extra
clarity.
- 'sizes' module: add 'SizeConstants' trait.
This gives us typed 'SZ_*' constants (avoiding casts) for use in
device address spaces where the address width depends on the
hardware (e.g. 32-bit MMIO windows, 64-bit GPU framebuffers, etc.),
e.g.:
let gpu_heap = 14 * u64::SZ_1M;
let mmio_window = u32::SZ_16M;
- 'clk' module: implement 'Send' and 'Sync' for 'Clk' and thus
simplify the users in Tyr and PWM.
- 'ptr' module: add 'const_align_up'.
- 'str' module: improve the documentation of the 'c_str!' macro to
explain that one should only use it for non-literal cases (for the
other case we instead use C string literals, e.g. 'c"abc"').
- Disallow the use of 'CStr::{as_ptr,from_ptr}' and clean one such
use in the 'task' module.
- 'sync' module: finish the move of 'ARef' and 'AlwaysRefCounted'
outside of the 'types' module, i.e. update the last remaining
instances and finally remove the re-exports.
- 'error' module: clarify that 'from_err_ptr' can return 'Ok(NULL)',
including runtime-tested examples.
The intention is to hopefully prevent UB that assumes the result of
the function is not 'NULL' if successful. This originated from a
case of UB I noticed in 'regulator' that created a 'NonNull' on it.
Timekeeping:
- Expand the example section in the 'HrTimer' documentation.
- Mark the 'ClockSource' trait as unsafe to ensure valid values for
'ktime_get()'.
- Add 'Delta::from_nanos()'.
'pin-init' crate:
- Replace the 'Zeroable' impls for 'Option<NonZero*>' with impls of
'ZeroableOption' for 'NonZero*'.
- Improve feature gate handling for unstable features.
- Declutter the documentation of implementations of 'Zeroable' for
tuples.
- Replace uses of 'addr_of[_mut]!' with '&raw [mut]'.
rust-analyzer:
- Add type annotations to 'generate_rust_analyzer.py'.
- Add support for scripts written in Rust ('generate_rust_target.rs',
'rustdoc_test_builder.rs', 'rustdoc_test_gen.rs').
- Refactor 'generate_rust_analyzer.py' to explicitly identify host
and target crates, improve readability, and reduce duplication.
And some other fixes, cleanups and improvements"

With cache-aware scheduling enabled, each task is assigned a
preferred LLC ID. This allows quick identification of the LLC domain
where the task prefers to run, similar to numa_preferred_nid in
NUMA balancing.

Adds infrastructure to enable cache-aware load balancing,
which improves cache locality by grouping tasks that share resources
within the same cache domain. This reduces cache misses and improves
overall data access efficiency.
In this initial implementation, threads belonging to the same process
are treated as entities that likely share working sets. The mechanism
tracks per-process CPU occupancy across cache domains and attempts to
migrate threads toward cache-hot domains where their process already
has active threads, thereby enhancing locality.
This provides a basic model for cache affinity. While the current code
targets the last-level cache (LLC), the approach could be extended to
other domain types such as clusters (L2) or node-internal groupings.
At present, the mechanism selects the CPU within an LLC that has the
highest recent runtime. Subsequent patches in this series will use this
information in the load-balancing path to guide task placement toward
preferred LLCs.
In the future, more advanced policies could be integrated through NUMA
balancing-for example, migrating a task to its preferred LLC when spare
capacity exists, or swapping tasks across LLCs to improve cache affinity.
Grouping of tasks could also be generalized from that of a process
to be that of a NUMA group, or be user configurable.

With the Rust version bump in place, the `RUSTC_HAS_COERCE_POINTEE`
Kconfig (automatic) option is always true.
Thus remove the option and simplify the code.
In particular, this includes removing our use of the predecessor unstable
features we used with Rust < 1.84.0 (`coerce_unsized`, `dispatch_from_dyn`
and `unsize`).

With the Rust version bump in place, the `RUSTC_HAS_SLICE_AS_FLATTENED`
Kconfig (automatic) option is always true.
Thus remove the option and simplify the code.
In particular, this includes removing the `slice` module which contained
the temporary slice helpers, i.e. the `AsFlattened` extension trait and
its `impl`s.

With the Rust version bump in place, several Kconfig conditions based on
`RUSTC_VERSION` are always true.
Thus simplify them.
The minimum supported major LLVM version by our new Rust minimum version
is now LLVM 18, instead of LLVM 16. However, there are no possible

CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, CONFIG_COMPACTION and CONFIG_CMA all select
CONFIG_MIGRATION, because they require it to work (users).
Only CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING and CONFIG_BALLOON_MIGRATION depend on
CONFIG_MIGRATION. CONFIG_BALLOON_MIGRATION is not an actual user, but an
implementation of migration support, so the dependency is correct
(CONFIG_BALLOON_MIGRATION does not make any sense without
CONFIG_MIGRATION).
However, kconfig-language.rst clearly states "In general use select only
for non-visible symbols". So far CONFIG_MIGRATION is user-visible ...
and the dependencies rather confusing.
The whole reason why CONFIG_MIGRATION is user-visible is because of
CONFIG_NUMA: some users might want CONFIG_NUMA but not page migration
support.
Let's clean all that up by introducing a dedicated CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION
config option for that purpose only. Make CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING that so
far depended on CONFIG_NUMA && CONFIG_MIGRATION to depend on
CONFIG_MIGRATION instead. CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION will depend on
CONFIG_NUMA && CONFIG_MMU.
CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION is user-visible and will default to "y". We use
that default so new configs will automatically enable it, just like it was
the case with CONFIG_MIGRATION. The downside is that some configs that
used to have CONFIG_MIGRATION=n might get it re-enabled by
CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION=y, which shouldn't be a problem.
CONFIG_MIGRATION is now a non-visible config option. Any code that select
CONFIG_MIGRATION (as before) must depend directly or indirectly on
CONFIG_MMU.
CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION is responsible for any NUMA migration code, which is
mempolicy migration code, memory-tiering code, and move_pages() code in
migrate.c. CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING uses its functionality.
Note that this implies that with CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION=n, move_pages()
will not be available even though CONFIG_MIGRATION=y, which is an expected
change.
In migrate.c, we can remove the CONFIG_NUMA check as both
CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION and CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING depend on it.
With this change, CONFIG_MIGRATION is an internal config, all users of
migration selects CONFIG_MIGRATION, and only CONFIG_BALLOON_MIGRATION
depends on it.

Software nodes depend on kernel_kobj which is initialized pretty late
into the boot process - as a core_initcall(). Ahead of moving the
software node initialization to driver_init() we must first make
kernel_kobj available before it.
Make ksysfs_init() visible in a new header - ksysfs.h - and call it in
do_basic_setup() right before driver_init().

This config detects if Rust and Clang have matching LLVM major version.
All IR or bitcode operations (e.g. LTO) rely on LLVM major version to be
matching, otherwise it may generate errors, or worse, miscompile
silently due to change of IR semantics.
It's usually suggested to use the exact same LLVM version, but this can
be difficult to guarantee. Rust's suggestion [1] is also major-version
only, so I think this check is sufficient for the kernel.

Previously, missing time namespace support in the vDSO meant that time
namespaces needed to be disabled globally. This was expressed in a hard
dependency on the generic vDSO library. This also meant that architectures
without any vDSO or only a stub vDSO could not enable time namespaces.
Now that all architectures using a real vDSO are using the generic library,
that dependency is not necessary anymore.
Remove the dependency and let all architectures enable time namespaces.

Previously different architectures were using random sources of
differing strength and cost to decide the random kstack offset. A number
of architectures (loongarch, powerpc, s390, x86) were using their
timestamp counter, at whatever the frequency happened to be. Other
arches (arm64, riscv) were using entropy from the crng via
get_random_u16().
There have been concerns that in some cases the timestamp counters may
be too weak, because they can be easily guessed or influenced by user
space. And get_random_u16() has been shown to be too costly for the
level of protection kstack offset randomization provides.
So let's use a common, architecture-agnostic source of entropy; a
per-cpu prng, seeded at boot-time from the crng. This has a few
benefits:
- We can remove choose_random_kstack_offset(); That was only there to
try to make the timestamp counter value a bit harder to influence
from user space [*].
- The architecture code is simplified. All it has to do now is call
add_random_kstack_offset() in the syscall path.
- The strength of the randomness can be reasoned about independently
of the architecture.
- Arches previously using get_random_u16() now have much faster
syscall paths, see below results.
[*] Additionally, this gets rid of some redundant work on s390 and x86.
Before this patch, those architectures called
choose_random_kstack_offset() under arch_exit_to_user_mode_prepare(),
which is also called for exception returns to userspace which were *not*
syscalls (e.g. regular interrupts). Getting rid of
choose_random_kstack_offset() avoids a small amount of redundant work
for the non-syscall cases.
In some configurations, add_random_kstack_offset() will now call
instrumentable code, so for a couple of arches, I have moved the call a
bit later to the first point where instrumentation is allowed. This
doesn't impact the efficacy of the mechanism.
There have been some claims that a prng may be less strong than the
timestamp counter if not regularly reseeded. But the prng has a period
of about 2^113. So as long as the prng state remains secret, it should
not be possible to guess. If the prng state can be accessed, we have
bigger problems.
Additionally, we are only consuming 6 bits to randomize the stack, so
there are only 64 possible random offsets. I assert that it would be
trivial for an attacker to brute force by repeating their attack and
waiting for the random stack offset to be the desired one. The prng
approach seems entirely proportional to this level of protection.
Performance data are provided below. The baseline is v6.18 with rndstack
on for each respective arch. (I)/(R) indicate statistically significant
improvement/regression. arm64 platform is AWS Graviton3 (m7g.metal).

I tested an earlier version of this change on x86 bare metal and it
showed a smaller but still significant improvement. The bare metal
system wasn't available this time around so testing was done in a VM
instance. I'm guessing the cost of rdtsc is higher for VMs.

kstack_offset was previously maintained per-cpu, but this caused a
couple of issues. So let's instead make it per-task.
Issue 1: add_random_kstack_offset() and choose_random_kstack_offset()
expected and required to be called with interrupts and preemption
disabled so that it could manipulate per-cpu state. But arm64, loongarch
and risc-v are calling them with interrupts and preemption enabled. I
don't _think_ this causes any functional issues, but it's certainly
unexpected and could lead to manipulating the wrong cpu's state, which
could cause a minor performance degradation due to bouncing the cache
lines. By maintaining the state per-task those functions can safely be
called in preemptible context.
Issue 2: add_random_kstack_offset() is called before executing the
syscall and expands the stack using a previously chosen random offset.
choose_random_kstack_offset() is called after executing the syscall and
chooses and stores a new random offset for the next syscall. With
per-cpu storage for this offset, an attacker could force cpu migration
during the execution of the syscall and prevent the offset from being
updated for the original cpu such that it is predictable for the next
syscall on that cpu. By maintaining the state per-task, this problem
goes away because the per-task random offset is updated after the
syscall regardless of which cpu it is executing on.

When building with SCHED_CLASS_EXT=y but CGROUPS=n, clang reports errors
for undeclared cgroup_put() and cgroup_get() calls, and a warning for the
unused err_stop_helper label.
EXT_SUB_SCHED is def_bool y depending only on SCHED_CLASS_EXT, but it
fundamentally requires cgroups (cgroup_path, cgroup_get, cgroup_put,
cgroup_id, etc.). Add the missing CGROUPS dependency to EXT_SUB_SCHED in
init/Kconfig.
Guard cgroup_put() and cgroup_get() in the common paths with:
#if defined(CONFIG_EXT_GROUP_SCHED) || defined(CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED)
Guard the err_stop_helper label with #ifdef CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED since
all gotos targeting it are inside that same ifdef block.

Clang recently added '-fms-anonymous-structs' [1] to specifically enable
the Microsoft tagged anonymous structure / union extension, for which
the kernel added '-fms-extensions' in commit c4781dc3d1cf ("Kbuild:
enable -fms-extensions"). Switch to this more narrow option if it is
available, which would have helped avoid the issue addressed by
commit a6773e6932cb ("jfs: Rename _inline to avoid conflict with clang's
'-fms-extensions'"). GCC has talked about adding a similar flag [2] as
well but potentially naming it differently.
Move the selection of the flag to Kconfig to make it easier to use
cc-option (as CC_FLAGS_DIALECT may be used in arch Makefiles, which may
be too early for cc-option in Kbuild) and customize based on compiler
flag names.

Allocating the data pages as part of the kernel image does not work on
SPARC. The MMU will raise a fault when userspace tries to access them.
Allocate the data pages through the page allocator instead.
Unused pages in the vDSO VMA are still allocated to keep the virtual
addresses aligned. Switch the mapping from PFNs to 'struct page' as that is
required for dynamically allocated pages. This also aligns the allocation
of the datapages with the code pages and is a prerequisite for mlockall()
support.
VM_MIXEDMAP is necessary for the call to vmf_insert_page() in the timens
prefault path to work.
The data pages need to be order-0, non-compound pages so that the mapping
to userspace and the different orderings work.
These pages are also used by the timekeeping, random pool and architecture
initialization code. Some of these are running before the page allocator is
available. To keep these subsytems working without changes, introduce
early, statically data storage which will then replaced by the real one as
soon as that is available.

A system often runs multiple workloads especially in multi-tenant server
environments where a system is split into partitions servicing separate
more-or-less independent workloads each requiring an application-specific
scheduler. To support such and other use cases, sched_ext is in the process
of growing multiple scheduler support.
When partitioning a system in terms of CPUs for such use cases, an
oft-taken approach is hard partitioning the system using cpuset. While it
would be possible to tie sched_ext multiple scheduler support to cpuset
partitions, such an approach would have fundamental limitations stemming
from the lack of dynamism and flexibility.
Users often don't care which specific CPUs are assigned to which workload
and want to take advantage of optimizations which are enabled by running
workloads on a larger machine - e.g. opportunistic over-commit, improving
latency critical workload characteristics while maintaining bandwidth
fairness, employing control mechanisms based on different criteria than
on-CPU time for e.g. flexible memory bandwidth isolation, packing similar
parts from different workloads on same L3s to improve cache efficiency,
and so on.
As this sort of dynamic behaviors are impossible or difficult to implement
with hard partitioning, sched_ext is implementing cgroup sub-sched support
where schedulers can be attached to the cgroup hierarchy and a parent
scheduler is responsible for controlling the CPUs that each child can use
at any given moment. This makes CPU distribution dynamically controlled by
BPF allowing high flexibility.
This patch adds the skeletal sched_ext cgroup sub-sched support:
- sched_ext_ops.sub_cgroup_id and .sub_attach/detach() are added. Non-zero
sub_cgroup_id indicates that the scheduler is to be attached to the
identified cgroup. A sub-sched is attached to the cgroup iff the nearest
ancestor scheduler implements .sub_attach() and grants the attachment. Max
nesting depth is limited by SCX_SUB_MAX_DEPTH.
- When a scheduler exits, all its descendant schedulers are exited
together. Also, cgroup.scx_sched added which points to the effective
scheduler instance for the cgroup. This is updated on scheduler
init/exit and inherited on cgroup online. When a cgroup is offlined, the
attached scheduler is automatically exited.
- Sub-sched support is gated on CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED which is
automatically enabled if both SCX and cgroups are enabled. Sub-sched
support is not tied to the CPU controller but rather the cgroup
hierarchy itself. This is intentional as the support for cpu.weight and
cpu.max based resource control is orthogonal to sub-sched support. Note
that CONFIG_CGROUPS around cgroup subtree iteration support for
scx_task_iter is replaced with CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED for consistency.
- This allows loading sub-scheds and most framework operations such as
propagating disable down the hierarchy work. However, sub-scheds are not
operational yet and all tasks stay with the root sched. This will serve
as the basis for building up full sub-sched support.
- DSQs point to the scx_sched they belong to.
- scx_qmap is updated to allow attachment of sub-scheds and also serving
as sub-scheds.
- scx_is_descendant() is added but not yet used in this patch. It is used by
later changes in the series and placed here as this is where the function
belongs.

Commit d39a1d7486d9 ("compiler_types: Disable __builtin_counted_by_ref

the fix was only merged in main (23.0.0) and release/22.x (22.1.0). With
the current fixed version number, prerelease or Android LLVM 22 builds

This can be particularly disruptive when bisecting LLVM.
Use 21.1.0 as the fixed version number to ensure the fix for this crash
is always present.

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*'.

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

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

Unfortunately, there is a corner case of __builtin_counted_by_ref()
usage that crashes[1] Clang since support was introduced in Clang 19.
Disable it prior to Clang 22. Found while tested kmalloc_obj treewide
refactoring (via kmalloc_flex() usage).

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Scheduler Kconfig space updates:
- Further consolidate configurable preemption modes (Peter Zijlstra)
Reduce the number of architectures that are allowed to offer
PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number of
preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy' on
up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv, s390,
x86).
None and voluntary are only available as legacy features on
platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet, or which don't
even support preemption.
The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and voluntary
preemption altogether.
RSEQ based 'scheduler time slice extension' support (Thomas Gleixner
and Peter Zijlstra):

a critical section to avoid contention on a resource when the thread
is scheduled out inside of the critical section.

- Provide static branch for time slice extensions
- Add statistics for time slice extensions
- Add prctl() to enable time slice extensions

improves the scalability of various workloads (Shubhang Kaushik)
- Reorder fields in 'struct rq' for better caching (Blake Jones)
- Fair scheduler SMP NOHZ balancing code speedups (Shrikanth Hegde):
- Move checking for nohz cpus after time check
- Change likelyhood of nohz.nr_cpus
- Remove nohz.nr_cpus and use weight of cpumask instead
- Avoid false sharing for sched_clock_irqtime (Wangyang Guo)
- Cleanups (Yury Norov):

Pull performance event updates from Ingo Molnar:
"x86 PMU driver updates:
- Add support for the core PMU for Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs
(Dapeng Mi)
Compared to previous iterations of the Intel PMU code, there's been
a lot of changes, which center around three main areas:
- Introduce the OFF-MODULE RESPONSE (OMR) facility to replace the
Off-Core Response (OCR) facility
- New PEBS data source encoding layout
- Support the new "RDPMC user disable" feature
- Likewise, a large series adds uncore PMU support for Intel Diamond
Rapids (DMR) CPUs (Zide Chen)
This centers around these four main areas:
- DMR may have two Integrated I/O and Memory Hub (IMH) dies,
separate from the compute tile (CBB) dies. Each CBB and each IMH
die has its own discovery domain.
- Unlike prior CPUs that retrieve the global discovery table
portal exclusively via PCI or MSR, DMR uses PCI for IMH PMON
discovery and MSR for CBB PMON discovery.
- DMR introduces several new PMON types: SCA, HAMVF, D2D_ULA, UBR,
PCIE4, CRS, CPC, ITC, OTC, CMS, and PCIE6.
- IIO free-running counters in DMR are MMIO-based, unlike SPR.
- Also add support for Add missing PMON units for Intel Panther Lake,
and support Nova Lake (NVL), which largely maps to Panther Lake.
(Zide Chen)
- KVM integration: Add support for mediated vPMUs (by Kan Liang and
Sean Christopherson, with fixes and cleanups by Peter Zijlstra,
Sandipan Das and Mingwei Zhang)
- Add Intel cstate driver to support for Wildcat Lake (WCL) CPUs,
which are a low-power variant of Panther Lake (Zide Chen)
- Add core, cstate and MSR PMU support for the Airmont NP Intel CPU
(aka MaxLinear Lightning Mountain), which maps to the existing
Airmont code (Martin Schiller)
Performance enhancements:
- Speed up kexec shutdown by avoiding unnecessary cross CPU calls
(Jan H. Schönherr)
- Fix slow perf_event_task_exit() with LBR callstacks (Namhyung Kim)
User-space stack unwinding support:
- Various cleanups and refactorings in preparation to generalize the

Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
"The kthread code provides an infrastructure which manages the
preferred affinity of unbound kthreads (node or custom cpumask)
against housekeeping (CPU isolation) constraints and CPU hotplug
events.
One crucial missing piece is the handling of cpuset: when an isolated
partition is created, deleted, or its CPUs updated, all the unbound
kthreads in the top cpuset become indifferently affine to _all_ the
non-isolated CPUs, possibly breaking their preferred affinity along
the way.
Solve this with performing the kthreads affinity update from cpuset to
the kthreads consolidated relevant code instead so that preferred
affinities are honoured and applied against the updated cpuset
isolated partitions.
The dispatch of the new isolated cpumasks to timers, workqueues and
kthreads is performed by housekeeping, as per the nice Tejun's
suggestion.
As a welcome side effect, HK_TYPE_DOMAIN then integrates both the set
from boot defined domain isolation (through isolcpus=) and cpuset
isolated partitions. Housekeeping cpumasks are now modifiable with a
specific RCU based synchronization. A big step toward making
nohz_full= also mutable through cpuset in the future"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a mix of VFS cleanups, performance improvements, API
fixes, documentation, and a deprecation notice.
Scalability and performance:
- Rework pid allocation to only take pidmap_lock once instead of
twice during alloc_pid(), improving thread creation/teardown
throughput by 10-16% depending on false-sharing luck. Pad the
namespace refcount to reduce false-sharing
- Track file lock presence via a flag in ->i_opflags instead of
reading ->i_flctx, avoiding false-sharing with ->i_readcount on
open/close hot paths. Measured 4-16% improvement on 24-core
open-in-a-loop benchmarks
- Use a consume fence in locks_inode_context() to match the
store-release/load-consume idiom, eliminating a hardware fence on
some architectures
- Annotate cdev_lock with __cacheline_aligned_in_smp to prevent
false-sharing
- Remove a redundant DCACHE_MANAGED_DENTRY check in
__follow_mount_rcu() that never fires since the caller already
verifies it, eliminating a 100% mispredicted branch
- Fix a 100% mispredicted likely() in devcgroup_inode_permission()
that became wrong after a prior code reorder
Bug fixes and correctness:
- Make insert_inode_locked() wait for inode destruction instead of
skipping, fixing a corner case where two matching inodes could
exist in the hash
- Move f_mode initialization before file_ref_init() in alloc_file()
to respect the SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU ordering contract
- Add a WARN_ON_ONCE guard in try_to_free_buffers() for folios with
no buffers attached, preventing a null pointer dereference when
AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS is set but no release_folio op exists
- Fix select restart_block to store end_time as timespec64, avoiding
truncation of tv_sec on 32-bit architectures
- Make dump_inode() use get_kernel_nofault() to safely access inode
and superblock fields, matching the dump_mapping() pattern
API modernization:
- Make posix_acl_to_xattr() allocate the buffer internally since
every single caller was doing it anyway. Reduces boilerplate and
unnecessary error checking across ~15 filesystems
- Replace deprecated simple_strtoul() with kstrtoul() for the
ihash_entries, dhash_entries, mhash_entries, and mphash_entries
boot parameters, adding proper error handling
- Convert chardev code to use guard(mutex) and __free(kfree) cleanup
patterns
- Replace min_t() with min() or umin() in VFS code to avoid silently
truncating unsigned long to unsigned int
- Gate LOOKUP_RCU assertions behind CONFIG_DEBUG_VFS since callers
already check the flag
Deprecation:
- Begin deprecating legacy BSD process accounting (acct(2)). The
interface has numerous footguns and better alternatives exist
(eBPF)
Documentation:
- Fix and complete kernel-doc for struct export_operations, removing
duplicated documentation between ReST and source
- Fix kernel-doc warnings for __start_dirop() and ilookup5_nowait()
Testing:
- Add a kunit test for initramfs cpio handling of entries with
filesize > PATH_MAX

Pull vfs nullfs update from Christian Brauner:
"Add a completely catatonic minimal pseudo filesystem called "nullfs"
and make pivot_root() work in the initramfs.
Currently pivot_root() does not work on the real rootfs because it
cannot be unmounted. Userspace has to recursively delete initramfs
contents manually before continuing boot, using the fragile
switch_root sequence (overmount + chroot).
Add nullfs, a minimal immutable filesystem that serves as the true
root of the mount hierarchy. The mutable rootfs (tmpfs/ramfs) is
mounted on top of it. This allows userspace to simply:
chdir(new_root);
pivot_root(".", ".");
umount2(".", MNT_DETACH);
without the traditional switch_root workarounds. systemd already
handles this correctly. It tries pivot_root() first and falls back
to MS_MOVE only when that fails.
This also means rootfs mounts in unprivileged namespaces no longer
need MNT_LOCKED, since the immutable nullfs guarantees nothing can be
revealed by unmounting the covering mount.
nullfs is a single-instance filesystem (get_tree_single()) marked
SB_NOUSER | SB_I_NOEXEC | SB_I_NODEV with an immutable empty root
directory. This means sooner or later it can be used to overmount
other directories to hide their contents without any additional
protection needed.
We enable it unconditionally. If we see any real regression we'll
hide it behind a boot option.
nullfs has extensions beyond this in the future. It will serve as a
concept to support the creation of completely empty mount namespaces -
which is work coming up in the next cycle"

Pull vfs initrd removal from Christian Brauner:
"Remove the deprecated linuxrc-based initrd code path and related dead
code. The linuxrc initrd path was deprecated in 2020 and this series
completes its removal. If we see real-life regressions we'll revert.
The core change removes handle_initrd() and init_linuxrc() — the
entire flow that ran /linuxrc from an initrd, pivoted roots, and
handed off to the real root filesystem. With that gone, initrd_load()
becomes void (no longer short-circuits prepare_namespace()),
rd_load_image() is simplified to always load /initrd.image instead of
taking a path, and rd_load_disk() is deleted.
The /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev sysctl and its backing variable are
removed since they only existed for linuxrc to communicate the real
root device back to the kernel.
The no-op load_ramdisk= and prompt_ramdisk= parameters are dropped,
and noinitrd and ramdisk_start= gain deprecation warnings.
Initramfs is entirely unaffected. The non-linuxrc initrd path
(root=/dev/ram0) is preserved but now carries a deprecation warning
targeting January 2027 removal"

Until now, cpuset would propagate isolated partition changes to
workqueues so that unbound workers get properly reaffined.
Since housekeeping now centralizes, synchronize and propagates isolation
cpumask changes, perform the work from that subsystem for consolidation
and consistency purposes.
For simplification purpose, the target function is adapted to take the
new housekeeping mask instead of the isolated mask.

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

Introduce __counted_by_ptr(), which works like __counted_by(), but for
pointer struct members.
struct foo {
int a, b, c;
char *buffer __counted_by_ptr(bytes);
short nr_bars;
struct bar *bars __counted_by_ptr(nr_bars);
size_t bytes;
};
Because "counted_by" can only be applied to pointer members in very
recent compiler versions, its application ends up needing to be distinct
from flexibe array "counted_by" annotations, hence a separate macro.
This is a reworking of Kees' previous patch [1].

The header tests try to compile each header. Some UAPI headers depend on
libc headers so they need a full userspace toolchain to build. This
dependency is expressed in kconfig as a dependency on CC_CAN_LINK.
Many kernel builds do not satisfy CC_CAN_LINK as they only use a
minimal kernel (cross-) compiler. In those configurations the UAPI
headers are not tested at all.
However most UAPI headers do not even depend on any libc headers,
and such dependencies are undesired in any case. Also the static
analysis performed by headers_check.pl does not need CC_CAN_LINK.
Drop the hard dependency on CC_CAN_LINK and instead skip the affected
compilation step for exactly those headers which require libc.

Remove the "nullfs_rootfs" boot parameter and simply always use nullfs.
The mutable rootfs will be mounted on top of it. Systems that don't use
pivot_root() to pivot away from the real rootfs will have an additional
mount stick around but that shouldn't be a problem at all. If it is
we'll rever this commit.
This also simplifies the boot process and removes the need for the

Currently pivot_root() doesn't work on the real rootfs because it
cannot be unmounted. Userspace has to do a recursive removal of the
initramfs contents manually before continuing the boot.
Really all we want from the real rootfs is to serve as the parent mount
for anything that is actually useful such as the tmpfs or ramfs for
initramfs unpacking or the rootfs itself. There's no need for the real
rootfs to actually be anything meaningful or useful. Add a immutable
rootfs called "nullfs" that can be selected via the "nullfs_rootfs"
kernel command line option.
The kernel will mount a tmpfs/ramfs on top of it, unpack the initramfs
and fire up userspace which mounts the rootfs and can then just do:
chdir(rootfs);
pivot_root(".", ".");
umount2(".", MNT_DETACH);
and be done with it. (Ofc, userspace can also choose to retain the
initramfs contents by using something like pivot_root(".", "/initramfs")
without unmounting it.)
Technically this also means that the rootfs mount in unprivileged
namespaces doesn't need to become MNT_LOCKED anymore as it's guaranteed
that the immutable rootfs remains permanently empty so there cannot be
anything revealed by unmounting the covering mount.
In the future this will also allow us to create completely empty mount
namespaces without risking to leak anything.
systemd already handles this all correctly as it tries to pivot_root()
first and falls back to MS_MOVE only when that fails.
This goes back to various discussion in previous years and a LPC 2024
presentation about this very topic.

In addition, the rcu_tasks_trace_qs(), rcu_tasks_trace_qs_blkd(),
exit_tasks_rcu_finish_trace(), and rcu_spawn_tasks_trace_kthread(),
show_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread(), rcu_tasks_trace_get_gp_data(),
rcu_tasks_trace_torture_stats_print(), and get_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread()
functions and all the other functions that they invoke are no longer used.
Also, the TRC_NEED_QS and TRC_NEED_QS_CHECKED CPP macros are no longer used.
Neither are the rcu_tasks_trace_lazy_ms and rcu_task_ipi_delay rcupdate
module parameters and the TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB Kconfig option.
This commit therefore removes all of them.

This patch implements kconfig re-sync when the pahole version changes
between builds, similar to how it happens for compiler version change
via CC_VERSION_TEXT.
Define PAHOLE_VERSION in the top-level Makefile and export it for
config builds. Set CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION default to the exported
variable.
Kconfig records the PAHOLE_VERSION value in
include/config/auto.conf.cmd [1].
The Makefile includes auto.conf.cmd, so if PAHOLE_VERSION changes
between builds, make detects a dependency change and triggers
syncconfig to update the kconfig [2].
For external module builds, add a warning message in the prepare
target, similar to the existing compiler version mismatch warning.
Note that if pahole is not installed or available, PAHOLE_VERSION is
set to 0 by pahole-version.sh, so the (un)installation of pahole is
treated as a version change.
See previous discussions for context [3].

Currently, exposing PMU capabilities to a KVM guest is done by emulating
guest PMCs via host perf events, i.e. by having KVM be "just" another user
of perf. As a result, the guest and host are effectively competing for
resources, and emulating guest accesses to vPMU resources requires
expensive actions (expensive relative to the native instruction). The
overhead and resource competition results in degraded guest performance
and ultimately very poor vPMU accuracy.
To address the issues with the perf-emulated vPMU, introduce a "mediated
vPMU", where the data plane (PMCs and enable/disable knobs) is exposed
directly to the guest, but the control plane (event selectors and access
to fixed counters) is managed by KVM (via MSR interceptions). To allow
host perf usage of the PMU to (partially) co-exist with KVM/guest usage
of the PMU, KVM and perf will coordinate to a world switch between host
perf context and guest vPMU context near VM-Enter/VM-Exit.
Add two exported APIs, perf_{create,release}_mediated_pmu(), to allow KVM
to create and release a mediated PMU instance (per VM). Because host perf
context will be deactivated while the guest is running, mediated PMU usage
will be mutually exclusive with perf analysis of the guest, i.e. perf
events that do NOT exclude the guest will not behave as expected.
To avoid silent failure of !exclude_guest perf events, disallow creating a
mediated PMU if there are active !exclude_guest events, and on the perf
side, disallowing creating new !exclude_guest perf events while there is
at least one active mediated PMU.
Exempt PMU resources that do not support mediated PMU usage, i.e. that are
outside the scope/view of KVM's vPMU and will not be swapped out while the
guest is running.
Guard mediated PMU with a new kconfig to help readers identify code paths
that are unique to mediated PMU support, and to allow for adding arch-
specific hooks without stubs. KVM x86 is expected to be the only KVM
architecture to support a mediated PMU in the near future (e.g. arm64 is
trending toward a partitioned PMU implementation), and KVM x86 will select
PERF_GUEST_MEDIATED_PMU unconditionally, i.e. won't need stubs.
Immediately select PERF_GUEST_MEDIATED_PMU when KVM x86 is enabled so that
all paths are compile tested. Full KVM support is on its way...

is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the
cover letter:
This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.
As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
RAM across the kexec reboot.
Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
testing work.

Pull persistent dentry infrastructure and conversion from Al Viro:
"Some filesystems use a kinda-sorta controlled dentry refcount leak to
pin dentries of created objects in dcache (and undo it when removing
those). A reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually
_stored_ anywhere.
That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other things, we
have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended to be an
unpaired one. Worse, on removal we need to decide whether the
reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if that
removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is
pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done. Usually that is handled by using
kill_litter_super() as ->kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special
cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self).
Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag
(DCACHE_PERSISTENT) marking those "leaked" dentries. Having it set
claims responsibility for +1 in refcount.
The end result this series is aiming for:
- get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives
that would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear
persistency flag.
- instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the
remaining "leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't
been removed prior to umount), have the regular
shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries,
dropping the corresponding reference if it had been set. After that
kill_litter_super() becomes an equivalent of kill_anon_super().
Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many
places in too many filesystems. It has to be split into a series.
This work has really started early in 2024; quite a few preliminary
pieces have already gone into mainline. This chunk is finally getting
to the meat of that stuff - infrastructure and most of the conversions
to it.
Some pieces are still sitting in the local branches, but the bulk of
that stuff is here"

Pull rseq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large overhaul of the restartable sequences and CID management:
The recent enablement of RSEQ in glibc resulted in regressions which
are caused by the related overhead. It turned out that the decision to
invoke the exit to user work was not really a decision. More or less
each context switch caused that. There is a long list of small issues
which sums up nicely and results in a 3-4% regression in I/O
benchmarks.
The other detail which caused issues due to extra work in context
switch and task migration is the CID (memory context ID) management.
It also requires to use a task work to consolidate the CID space,
which is executed in the context of an arbitrary task and results in
sporadic uncontrolled exit latencies.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Removing deprecated and long unsupported functionality
- Moving the related data into dedicated data structures which are
optimized for fast path processing.
- Caching values so actual decisions can be made
- Replacing the current implementation with a optimized inlined
variant.
- Separating fast and slow path for architectures which use the
generic entry code, so that only fault and error handling goes into
the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME handler.
- Rewriting the CID management so that it becomes mostly invisible in
the context switch path. That moves the work of switching modes
into the fork/exit path, which is a reasonable tradeoff. That work
is only required when a process creates more threads than the
cpuset it is allowed to run on or when enough threads exit after
that. An artificial thread pool benchmarks which triggers this did
not degrade, it actually improved significantly.
The main effect in migration heavy scenarios is that runqueue lock
held time and therefore contention goes down significantly"

Pull cred guard updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains substantial credential infrastructure improvements
adding guard-based credential management that simplifies code and
eliminates manual reference counting in many subsystems.
Features:
- Kernel Credential Guards
Add with_kernel_creds() and scoped_with_kernel_creds() guards that
allow using the kernel credentials without allocating and copying
them. This was requested by Linus after seeing repeated
prepare_kernel_creds() calls that duplicate the kernel credentials
only to drop them again later.
The new guards completely avoid the allocation and never expose the
temporary variable to hold the kernel credentials anywhere in
callers.
- Generic Credential Guards
Add scoped_with_creds() guards for the common override_creds() and
revert_creds() pattern. This builds on earlier work that made
override_creds()/revert_creds() completely reference count free.
- Prepare Credential Guards
Add prepare credential guards for the more complex pattern of
preparing a new set of credentials and overriding the current
credentials with them:
- prepare_creds()
- modify new creds
- override_creds()
- revert_creds()
- put_cred()
Cleanups:
- Make init_cred static since it should not be directly accessed
- Add kernel_cred() helper to properly access the kernel credentials
- Fix scoped_class() macro that was introduced two cycles ago
- coredump: split out do_coredump() from vfs_coredump() for cleaner
credential handling
- coredump: move revert_cred() before coredump_cleanup()
- coredump: mark struct mm_struct as const
- coredump: pass struct linux_binfmt as const
- sev-dev: use guard for path"

Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains substantial namespace infrastructure changes including a new
system call, active reference counting, and extensive header cleanups.
The branch depends on the shared kbuild branch for -fms-extensions support.
Features:
- listns() system call
Add a new listns() system call that allows userspace to iterate
through namespaces in the system. This provides a programmatic
interface to discover and inspect namespaces, addressing
longstanding limitations:
Currently, there is no direct way for userspace to enumerate
namespaces. Applications must resort to scanning /proc/*/ns/ across
all processes, which is:
- Inefficient - requires iterating over all processes
- Incomplete - misses namespaces not attached to any running
process but kept alive by file descriptors, bind mounts, or
parent references
- Permission-heavy - requires access to /proc for many processes
- No ordering or ownership information
- No filtering per namespace type
The listns() system call solves these problems:
ssize_t listns(const struct ns_id_req *req, u64 *ns_ids,
size_t nr_ns_ids, unsigned int flags);
struct ns_id_req {
__u32 size;
__u32 spare;
__u64 ns_id;
struct /* listns */ {
__u32 ns_type;
__u32 spare2;
__u64 user_ns_id;
};
};
Features include:
- Pagination support for large namespace sets
- Filtering by namespace type (MNT_NS, NET_NS, USER_NS, etc.)
- Filtering by owning user namespace
- Permission checks respecting namespace isolation
- Active Reference Counting
Introduce an active reference count that tracks namespace
visibility to userspace. A namespace is visible in the following
cases:
- The namespace is in use by a task
- The namespace is persisted through a VFS object (namespace file
descriptor or bind-mount)
- The namespace is a hierarchical type and is the parent of child
namespaces
The active reference count does not regulate lifetime (that's still
done by the normal reference count) - it only regulates visibility
to namespace file handles and listns().
This prevents resurrection of namespaces that are pinned only for
internal kernel reasons (e.g., user namespaces held by
file->f_cred, lazy TLB references on idle CPUs, etc.) which should
not be accessible via (1)-(3).
- Unified Namespace Tree
Introduce a unified tree structure for all namespaces with:
- Fixed IDs assigned to initial namespaces
- Lookup based solely on inode number
- Maintained list of owned namespaces per user namespace
- Simplified rbtree comparison helpers
Cleanups
- Header Reorganization:
- Move namespace types into separate header (ns_common_types.h)
- Decouple nstree from ns_common header
- Move nstree types into separate header
- Switch to new ns_tree_{node,root} structures with helper functions
- Use guards for ns_tree_lock
- Initial Namespace Reference Count Optimization
- Make all reference counts on initial namespaces a nop to avoid
pointless cacheline ping-pong for namespaces that can never go
away
- Drop custom reference count initialization for initial namespaces
- Add NS_COMMON_INIT() macro and use it for all namespaces
- pid: rely on common reference count behavior
- Miscellaneous Cleanups
- Rename exit_task_namespaces() to exit_nsproxy_namespaces()
- Rename is_initial_namespace() and make argument const
- Use boolean to indicate anonymous mount namespace
- Simplify owner list iteration in nstree
- nsfs: raise SB_I_NODEV, SB_I_NOEXEC, and DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
- nsfs: use inode_just_drop()
- pidfs: raise DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
- pidfs: simplify PIDFD_GET__NAMESPACE ioctls
- libfs: allow to specify s_d_flags
- cgroup: add cgroup namespace to tree after owner is set
- nsproxy: fix free_nsproxy() and simplify create_new_namespaces()
Fixes:
- setns(pidfd, ...) race condition
Fix a subtle race when using pidfds with setns(). When the target
task exits after prepare_nsset() but before commit_nsset(), the
namespace's active reference count might have been dropped. If
setns() then installs the namespaces, it would bump the active
reference count from zero without taking the required reference on
the owner namespace, leading to underflow when later decremented.
The fix resurrects the ownership chain if necessary - if the caller
succeeded in grabbing passive references, the setns() should
succeed even if the target task exits or gets reaped.
- Return EFAULT on put_user() error instead of success
- Make sure references are dropped outside of RCU lock (some
namespaces like mount namespace sleep when putting the last
reference)
- Don't skip active reference count initialization for network
namespace
- Add asserts for active refcount underflow
- Add asserts for initial namespace reference counts (both passive
and active)
- ipc: enable is_ns_init_id() assertions
- Fix kernel-doc comments for internal nstree functions
- Selftests
- 15 active reference count tests
- 9 listns() functionality tests
- 7 listns() permission tests
- 12 inactive namespace resurrection tests
- 3 threaded active reference count tests
- commit_creds() active reference tests
- Pagination and stress tests

Check the return value of kstrtoul() and reject invalid values. This adds
error handling while preserving existing behavior for valid values, and
removes use of the deprecated simple_strtoul() helper.

Quite a bit is already done by infrastructure changes (simple_link(),
simple_unlink()) - all that is left is replacing d_instantiate() +
pinning dget() (in ->symlink() and ->mknod()) with d_make_persistent(),
and, in case of shmem, using simple_unlink() and simple_link() in
->unlink() and ->link() resp., instead of open-coding those there.
Since d_make_persistent() accepts (and hashes) unhashed ones, shmem
situation gets simpler - we no longer care whether ->lookup() has hashed
the sucker.
With that done, we don't need kill_litter_super() for these filesystems
anymore - by the umount time all remaining dentries will be marked
persistent and kill_litter_super() will boil down to call of
kill_anon_super().
The same goes for devtmpfs and rootfs - they are handled by
ramfs or by shmem, depending upon config.
NB: strictly speaking, both devtmpfs and rootfs ought to use
ramfs_kill_sb() if they end up using ramfs; that's a separate
story and the only impact of "just use kill_{litter,anon}_super()"
is that we fail to free their sb->s_fs_info... on reboot.
That's orthogonal to the changes in this series - kill_litter_super()
is identical to kill_anon_super() for those at this point.

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%

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.

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();

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!

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.

to cgroup.procs
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%.

After an innocuous change in -next that modified a structure that
contains __counted_by, clang-19 start crashing when building certain

descriptive failure is:
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
generation phase of clang during the LLVM 20 development cycle [1]
resolves this problem. Bump the version of clang that enables
CONFIG_CC_HAS_COUNTED_BY to 20.1.0 to ensure that this issue cannot be

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.
"selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" (SeongJae Park)
extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all
possible user-requested parameters. Rather than the present minimal
subset"

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.

Without this patch the EXPERT config menu ends with

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.

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.

The EFI call in start_kernel() is guarded by #ifdef CONFIG_X86. Move
the thing to the arch_cpu_finalize_init() path on x86 and get rid of
the #ifdef in start_kernel().

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ojeda/linux
Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"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".

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.

the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide
this.
- "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.
- "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.
- "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.
- "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

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.

- "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.

documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous
DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and

- "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

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
[ 1.924525] 1..2
[ 1.926385] # my_first_test: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:251

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()

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

Simplifies CONFIG_CC_HAS_COUNTED_BY by removing the build test and
relying solely on gcc/clang version numbering (GCC_VERSION >= 150100 and
CLANG_VERSION >= 190103).
The build test was used to allow unreleased gcc 15.0 builds to use the
__counted_by attribute. Now that gcc 15.1.0 has been released, this is
not needed anymore. Note: This will disable __counted_by on unreleased
gcc 15.0 builds.
clang version support for __counted_by remains unchanged.

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.

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
old versions of ld.lld.

GCC has expanded support of the "nonstring" attribute so that it can be
applied to arrays of character arrays[1], which is needed to identify
correct static initialization of those kinds of objects. Since this was
not supported prior to GCC 15, we need to distinguish the usage of Linux's
existing __nonstring macro for the attribute for non-multi-dimensional
char arrays. Until GCC 15 is the minimum version, use __nonstring_array to
mark arrays of non-string character arrays. (Regular non-string character
arrays can continue to use __nonstring.) Once GCC 15 is the minimum
compiler version we can replace all uses of __nonstring_array with just
__nonstring and remove this macro.
This allows for changes like this:
-static const char table_sigs[][ACPI_NAMESEG_SIZE] __initconst = {
+static const char table_sigs[][ACPI_NAMESEG_SIZE] __nonstring_array __initconst = {
ACPI_SIG_BERT, ACPI_SIG_BGRT, ACPI_SIG_CPEP, ACPI_SIG_ECDT,
Which will silence the coming -Wunterminated-string-initialization
warnings in GCC 15:
