setup_boot_config() open-coded the same "is bootconfig requested on the
kernel command line?" check that setup_arch() performs via the shared
bootconfig_cmdline_requested() helper. Switch it to the helper so the
early (setup_arch) and late (setup_boot_config) paths use one parser and
cannot disagree on what counts as opt-in.
The helper also reports the offset of the init arguments following a "--"
separator, which is exactly what initargs_offs needs, so the local
parse_args() call, its bootconfig_params() callback and the tmp_cmdline
copy are removed.
No functional change intended.

setup_boot_config() folds the embedded bootconfig "kernel" subtree into
the command line via xbc_make_cmdline("kernel"). A subsequent patch lets
an architecture prepend the build-time-rendered embedded "kernel" keys
to boot_command_line early in setup_arch(); rendering them again here
would then duplicate every key in saved_command_line and make
accumulating handlers (console=, earlycon=, ...) re-register the same
value.
Track whether the bootconfig data came from the embedded source
(from_embedded) and skip the runtime render only when the early prepend
actually happened, as reported by xbc_embedded_cmdline_applied(). On
architectures that do not select ARCH_SUPPORTS_CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTCONFIG
that helper is a stub returning false, so this path is unchanged and the
embedded "kernel" keys still reach the cmdline via the runtime parser
exactly as before.

Add the build-time pipeline that renders the "kernel" subtree of
CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED_FILE into a flat cmdline string and stashes
it in .init.rodata as embedded_kernel_cmdline[]. A follow-up patch
adds the runtime helper that prepends this string to boot_command_line
during early architecture setup so parse_early_param() sees the values.
The build wires up:
tools/bootconfig -C kernel - userspace tool already shared with
lib/bootconfig.c, used here in -C mode
to render a bootconfig file to a cmdline
lib/embedded-cmdline.S - .incbin's the rendered text plus a NUL
(listed under the EXTRA BOOT CONFIG
MAINTAINERS entry)
lib/Makefile rule - runs tools/bootconfig at build time
Makefile prepare dep - ensures tools/bootconfig is built first,
same pattern as tools/objtool and
tools/bpf/resolve_btfids
Drop the test target from tools/bootconfig/Makefile's default 'all'
recipe so that hooking the binary into the kernel build does not run
test-bootconfig.sh on every prepare. The tests stay available as
'make -C tools/bootconfig test', matching the convention of
tools/objtool and tools/bpf/resolve_btfids whose 'all' targets only
build the binary.
Require BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED_FILE to be non-empty before the new option
can be enabled, otherwise tools/bootconfig -C runs against an empty
file and prints a parse error on every kernel build.
The feature gates on CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTCONFIG, a
silent symbol arches select once they've wired the prepend call into
setup_arch(). No arch selects it in this patch, so the user-visible
CONFIG_CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTCONFIG is not yet enableable; when an arch
later opts in, the runtime behavior is added by the follow-up patches.
tools/bootconfig also installs on target systems, so its own Makefile
keeps $(CC) and stays cross-buildable as a standalone tool. The kernel
build, which runs the tool on the build host during prepare, instead
forces CC=$(HOSTCC) from a dedicated tools/bootconfig rule and clears
CROSS_COMPILE= in the sub-make. Without that clear, an LLVM=1 cross
build would inherit CROSS_COMPILE and tools/scripts/Makefile.include
would inject --target=/--sysroot= flags into the host clang invocation,
producing a target binary that fails to exec ("Exec format error").
embedded-cmdline.S places the rendered string in its own .init.rodata
subsection (.init.rodata.embed_cmdline) with the "a" (allocatable,
read-only) flag and %progbits. lib/bootconfig-data.S already places
the embedded bootconfig blob in .init.rodata with the "aw" flag
(xbc_init() rewrites separators in place, so that data must be
writable). Using a distinct subsection name avoids the ld.lld section-
type mismatch that would otherwise arise from mixing "a" and "aw"
under the same name; the linker's "*(.init.rodata .init.rodata.*)"
glob still folds both into the init image and frees them after boot.
A follow-up patch wires the build-time tools/bootconfig into the
top-level clean target.

KUnit runs each test in a kthread (kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter()).
Since commit 32750c77e811 ("fs: start all kthreads in nullfs") every
kthread starts out with its fs_struct root and pwd pointing at an empty,
immutable nullfs and can no longer resolve paths.
Two test suites resolve paths from test context and now fail. The misc
minor tests create a device node and open it:
# miscdev_test_static_basic: EXPECTATION FAILED at drivers/char/misc_minor_kunit.c:166
failed to create node
# miscdev_test_static_basic: EXPECTATION FAILED at drivers/char/misc_minor_kunit.c:170
failed to open misc device: -2
init_mknod("/dev/...") resolves relative to current->fs, which is now
nullfs with no /dev, so node creation returns -ENOENT and the following
filp_open() fails with -ENOENT (-2). The initramfs tests hit the same
wall: they call unpack_to_rootfs() (init_mkdir()/init_mknod() under the
hood) and then verify with relative-name init_stat()/init_unlink()/
filp_open(), all of which resolve against the nullfs root and pwd.
Wrap the path-resolving regions of both suites in scoped_with_init_fs(),
which borrows the userspace init fs_struct (set up by init_userspace_fs()
before kunit_run_all_tests()) for the duration. This is the same opt-in
the rest of the tree uses for kthread path resolution. Doing it per test
rather than blanket-wrapping the KUnit runner keeps the nullfs isolation
in place for the many tests that should never touch the filesystem.

Starting with Rust 1.98.0 (expected 2026-08-20), Rust is introducing a
couple new lints, `invalid_runtime_symbol_definitions` (deny-by-default)
and `suspicious_runtime_symbol_definitions` (warn-by-default), which check
the signature of items whose symbol name is a runtime symbol expected by
`core`.
Our build hits the second one, i.e. the warning:
error: suspicious definition of the runtime `strlen` symbol used by the standard library
--> rust/bindings/bindings_generated.rs:20018:5
|
20018 | pub fn strlen(s: *const ffi::c_char) -> usize;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

= note: expected `unsafe extern "C" fn(*const i8) -> usize`
found `unsafe extern "C" fn(*const u8) -> usize`
= help: either fix the signature or remove any attributes like `#[unsafe(no_mangle)]`, `#[unsafe(export_name = "strlen")]`, or `#[link_name = "strlen"]`
= help: allow this lint if the signature is compatible
= note: `-D suspicious-runtime-symbol-definitions` implied by `-D warnings`
= help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(suspicious_runtime_symbol_definitions)]`
error: suspicious definition of the runtime `strlen` symbol used by the standard library

= note: `-D suspicious-runtime-symbol-definitions` implied by `-D warnings`
= help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(suspicious_runtime_symbol_definitions)]`
Thus `allow` the lint in `bindings` and `uapi`.
A more targeted alternative to avoid `allow`ing it would be to pass
`--blocklist-function strlen` to `bindgen`, but we would perhaps need
to adjust if other C headers end up adding more (or Rust checking more).
Since it is just the less critical one that we hit, and since eventually
this should be properly fixed by getting upstream Rust to provide a flag
like GCC/Clang's `-funsigned-char` [2][3], just `allow` it for now.

Spawn kernel_init (PID 1) via kernel_clone() directly instead of
user_mode_thread(), without CLONE_FS. This gives PID 1 its own private
copy of init_task's fs_struct rather than sharing it.
This is a prerequisite for isolating kthreads in nullfs: when
init_task's fs is later pointed at nullfs, PID 1 must not share it
or init_userspace_fs() would modify init_task's fs as well, defeating
the isolation.
At this stage PID 1 still gets rootfs (a private copy rather than a
shared reference), so there is no functional change.

Extract the initramfs unpacking code into a separate
unpack_initramfs() function and wrap its invocation from
do_populate_rootfs() with scoped_with_init_fs(). This ensures all
file operations during initramfs unpacking (including filp_open()
calls in do_name() and populate_initrd_image()) happen in init's
filesystem context.
Note that security_initramfs_populated() needs the scope as well since
it does use current->fs to derive the initramfs superblock.
do_populate_rootfs() ← async_schedule_domain() ← kworker (async
workqueue)
May also run synchronously from PID 1 in case async workqueue is
considered full. Overriding in that case is fine as well.

Change userspace_init_fs from a declared-but-unused extern struct to
a dynamically initialized pointer. Add init_userspace_fs() which is
called early in kernel_init() (PID 1) to record PID 1's fs_struct
as the canonical userspace filesystem state.
Wire up __override_init_fs() and __revert_init_fs() to actually swap
current->fs to/from userspace_init_fs. Previously these were no-ops
that stored current->fs back to itself.
Fix nullfs_userspace_init() to compare against userspace_init_fs
instead of &init_fs. When PID 1 unshares its filesystem state, revert
userspace_init_fs to init_fs's root (nullfs) so that stale filesystem
state is not silently inherited by kworkers and usermodehelpers.
At this stage PID 1's fs still points to rootfs (set by
init_mount_tree), so userspace_init_fs points to rootfs and
scoped_with_init_fs() is functionally equivalent to its previous no-op
behavior.

Add a real_fs field to task_struct that always mirrors the fs field.
This lays the groundwork for distinguishing between a task's permanent
fs_struct and one that is temporarily overridden via scoped_with_init_fs().
When a kthread temporarily overrides current->fs for path lookup, we
need to know the original fs_struct for operations like exit_fs() and
unshare_fs_struct() that must operate on the real, permanent fs.
For now real_fs is always equal to fs. It is maintained alongside fs in
all the relevant paths: exit_fs(), unshare_fs_struct(),
switch_fs_struct(), and copy_fs().

"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.

`unsafe` so you don't have to.
It essentially provides derivable traits (e.g. 'FromBytes') and
macros (e.g. 'transmute!') for safely converting between byte
sequences and other types. Having such support allows us to remove
some 'unsafe' code.
It is among the most downloaded Rust crates and it is also used by
the Rust compiler itself.
It is licensed under "BSD-2-Clause OR Apache-2.0 OR MIT".
The crates are imported essentially as-is (only +2/-3 lines needed
to be adapted), plus SPDX identifiers. Upstream has since added the
SPDX identifiers as well as one of the tweaks at my request, thus
reducing our future diffs on updates -- I keep the details in one
of our usual live lists [3].
In total, it is about ~39k lines added, ~32k without counting
'benches/' which are just for documentation purposes.
The series includes a few Kbuild and rust-analyzer improvements and
an example patch using it in Nova, removing one 'unsafe impl'.
I checked that the codegen of an isolated example function (similar
to the Nova patch on top) is essentially identical. It also turns
out that (for that particular case) the 'zerocopy' version, even
with 'debug-assertions' enabled, has no remaining panics, unlike a
few in the current code (since the compiler can prove the remaining
'ub_checks' statically).
So their "fast, safe" does indeed check out -- at least in that
case.
- Support AutoFDO. This allows Rust code to be profiled and optimized
based on the profile. Tested with Rust Binder: ~13% slower without
AutoFDO in the binderAddInts benchmark (using an app-launch
benchmark for the profile).
- Support Software Tag-Based KASAN.
In addition, fix KASAN Kconfig by requiring Clang.
- Add Kconfig options for each existing Rust KUnit test suite, such
as 'CONFIG_RUST_BITMAP_KUNIT_TEST'.
They are placed within a new menu, 'CONFIG_RUST_KUNIT_TESTS', in
the new 'rust/kernel/Kconfig.test' file.
- Support the upcoming Rust 1.98.0 release (expected 2026-08-20):
lint cleanups and an unstable flag rename.
- Disable 'rustdoc' documentation inlining for all prelude items,
which bloats the generated documentation.
- Ignore (in Git) and clean (in Kbuild) the (rarely) 'rustc'-generated
'*.long-type-*.txt' files.
'kernel' crate:
- Add new 'bitfield' module with the 'bitfield!' macro (extracted
from the existing 'register!' one), which declares integer types
that are split into distinct bit fields of arbitrary length.
Each field is a 'Bounded' of the appropriate bit width (ensuring
values are properly validated and avoiding implicit data loss) and
gets several generated getters and setters (infallible, 'const' and
fallible) as well as associated constants ('_MASK', '_SHIFT' and
'_RANGE'). It also supports fields that can be converted from/to
custom types, either fallibly ('?=>') or infallibly ('=>').
For instance:
bitfield! {
struct Rgb(u16) {
15:11 blue;
10:5 green;
4:0 red;
}
}
// Compile-time checks.
let color = Rgb::zeroed().with_const_green::<0x1f>();
assert_eq!(color.green(), 0x1f);
assert_eq!(color.into_raw(), 0x1f << Rgb::GREEN_SHIFT);
Add as well documentation and a test suite for it, as usual; and
update the 'register!' macro to use it.
It will be maintained by Alexandre Courbot (with Yury Norov as
reviewer) under a new 'MAINTAINERS' entry: 'RUST [BITFIELD]'.
- 'ptr' module: rework index projection syntax into keyworded syntax
and introduce panicking variant.
The keyword syntax ('build:', 'try:', 'panic:') is more explicit
and paves the way of perhaps adding more flavors in the future,
e.g. an 'unsafe' index projection.
For instance, projections now look like this:
fn f(p: *const [u8; 32]) -> Result {
// Ok, within bounds, checked at build time.
project!(p, [build: 1]);
// Build error.
project!(p, [build: 128]);
// `OutOfBound` runtime error (convertible to `ERANGE`).
project!(p, [try: 128]);
// Runtime panic.
project!(p, [panic: 128]);
Ok(())
}
Update as well the users, which now look like e.g.
// Pointer to the first entry of the GSP message queue.
let data = project!(self.0.as_ptr(), .gspq.msgq.data[build: 0]);
- 'build_assert' module: make the module the home of its macros
instead of rendering them twice.
- 'sync' module: add 'UniqueArc::as_ptr()' associated function.
- 'alloc' module:
- Fix the 'Vec::reserve()' doctest to properly account for the
existing vector length in the capacity assertion.
- Fix an incorrect operator in the 'Vec::extend_with()' 'SAFETY'
comment; add a doc test demonstrating basic usage and the
zero-length case.
- Clean imports across several modules to follow the "kernel
vertical" import style in order to minimize conflicts.
'pin-init' crate:
- User visible changes:
- Do not generate 'non_snake_case' warnings for identifiers that
are syntactically just users of a field name. This would allow
all '#[allow(non_snake_case)]' in nova-core to be removed,
which Gary will send to the nova tree next cycle.
- Filter non-cfg attributes out properly in derived structs. This
improves pin-init compatibility with other derive macros.
- Insert projection types' where clause properly.
- Other changes:
- Bump MSRV to 1.82, plus associated cleanups.
- Overhaul how init slots are projected. The new approach is
easier to justify with safety comments.
- Mark more functions as inline, which should help mitigate the
super-long symbol name issue due to lack of inlining.
rust-analyzer:
- Support '--envs' for passing env vars for crates like 'zerocopy'.
'MAINTAINERS':
- Add the following reviewers to the 'RUST' entry:
- Daniel Almeida
- Tamir Duberstein
- Alexandre Courbot
- Onur Özkan
They have been involved in the Rust for Linux project for about 7
collective years and bring expertise across several domains, which
will be very useful to have around in the future.
Thanks everyone for stepping up!

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Reduce pipe->mutex contention by pre-allocating pages outside the
lock in anon_pipe_write().
anon_pipe_write() called alloc_page() once per page while holding
pipe->mutex. The allocation can sleep doing direct reclaim and runs
memcg charging, which extends the critical section and stalls any
concurrent reader on the same mutex. Now up to 8 pages are
pre-allocated before the mutex is taken, leftovers are recycled
into the per-pipe tmp_page[] cache before unlock, and any remainder
is released after unlock, keeping the allocator out of the critical
section on both sides. On a writers x readers sweep with 64KB
writes against a 1 MB pipe throughput improves 6-28% and average
write latency drops 5-22%; under memory pressure - when the cost of
holding the mutex across reclaim is highest - throughput improves
21-48% and latency drops 17-33%. The microbenchmark is added to
selftests.
- uaccess/sockptr: fix the ignored_trailing logic in
copy_struct_to_user() to behave as documented and the usize check
in copy_struct_from_sockptr() for user pointers, and add
copy_struct_{from,to}_bounce_buffer() and copy_struct_to_sockptr()
helpers for upcoming users (IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT, IPPROTO_QUIC).
- bpf: add a sleepable bpf_real_inode() kfunc that resolves the real
inode backing a dentry via d_real_inode(). On overlayfs the inode
attached to the dentry doesn't carry the underlying device
information; this is used by the filesystem restriction BPF program
that was merged into systemd.
- docs: add guidelines for submitting new filesystems, motivated by
the maintenance burden abandoned and untestable filesystems impose
on VFS developers, blocking infrastructure work like folio
conversions and iomap migration.
Fixes:
- libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV by default in init_pseudo()
and drop the now-redundant assignments in callers. This began as a
one-line dma-buf fix for a path_noexec() warning; a pseudo
filesystem has no reason not to set SB_I_NOEXEC. All init_pseudo()
callers were audited: the only visible effect is on dma-buf where
SB_I_NOEXEC silences the warning.
- Handle set_blocksize() failures in legacy filesystems (bfs, hpfs,
qnx4, jfs, befs, affs, isofs, minix, ntfs3, omfs). Mounting a
device with a sector size > PAGE_SIZE crashed roughly half of them;
the rest had the same missing error handling pattern. Plus a
follow-up releasing the superblock buffer_head when setting the
minix v3 block size fails.
- mount: honour SB_NOUSER in the new mount API.
- fs/fcntl: fix a SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling by
switching the process-group paths of send_sigio() and send_sigurg()
from read_lock(&tasklist_lock) to RCU, matching the single-PID
path.
- vfs: add an FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag and set it for NFS, fixing
delegated NFS mounts (fsopen() in a container with the mount
performed by a privileged daemon) that broke when non-init
s_user_ns was tied to FS_USERNS_MOUNT.
- selftests/namespaces: fix a hang in nsid_test where an unreaped
grandchild kept the TAP pipe write-end open, a waitpid(-1) race in
listns_efault_test, and a false FAIL on kernels without listns()
where the tests should SKIP.
- filelock: fix the break_lease() stub signature for
CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=n.
- init/initramfs_test: wait for the async initramfs unpacking before
running; the test and do_populate_rootfs() share the parser state.
- fs/coredump: reduce redundant log noise in
validate_coredump_safety().
- iomap: pass the correct length to fserror_report_io() in
__iomap_write_begin().
- backing-file: fix the backing_file_open() kerneldoc.
Cleanups:
- initramfs: refactor the cpio hex header parsing to use hex2bin()
instead of the hand-rolled simple_strntoul() which is reverted, and
extend the initramfs KUnit tests to cover header fields with 0x
prefixes.
- Replace __get_free_pages() and friends with kmalloc()/kzalloc()
across quota, proc, ocfs2/dlm, nilfs2, nfs, nfsd, libfs, jfs, jbd2,
isofs, fuse, select, namespace, configfs, binfmt_misc, bfs, and the
do_mounts init code - part of the larger work of replacing page
allocator calls with kmalloc().
- Use clear_and_wake_up_bit() in unlock_buffer() and
journal_end_buffer_io_sync() instead of open-coding the sequence.
- Drop unused VFS exports: unexport drop_super_exclusive(), remove
start_removing_user_path_at(), and fold __start_removing_path()
into start_removing_path().
- fs/read_write: narrow the __kernel_write() export with
EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES().
- vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex constants in favor of (1 << n) for
the O_ flags. Finding a free bit for a new flag across the
architectures was needlessly hard with the mixed bases.
- dcache: add extra sanity checks of dead dentries in dentry_free()
via a new DENTRY_WARN_ONCE() that also prints d_flags.
- iov_iter: use kmemdup_array() in dup_iter() to harden the
allocation against multiplication overflow.
- fs/pipe: write to ->poll_usage only once.
- vfs: remove an always-taken if-branch in find_next_fd().
- dcache: use kmalloc_flex() for struct external_name in __d_alloc().
- namei: use QSTR() instead of QSTR_INIT() in path_pts().
- sync_file_range: delete dead S_ISLNK code.

assorted spelling mistakes"

There are 6 individual Rust KUnit test suites (plus the doctests one). All
the tests are compiled unconditionally now, which adds ~200 kB to the
kernel image for me on x86_64. As Rust matures, this bloating will
inevitably grow.
Add Kconfig.test which includes a RUST_KUNIT_TESTS menu, and all
individual tests under it.
As usual, new tests are all enabled if KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=y.

There will be a VDSO function to unlock robust futexes in user space. The
unlock sequence is racy vs. clearing the list_pending_op pointer in the
tasks robust list head. To plug this race the kernel needs to know the
instruction window. As the VDSO is per MM the addresses are stored in
mm_struct::futex.
Architectures which implement support for this have to update these
addresses when the VDSO is (re)mapped and indicate the pending op pointer
size which is matching the IP.
Arguably this could be resolved by chasing mm->context->vdso->image, but
that's architecture specific and requires to touch quite some cache
lines. Having it in mm::futex reduces the cache line impact and avoids
having yet another set of architecture specific functionality.
To support multi size robust list applications (gaming) this provides two
ranges when COMPAT is enabled.

initramfs_test_extract() and friends call unpack_to_rootfs() from a
kunit kthread while do_populate_rootfs() may still be running
asynchronously from rootfs_initcall. unpack_to_rootfs() keeps its
parser state in module-static variables (victim, byte_count, state,
this_header, header_buf, name_buf, ...), so the two writers corrupt
each other.
On arm64 v7.0-rc5+ this oopses early in boot:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff80018f9f0ffc
pc : do_reset+0x3c/0x98
Call trace:
do_reset
initramfs_test_extract

Initramfs unpacking failed: junk within compressed archive
do_reset() faults because 'victim' was overwritten by the boot-time
unpacker; the boot unpacker meanwhile logs the bogus "junk within
compressed archive" on the real initrd because the test wrecked its
state machine.
Add a .suite_init callback that calls wait_for_initramfs() so the async
unpack is quiescent before the first case runs. suite_init runs once per
suite rather than before every individual test case.

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.

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.

Several places in init/do_mounts.c allocate temporary buffers for
filesystem names or options using __get_free_page() or alloc_page().
Usage of alloc_page() APIs is not required there and only creates
unnecessary noise with castings or conversion from struct page to void *.
kmalloc() is a better API for these uses and it also provides better
scalability and more debugging possibilities.
Replace use of __get_free_page() and alloc_page() with kmalloc().
While on it, add a check for -ENOMEM condition in mount_root_generic().

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
- Documentation, selftest, and tooling updates. Misc bug fixes and
cleanups

Pull driver core updates from Danilo Krummrich:
"debugfs:
- Fix NULL pointer dereference in debugfs_create_str()
- Fix misplaced EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for debugfs_create_str()
- Fix soundwire debugfs NULL pointer dereference from uninitialized
firmware_file
device property:
- Make fwnode flags modifications thread safe; widen the field to
unsigned long and use set_bit() / clear_bit() based accessors
- Document how to check for the property presence
devres:
- Separate struct devres_node from its "subclasses" (struct devres,
struct devres_group); give struct devres_node its own release and
free callbacks for per-type dispatch
- Introduce struct devres_action for devres actions, avoiding the
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN alignment overhead of struct devres
- Export struct devres_node and its init/add/remove/dbginfo
primitives for use by Rust Devres<T>
- Fix missing node debug info in devm_krealloc()
- Use guard(spinlock_irqsave) where applicable; consolidate unlock
paths in devres_release_group()
driver_override:
- Convert PCI, WMI, vdpa, s390/cio, s390/ap, and fsl-mc to the
generic driver_override infrastructure, replacing per-bus
driver_override strings, sysfs attributes, and match logic; fixes a
potential UAF from unsynchronized access to driver_override in bus
match() callbacks
- Simplify __device_set_driver_override() logic
kernfs:
- Send IN_DELETE_SELF and IN_IGNORED inotify events on kernfs file
and directory removal
- Add corresponding selftests for memcg
platform:
- Allow attaching software nodes when creating platform devices via a
new 'swnode' field in struct platform_device_info
- Add kerneldoc for struct platform_device_info
software node:
- Move software node initialization from postcore_initcall() to
driver_init(), making it available early in the boot process
- Move kernel_kobj initialization (ksysfs_init) earlier to support
the above
- Remove software_node_exit(); dead code in a built-in unit
SoC:
- Introduce of_machine_read_compatible() and of_machine_read_model()
OF helpers and export soc_attr_read_machine() to replace direct
accesses to of_root from SoC drivers; also enables
CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST coverage for these drivers
sysfs:
- Constify attribute group array pointers to
'const struct attribute_group *const *' in sysfs functions,
device_add_groups() / device_remove_groups(), and struct class
Rust:
- Devres:
- Embed struct devres_node directly in Devres<T> instead of going
through devm_add_action(), avoiding the extra allocation and the
unnecessary ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN alignment
- I/O:
- Turn IoCapable from a marker trait into a functional trait
carrying the raw I/O accessor implementation (io_read /
io_write), providing working defaults for the per-type Io
methods
- Add RelaxedMmio wrapper type, making relaxed accessors usable in
code generic over the Io trait
- Remove overloaded per-type Io methods and per-backend macros
from Mmio and PCI ConfigSpace
- I/O (Register):
- Add IoLoc trait and generic read/write/update methods to the Io
trait, making I/O operations parameterizable by typed locations
- Add register! macro for defining hardware register types with
typed bitfield accessors backed by Bounded values; supports
direct, relative, and array register addressing
- Add write_reg() / try_write_reg() and LocatedRegister trait
- Update PCI sample driver to demonstrate the register! macro
Example:
```
register! {
/// UART control register.
CTRL(u32) @ 0x18 {
/// Receiver enable.
19:19 rx_enable => bool;
/// Parity configuration.
14:13 parity ?=> Parity;
}
/// FIFO watermark and counter register.
WATER(u32) @ 0x2c {
/// Number of datawords in the receive FIFO.
26:24 rx_count;
/// RX interrupt threshold.
17:16 rx_water;
}
}
impl WATER {
fn rx_above_watermark(&self) -> bool {
self.rx_count() > self.rx_water()
}
}
fn init(bar: &pci::Bar<BAR0_SIZE>) {
let water = WATER::zeroed()
.with_const_rx_water::<1>(); // > 3 would not compile
bar.write_reg(water);
let ctrl = CTRL::zeroed()
.with_parity(Parity::Even)
.with_rx_enable(true);
bar.write_reg(ctrl);
}
fn handle_rx(bar: &pci::Bar<BAR0_SIZE>) {
if bar.read(WATER).rx_above_watermark() {
// drain the FIFO
}
}
fn set_parity(bar: &pci::Bar<BAR0_SIZE>, parity: Parity) {

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.

Until the version bump of `bindgen`, we needed to pass a dummy parameter
to avoid failing the `--version` call.
Thus remove it.
