KCSAN reports a data race between page_to_nid()/folio_pgdat() reading
page->flags and folio_trylock()/folio_lock() concurrently doing
test_and_set_bit_lock(PG_locked, ...) on the same word, e.g.:
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __lruvec_stat_mod_folio / shmem_get_folio_gfp
The race is benign: nid/zone bits are set once at page init and never
overlap with PG_locked. However, ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS() inside
memdesc_nid/zonenum() was checking a by-value copy of the flags word, not
the live page->flags, so it failed to annotate the real access.
Change memdesc_nid(), memdesc_zonenum(), memdesc_section(), and
memdesc_is_zone_device() to take a const memdesc_flags_t * and update all
callers to pass &page->flags / &folio->flags, so ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS()
operates on the actual shared word.
Guard the ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS() calls in memdesc_zonenum() and
memdesc_section() under ZONES_WIDTH != 0 / SECTIONS_WIDTH != 0 to avoid a
zero-mask check on configs where the corresponding field is absent. Under
CONFIG_NUMA=n, stub out page_to_nid() and folio_nid() as plain "return 0"
instead of reading page->flags when NODES_MASK is 0 and the check can
never fire.

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that
only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This can be very
confusing when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when
dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead.
So let's standardize now on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by
the compilers.
This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement).

The *_bit_le functions use a signed integer for the bit number.
However, the *_bit functions can use an unsigned long. This causes
problems if there is a large bitmap and a bit number > 0x80000000 is
passed in. Since that is a negative int, it will get sign extended to a
long when getting passed to the *_bit function, turning it into a huge
bit number. This usually ends up with the memory address wrapping around
and the function accessing memory before the start of the bitmap.
Avoid this by making the *_bit_le functions take an unsigned int.
This can be triggered by faking a huge dm-mirror device, which uses
bitmaps to track the mirror regions:
This will access memory before the start of the sync_bits bitmap, and
likely hit the guard page of the previously allocated clean_bits bitmap.
I looked and didn't see any crazy code using the signed int to
intentionally try and access bits before some address within the bitmap.

Add missing file metadata syscalls to the audit PERM class tables,
addressing gaps where certain file operations were not properly
classified for audit rule matching.
Changes:
- audit_change_attr.h: Add file_setattr
- audit_read.h: Add quotactl_fd, file_getattr, stat, stat64, lstat,
lstat64, fstat, fstat64, newfstatat, fstatat64, and statx
- audit_write.h: Add quotactl_fd
Architecture-specific and conditionally-compiled syscalls are guarded
with #ifdef.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- "selftests/mm: clean up build output and verbosity" (Li Wang)
Remove some noise from the MM selftests build
- "mm: Free contiguous order-0 pages efficiently" (Ryan Roberts)
Speed up the freeing of a batch of 0-order pages by first scanning
them for coalescing opportunities. This is applicable to vfree() and
to the releasing of frozen pages
- "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS failed region quota charge ratio"
(SeongJae Park)
Address a DAMOS usability issue: The DAMOS quota often exhausts
prematurely because it charges for all memory attempted, causing slow
and inconsistent performance when actions fail on unreclaimable
memory.
To fix this, a new feature lets users set a smaller, flexible quota
charge ratio (via a numerator and denominator) for failed regions.
Since failed actions cause less overhead, reducing their quota cost
ensures more predictable and efficient DAMOS processing

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Futex updates:
- Optimize futex hash bucket access patterns (Peter Zijlstra)
- Large series to address the robust futex unlock race for real, by
Thomas Gleixner:
"The robust futex unlock mechanism is racy in respect to the
clearing of the robust_list_head::list_op_pending pointer because
unlock and clearing the pointer are not atomic.
The race window is between the unlock and clearing the pending op
pointer. If the task is forced to exit in this window, exit will
access a potentially invalid pending op pointer when cleaning up
the robust list.
That happens if another task manages to unmap the object
containing the lock before the cleanup, which results in an UAF.
In the worst case this UAF can lead to memory corruption when
unrelated content has been mapped to the same address by the time
the access happens.
User space can't solve this problem without help from the kernel.
This series provides the kernel side infrastructure to help it
along:
1) Combined unlock, pointer clearing, wake-up for the
contended case
2) VDSO based unlock and pointer clearing helpers with a
fix-up function in the kernel when user space was interrupted
within the critical section.

raw_res_spin_unlock_irqrestore() calls raw_res_spin_unlock() and then
restores interrupts, this means preemption is enabled when interrupts
are still disabled (as part of raw_res_spin_unlock()) so this cannot
trigger an actual preemption.
This is inconsistent with other spinlock implementations
(raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore() and bpf_res_spin_unlock_irqrestore()
itself).
Adjust the macro to ensure interrupts are enabled before enabling
preemption, allowing to schedule at that point. Make the same
modification in the error path of raw_res_spin_lock_irqsave().

The CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG option currently depends on
ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG, but this dependency seems unnecessary.
Remove ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG and allow users to control
Propeller builds solely through CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG. This simplifies
the kconfig and avoids potential confusion.
Move the .llvm_bb_addr_map sections grouping to
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h.
The Propeller documentation has been updated to reflect the most
recent tool location and now includes instructions for arm64.

Slapping __percpu_qual into the next available header is sloppy at best.
It's required by __percpu which is defined in compiler_types.h and that is
meant to be included without requiring a boatload of other headers so that
a struct or function declaration can contain a __percpu qualifier w/o
further prerequisites.
This implicit dependency on linux/percpu.h makes that impossible and causes
a major problem when trying to separate headers.
Create asm/percpu_types.h and move it there. Include that from
compiler_types.h and the whole recursion problem goes away.
Fix up UM so it uses the generic header and includes it in the UM_HOST
build, which pulls in compiler_types.h. The USER_CFLAGS fix was suggested
by Richard.

For CONFIG_NR_CPUS < 16K, _Q_PENDING_BITS is 8 and the pending
field occupies bits 8-15 of the lock word. The current comment
documents bit 8 as pending and bits 9-15 as unused, which describes
the pending flag value rather than the field layout.
Describe bits 8-15 as the pending byte so the layout description
is consistent with the lock byte.

The kernel allows arches to select between inline and outline
implementations of the copy_{from,to}_user() by defining individual
INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER and INLINE_COPY_TO_USER, correspondingly. However,
all arches enable or disable them always together.
Without the real use-case for one helper being inlined while the other
outlined, having independent controls is excessive and error prone.
Switch the codebase to the single unified INLINE_COPY_USER control.

Page tables are always accessed via the linear mapping with a match-all
tag, so HW-tag KASAN never checks them. For page-allocated tables (PTEs
and PGDs etc), avoid the tag setup and poisoning overhead by using
__GFP_SKIP_KASAN. SLUB-backed page tables are unchanged for now. (They
aren't widely used and require more SLUB related skip logic. Leave it
later.)

On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache
to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a
coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer
and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the
counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the
persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded.
To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and
flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

When kprobe_add_area_blacklist() iterates through a section like
.kprobes.text, the start address may not correspond to a named symbol.
On ARM64 with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS=y (introduced by
commit baaf553d3bc3 ("arm64: Implement
HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS")), the compiler flag
-fpatchable-function-entry=4,2 inserts 2 NOPs before each function entry
point for ftrace call_ops. These pre-function NOPs sit at the section base
address, before the first named function symbol. The compiler emits a $x
mapping symbol at offset 0x00 to mark the start of code, but
find_kallsyms_symbol() ignores mapping symbols.
Without CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS (e.g. defconfig), no
pre-function NOPs are inserted, the first function starts at offset
0x00, and the bug does not trigger.
This only affects modules that have a .kprobes.text section (i.e. those
using the __kprobes annotation). Modules using NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() instead
(like kretprobe_example.ko) blacklist exact function addresses via the
_kprobe_blacklist section and are not affected.
For kprobe_example.ko on ARM64 with -fpatchable-function-entry=4,2,
the .kprobes.text section layout is:
offset 0x00: $x + 2 NOPs (mapping symbol + ftrace preamble)
offset 0x08: handler_post (64 bytes)
offset 0x50: handler_pre (68 bytes)
kprobe_add_area_blacklist() starts iterating from the section base
address (offset 0x00), which only has the $x mapping symbol.
kprobe_add_ksym_blacklist() then calls kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()
for this address, which goes through:
kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()
-> module_address_lookup()
-> find_kallsyms_symbol()
find_kallsyms_symbol() scans all module symbols to find the closest
preceding symbol.
Since no named text symbol exists at offset 0x00,
find_kallsyms_symbol() picks __UNIQUE_ID_vermagic (a .modinfo symbol
whose address is in the temporary image) as the "best" match. The
computed "size" = next_text_symbol - modinfo_symbol spans across
these two unrelated memory regions, creating a blacklist entry with
a bogus range of tens of terabytes.
Whether this causes a visible failure depends on address randomization,
here is what happens on Raspberry Pi 4/5:
- On RPi5, the bogus size was ~35 TB. start + size stayed within
64-bit range, so the blacklist entry covered the entire kernel
text. register_kprobe() in the module's own init function failed
with -EINVAL.
- On RPi4, the bogus size was ~75 TB. start + size overflowed
64 bits and wrapped to a small address near zero. The range
check (addr >= start && addr < end) then failed because end
wrapped around, so the bogus entry was accidentally harmless
and kprobes worked by luck.
The same bug exists on both machines, but randomization determines whether
the integer overflow masks it or not.
Fix this by adding notrace to the __kprobes macro. Functions in
.kprobes.text are kprobe infrastructure handlers that should never be
traced by ftrace. With notrace, the compiler stops inserting them and the
non-symbol gap at the section start disappears entirely.

After a kexec the logical processors and virtual processors already
exist in the hypervisor because they were created by the previous
kernel. Attempting to add them again causes either a BUG_ON or
corrupted VP state leading to MCEs in the new kernel.
Add hv_lp_exists() to probe whether an LP is already present by
calling HVCALL_GET_LOGICAL_PROCESSOR_RUN_TIME. When it succeeds the
LP exists and we skip the add-LP and create-VP loops entirely.
Also add hv_call_notify_all_processors_started() which informs the
hypervisor that all processors are online. This is required after
adding LPs (fresh boot) and is a no-op on kexec since we skip that
path.

A quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better than to

"The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right
now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography
and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations
sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations
sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for
many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into
the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture
code.
Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the
architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric
Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After
that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for
smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained
here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call

Pull module updates from Sami Tolvanen:
"Kernel symbol flags:
- Replace the separate *_gpl symbol sections (__ksymtab_gpl and
__kcrctab_gpl) with a unified symbol table and a new __kflagstab
section.
This section stores symbol flags, such as the GPL-only flag, as an
8-bit bitset for each exported symbol. This is a cleanup that
simplifies symbol lookup in the module loader by avoiding table
fragmentation and will allow a cleaner way to add more flags later
if needed.
Module signature UAPI:
- Move struct module_signature to the UAPI headers to allow reuse by
tools outside the kernel proper, such as kmod and
scripts/sign-file.
This also renames a few constants for clarity and drops unused
signature types as preparation for hash-based module integrity
checking work that's in progress.
Sysfs:
- Add a /sys/module/<module>/import_ns sysfs attribute to show the
symbol namespaces imported by loaded modules.
This makes it easier to verify driver API access at runtime on
systems that care about such things (e.g. Android).
Cleanups and fixes:
- Force sh_addr to 0 for all sections in module.lds. This prevents
non-zero section addresses when linking modules with 'ld.bfd -r',
which confused elfutils.
- Fix a memory leak of charp module parameters on module unload when
the kernel is configured with CONFIG_SYSFS=n.
- Override the -EEXIST error code returned by module_init() to
userspace. This prevents confusion with the errno reserved by the
module loader to indicate that a module is already loaded.
- Simplify the warning message and drop the stack dump on positive
returns from module_init().
- Drop unnecessary extern keywords from function declarations and
synchronize parse_args() arguments with their implementation"

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- A rework of the hrtimer subsystem to reduce the overhead for
frequently armed timers, especially the hrtick scheduler timer:
- Better timer locality decision
- Simplification of the evaluation of the first expiry time by
keeping track of the neighbor timers in the RB-tree by providing
a RB-tree variant with neighbor links. That avoids walking the
RB-tree on removal to find the next expiry time, but even more
important allows to quickly evaluate whether a timer which is
rearmed changes the position in the RB-tree with the modified
expiry time or not. If not, the dequeue/enqueue sequence which
both can end up in rebalancing can be completely avoided.
- Deferred reprogramming of the underlying clock event device. This
optimizes for the situation where a hrtimer callback sets the
need resched bit. In that case the code attempts to defer the
re-programming of the clock event device up to the point where
the scheduler has picked the next task and has the next hrtick
timer armed. In case that there is no immediate reschedule or
soft interrupts have to be handled before reaching the reschedule
point in the interrupt entry code the clock event is reprogrammed
in one of those code paths to prevent that the timer becomes
stale.
- Support for clocksource coupled clockevents
The TSC deadline timer is coupled to the TSC. The next event is
programmed in TSC time. Currently this is done by converting the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC based expiry value into a relative timeout,
converting it into TSC ticks, reading the TSC adding the delta
ticks and writing the deadline MSR.
As the timekeeping core has the conversion factors for the TSC
already, the whole back and forth conversion can be completely
avoided. The timekeeping core calculates the reverse conversion
factors from nanoseconds to TSC ticks and utilizes the base
timestamps of TSC and CLOCK_MONOTONIC which are updated once per
tick. This allows a direct conversion into the TSC deadline value
without reading the time and as a bonus keeps the deadline
conversion in sync with the TSC conversion factors, which are
updated by adjtimex() on systems with NTP/PTP enabled.
- Allow inlining of the clocksource read and clockevent write
functions when they are tiny enough, e.g. on x86 RDTSC and WRMSR.
With all those enhancements in place a hrtick enabled scheduler
provides the same performance as without hrtick. But also other
hrtimer users obviously benefit from these optimizations.
- Robustness improvements and cleanups of historical sins in the
hrtimer and timekeeping code.
- Rewrite of the clocksource watchdog.
The clocksource watchdog code has over time reached the state of an
impenetrable maze of duct tape and staples. The original design,
which was made in the context of systems far smaller than today, is
based on the assumption that the to be monitored clocksource (TSC)
can be trivially compared against a known to be stable clocksource
(HPET/ACPI-PM timer).
Over the years this rather naive approach turned out to have major
flaws. Long delays between the watchdog invocations can cause wrap
arounds of the reference clocksource. The access to the reference
clocksource degrades on large multi-sockets systems dure to
interconnect congestion. This has been addressed with various
heuristics which degraded the accuracy of the watchdog to the point
that it fails to detect actual TSC problems on older hardware which
exposes slow inter CPU drifts due to firmware manipulating the TSC to
hide SMI time.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Restricting the validation against the reference clocksource to
the boot CPU which is usually closest to the legacy block which
contains the reference clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM).
- Do a round robin validation betwen the boot CPU and the other
CPUs based only on the TSC with an algorithm similar to the TSC
synchronization code during CPU hotplug.
- Being more leniant versus remote timeouts
- The usual tiny fixes, cleanups and enhancements all over the place

When freeing page tables, we try to batch them. If batch allocation fails
(GFP_NOWAIT), __tlb_remove_table_one() immediately frees the one without
batching.
On !CONFIG_PT_RECLAIM, the fallback sends an IPI to all CPUs via
tlb_remove_table_sync_one(). It disrupts all CPUs even when only a single
process is unmapping memory. IPI broadcast was reported to hurt RT
workloads[1].
tlb_remove_table_sync_one() synchronizes with lockless page-table walkers
(e.g. GUP-fast) that rely on IRQ disabling. These walkers use
local_irq_disable(), which is also an RCU read-side critical section.
This patch introduces tlb_remove_table_sync_rcu() which uses RCU grace
period (synchronize_rcu()) instead of IPI broadcast. This provides the
same guarantee as IPI but without disrupting all CPUs. Since batch
allocation already failed, we are in a slow path where sleeping is
acceptable - we are in process context (unmap_region, exit_mmap) with only
mmap_lock held.
tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is retained for other callers (e.g.,
khugepaged after pmdp_collapse_flush(), tlb_finish_mmu() when
tlb->fully_unshared_tables) that are not slow paths. Converting those may
require different approaches such as targeted IPIs.

Move the generic implementations from asm-generic/xor.h to
per-implementaion .c files in lib/raid. This will build them
unconditionally even when an architecture forces a specific
implementation, but as we'll need at least one generic version for the
static_call optimization later on we'll pay that price.
Note that this would cause the second xor_block_8regs instance created by

Drop the pretty confusing historic XOR_TRY_TEMPLATES and
XOR_SELECT_TEMPLATE, and instead let the architectures provide a
arch_xor_init that calls either xor_register to register candidates or
xor_force to force a specific implementation.

This patch introduces a __kflagstab section to store symbol flags in a
dedicated data structure, similar to how CRCs are handled in the
__kcrctab.
The flags for a given symbol in __kflagstab will be located at the same
index as the symbol's entry in __ksymtab and its CRC in __kcrctab. This
design decouples the flags from the symbol table itself, allowing us to
maintain a single, sorted __ksymtab. As a result, the symbol search
remains an efficient, single lookup, regardless of the number of flags
we add in the future.
The motivation for this change comes from the Android kernel, which uses
an additional symbol flag to restrict the use of certain exported
symbols by unsigned modules, thereby enhancing kernel security. This
__kflagstab can be implemented as a bitmap to efficiently manage which
symbols are available for general use versus those restricted to signed
modules only.
This section will contain read-only data for values of kernel symbol
flags in the form of an 8-bit bitsets for each kernel symbol. Each bit
in the bitset represents a flag value defined by ksym_flags enumeration.
Petr Pavlu ran a small test to get a better understanding of the
different section sizes resulting from this patch series. He used
v6.17-rc6 together with the openSUSE x86_64 config [1], which is fairly
large. The resulting vmlinux.bin (no debuginfo) had an on-disk size of
58 MiB, and included 5937 + 6589 (GPL-only) exported symbols.
The following table summarizes his measurements and calculations
regarding the sizes of all sections related to exported symbols:
| HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS | !HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS
Section | Base [B] | Ext. [B] | Sep. [B] | Base [B] | Ext. [B] | Sep. [B]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
__ksymtab | 71244 | 200416 | 150312 | 142488 | 400832 | 300624
__ksymtab_gpl | 79068 | NA | NA | 158136 | NA | NA
__kcrctab | 23748 | 50104 | 50104 | 23748 | 50104 | 50104
__kcrctab_gpl | 26356 | NA | NA | 26356 | NA | NA
__ksymtab_strings | 253628 | 253628 | 253628 | 253628 | 253628 | 253628
__kflagstab | NA | NA | 12526 | NA | NA | 12526
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total | 454044 | 504148 | 466570 | 604356 | 704564 | 616882
Increase to base [%] | NA | 11.0 | 2.8 | NA | 16.6 | 2.1
The column "HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS -> Base" contains the measured
numbers. The rest of the values are calculated. The "Ext." column
represents an alternative approach of extending __ksymtab to include a
bitset of symbol flags, and the "Sep." column represents the approach of
having a separate __kflagstab. With HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS, each
kernel_symbol is 12 B in size and is extended to 16 B. With
!HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS, it is 24 B, extended to 32 B. Note that
this does not include the metadata needed to relocate __ksymtab*, which
is freed after the initial processing.
Adding __kflagstab as a separate section has a negligible impact, as
expected. When extending __ksymtab (kernel_symbol) instead, the worst
case with !HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS increases the export data size
by 16.6%. Note that the larger increase in size for the latter approach
is due to 4-byte alignment of kernel_symbol data structure, instead of
1-byte alignment for the flags bitset in __kflagstab in the former
approach.
Based on the above, it was concluded that introducing __kflagstab makes
sense, as the added complexity is minimal over extending kernel_symbol,
and there is overall simplification of symbol finding logic in the
module loader.

Commit 1ba9f8979426 ("vmlinux.lds: Unify TEXT_MAIN, DATA_MAIN, and
related macros") added .text and made .data, .bss, and .rodata sections
unconditional in the module linker script, but without an explicit
address like the other sections in the same file.
When linking modules with ld.bfd -r, sections defined without an address
inherit the location counter, resulting in non-zero sh_addr values in
the .ko. Relocatable objects are expected to have sh_addr=0 for these
sections and these non-zero addresses confuse elfutils and have been
reported to cause segmentation faults in SystemTap [1].
Add the 0 address specifier to all sections in module.lds, including the
.codetag.* sections via MOD_SEPARATE_CODETAG_SECTIONS macro.

The value of __BITS_PER_LONG from architecture-specific logic should
always match the generic one if that is available. It should also match
the actual C type 'long'.
Mismatches can happen for example when building the compat vDSO. Either
during the compilation, see commit 9a6d3ff10f7f ("arm64: uapi: Provide
correct __BITS_PER_LONG for the compat vDSO"), or when running sparse
when mismatched CHECKFLAGS are inherited from the kernel build.
Add some consistency checks which detect such issues early and clearly.
The kernel-internal BITS_PER_LONG is not checked as it is derived from
CONFIG_64BIT and therefore breaks for the compat vDSO. See the similar,
deactivated check above.

Currently hrtimer_interrupt() runs expired timers, which can re-arm
themselves, after which it computes the next expiration time and
re-programs the hardware.
However, things like HRTICK, a highres timer driving preemption, cannot
re-arm itself at the point of running, since the next task has not been
determined yet. The schedule() in the interrupt return path will switch to
the next task, which then causes a new hrtimer to be programmed.
This then results in reprogramming the hardware at least twice, once after
running the timers, and once upon selecting the new task.
Notably, *both* events happen in the interrupt.
By pushing the hrtimer reprogram all the way into the interrupt return
path, it runs after schedule() picks the new task and the double reprogram
can be avoided.
