2026-08-10LoongArch: KVM: Use internal API to deliver interrupt in kernel modeBibo Mao
API kvm_vcpu_ioctl_interrupt() is mainly to used to deliver interrupt from user mode, and internal APIs kvm_queue_irq() and kvm_dequeue_irq() are used in kernel mode. Also move IPI inject and ack within lock protection to avoid contention in ipi_set() and ipi_clear(). Signed-off-by: Bibo Mao <maobibo@loongson.cn> Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen <chenhuacai@loongson.cn>

2026-08-10LoongArch: KVM: Fix PC double advance in kernel MMIO read fast pathZeng Chi
In the in-kernel MMIO read fast path of kvm_emu_mmio_read(), kvm_complete_mmio_read() already advances the guest PC via update_pc(). The explicit update_pc() call right after it advances the PC a second time, so PC moves forward by 8 bytes instead of 4, and the instruction following the MMIO read is silently skipped. The user space MMIO read completion path in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() calls kvm_complete_mmio_read() only once, and the MMIO write fast path advances the PC exactly once as well. Here remove the redundant update_pc() so the kernel MMIO read fast path advances the PC by a single instruction.

2026-08-10LoongArch: KVM: Reload one-shot TVAL on migration destinationTao Cui
kvm_restore_timer() rebuilds the remaining timer countdown value from vcpu->arch.expire, which is host-internal and is not part of the migrated vCPU state. On the migration destination it is still 0, so for a one-shot timer that has not expired yet the computed delta is 0 and write_gcsr_timertick(0) injects the timer interrupt immediately instead of after the remaining time. The expired one-shot case (TVAL = -1) is already handled earlier. When expire has not been set (i.e. on the migration destination), reload the remaining countdown value from the migrated TVAL. This covers both one- shot and periodic timers. The regular preempt/resume path on the source, where expire is valid, is unchanged.

2026-08-09ovpn: defer key slot crypto freeing to workqueueRalf Lici
Key slots are released through a kref and the existing release path frees the AEAD transforms from an RCU callback. That is not safe for all crypto implementations: crypto_free_aead can sleep, for example when an async or hardware implementation has teardown work to complete. Use queue_rcu_work for key-slot release. This keeps the RCU grace period needed by lockless key-slot readers, but runs the actual crypto teardown from workqueue context where sleeping is allowed. Once the rcu_work callback runs, pre-existing RCU readers are gone, and the final kref put already proves that no transform user remains, so the worker can release the AEAD transforms and free the slot directly. The previous patch drains ovpn_wq during module exit, so queued key-slot teardown work cannot outlive module text.

2026-08-09ovpn: run deferred work on a module-owned workqueueRalf Lici
ovpn queues several work items whose callbacks execute module text. These works currently run on the global system workqueues, so module exit has no driver-owned drain point that guarantees the callbacks have fully returned before the module text can be freed. Object references protect the objects used by the callbacks, but they do not prove that a workqueue function has returned. In particular, a worker can drop the final reference that unblocks device teardown while it is still executing ovpn code. Add a module-owned workqueue and queue all ovpn work items on it. During module exit, unregister rtnl and netlink first, flush the workqueue so ordinary ovpn workers finish, run the final RCU barrier, and destroy the workqueue last. This keeps the workqueue available for cleanup work queued from RCU callbacks, while ensuring no ovpn work item can outlive the module text. The per-device delayed keepalive work remains explicitly disabled during netdev teardown (disable_delayed_work_sync in ndo_uninit), since flush_workqueue does not flush delayed work that is still only pending on its timer.

It should be using list_for_each_entry_safe(). - Fix eventfs_inode SRCU use of list in freeing The iterator uses an SRCU protected list walk on the eventfs inodes. The eventfs inode uses its "list" field in a union with the RCU list head. When the inode gets added to the SRCU list it immediately corrupts the list pointer and can cause an issue with the iterator. Move the RCU list head to be shared with the children list head which allows the iterator to check the parent inode if is freed before referencing the child. Have the iterator check the parent "is_freed" field and break out if it is set. Also add memory barriers to make sure the ordering is correct. - Fix various RCU synchronization issues with direct_functions Updates to direct_functions have some missing RCU protection and synchronization. Restructure the code a bit to make sure updates to the direct_functions are protected. - Remove an unneeded comma from a scope_guard() There's a spurious comma in a scope_guard(). Remove it. - Fix race in per CPU buffer swap in the ring buffer When a per CPU buffer swap happens, it must make sure that it doesn't occur while a writer is active. Instead it returns an -EBUSY. But there's a small race window when a writer moves from one sub-buffer to the next that it resets the "committing" counter. If a swap happens at that moment, the buffer used for the commit of an event will not match the buffer the event is actually on. Instead of using the "committing" counter, use the recursive detection counter that does not get reset when the writer crosses sub-buffers. - Fix off-by-one in ftrace_free_mem() The function ftrace_free_mem() gets an "end_ptr" as a parameter that is exclusive to the rang to be freed. But its value is used to search for the records that expects an inclusive value. Subtract one from the parameter to convert it to an inclusive range. - Disable resizing of the ring buffer for persistent buffers Resizing the persistent buffer has undefined behavior. Prevent it from being resized. - Disable changing ring buffer subbuf order when resizing is disabled The ring buffer subbuffer order can not be changed during resizing. Use that instead of just checking if the buffer is mapped as mapped buffers also have resizing disabled. - Initialize subbuf_order of reader pages when they are created In rb_allocate_cpu_buffer() the bpage->order is not updated to the current subbuf_order leaving it as zero. This value is used when the page is freed. - Fix test_ringbuffer() to test for ERR_PTR before calling kthread_stop() The rb_threads[] array is assigned the output of kthread_run_on_cpu() which could return an ERR_PTR. At the end of the test, all threads in the array are cleaned up by kthread_stop() passing in the value in the array if it isn't zero.

2026-08-09KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add support for compat CPU capabilities for KVM on PowerNVAmit Machhiwal
Currently, when booting a compatibility-mode KVM guest (L1) on a PowerNV hypervisor (L0), the guest runs with the expected processor compatibility level. However, when booting a nested KVM guest (L2) inside the L1, QEMU derives the CPU model from the raw host PVR and attempts to run the nested guest at that level, instead of honoring the compatibility mode of the L1. Extend host CPU compatibility capability reporting to support nested virtualization on PowerNV systems (PAPR nested API v1). For nested API v2 (PowerVM), compatibility capabilities are served from the cached nested_capabilities value (populated at module init via kvmhv_nested_init() using the H_GUEST_GET_CAPABILITIES hcall). This information is not available on PowerNV systems. For nested API v1, derive the compatibility capabilities from the L1 guest by reading the "cpu-version" property from the device tree, which reflects the effective (logical) processor compatibility level. Map this value to the corresponding compatibility capability bitmap using KVM-specific constants. The mapping is cumulative: a system running at a given compatibility level is assumed to also support older generations down the supported chain. Note that unlike KVM on PowerVM (nested API v2), KVM on PowerNV currently does not strictly enforce older generation compatibility modes for nested guests - the reported capabilities reflect what the host CPU can present, not what the hypervisor independently validates. Introduce a helper kvmppc_map_compat_capabilities() to translate CPU version values into KVM_PPC_COMPAT_CAP bits using a fallthrough switch, and integrate it into kvmppc_get_compat_caps(). The implementation applies masking to ensure only supported processor modes are exposed. This allows userspace to query host CPU compatibility modes on both KVM on PowerVM and on PowerNV platforms via the KVM_PPC_GET_COMPAT_CAPS ioctl.

2026-08-09KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Implement compat CPU capability retrieval for KVM on ↵Amit Machhiwal
PowerVM On POWER systems, the host CPU may run in a compatibility mode (e.g., a Power11 processor operating in Power10 compatibility mode). In such cases, the effective CPU level exposed to guests differs from the physical processor generation. When running nested KVM guests, QEMU derives the host CPU type using mfpvr(), which reflects the physical processor version. This can result in a mismatch between the CPU model selected by QEMU and the compatibility mode enforced by the host, leading to guest boot failures. For example, booting a nested guest on a Power11 LPAR configured in Power10 compatibility mode fails with: KVM-NESTEDv2: couldn't set guest wide elements [..KVM reg dump..] This occurs because QEMU selects a CPU model corresponding to the physical processor (via mfpvr()), while the host operates in a lower compatibility mode. As a result, KVM rejects the requested compatibility level during guest initialization. On pseries nestedv2 systems, add support for retrieving host CPU compatibility capabilities for nested guests on PowerVM. The capability bitmap reflects the processor modes negotiated between the Power hypervisor (L0) and the host partition (L1) via the H_GUEST_GET_CAPABILITIES hcall, but is retrieved from the cached nested_capabilities value populated during module initialization, avoiding repeated hypervisor calls. A WARN_ON_ONCE() flags the unexpected case where nested_capabilities is zero on a nestedv2 system. The implementation defines KVM-specific capability constants (KVM_PPC_COMPAT_CAP_POWER9/10/11), masks unsupported bits, and exposes the result through the KVM_PPC_GET_COMPAT_CAPS ioctl. Hook the implementation into the Book3S HV kvmppc_ops so that it can be invoked by the generic KVM ioctl handling code.

2026-08-09KVM: PPC: Introduce KVM_CAP_PPC_COMPAT_CAPS and wire up ioctlAmit Machhiwal
Introduce a new capability and ioctl to expose CPU compatibility modes supported by the host processor for nested guests. On IBM POWER systems, newer processor generations (N) can operate in compatibility modes corresponding to earlier generations, like (N-1) and (N-2). This is particularly relevant for nested virtualization, where nested KVM guests may need to run with a specific processor compatibility level. Introduce KVM_CAP_PPC_COMPAT_CAPS capability and the corresponding KVM_PPC_GET_COMPAT_CAPS vm ioctl. The ioctl returns a bitmap describing the compatibility modes supported by the host in respective bit numbers, allowing userspace (e.g., QEMU) to select an appropriate compatibility level when configuring nested KVM guests. The ioctl handling is added in kvm_arch_vm_ioctl() and retrieves host CPU compatibility capabilities via a PowerPC-specific backend implementation when available. The struct kvm_ppc_compat_caps places the 'size' field first so it can be read alone via get_user() before copy_struct_from_user() is called, avoiding pointer arithmetic to locate the size field. The ioctl is defined using _IO so the ioctl number remains stable even if the struct grows in future versions. It uses copy_struct_from_user() and copy_struct_to_user() to provide forward- and backward-compatible extensibility: older userspace passing a smaller struct to a newer kernel gets zero-padded trailing fields. Newer userspace passing a larger struct to an older kernel (usize > ksize) succeeds if trailing bytes are zero (the kernel reports back min(usize, ksize) as the filled size); if trailing bytes are non-zero, the kernel writes back ksize into host_caps.size and returns -E2BIG so userspace can retry with the correct size. KVM_PPC_COMPAT_CAPS_SIZE_VER0 is defined as a frozen integer constant (24) marking the size of the initial struct version, used as the minimum floor for size field validation, similar to other versioned struct interfaces in the kernel. The 'flags' field is reserved for future use. The kernel rejects any call where flags is non-zero with -EINVAL, preventing garbage values from being baked into ABI permanently. The ioctl returns appropriate error codes: E2BIG if usize exceeds PAGE_SIZE, or if new userspace provides a larger struct with non-zero trailing bytes (with ksize written back into host_caps.size for the retry); EINVAL for an invalid size or non-zero reserved fields; EFAULT for failed copy operations; and ENOTTY if the backend doesn't implement get_compat_caps.

2026-08-09gpio: ppc44x: fix undefined behavior in GPIO_MASK2 macroRosen Penev
Shifting a 32-bit unsigned integer by 32 or more places is undefined behavior in C. GPIO_MASK2 computes its shift amount as (gpio) * 2, and for pins 16-31 in the OSRH/TSRH bank this yields shifts of 32-62. While this happens to work on PowerPC because slw masks the shift count to the low 5 bits, compilers performing value-range propagation may assume the else branch is unreachable and optimize it away, or may evaluate the shift as zero on other architectures via COMPILE_TEST. Mask gpio to the 16-pin bank index so the shift stays within [0, 30]. The registers are banked (OSRL/TSRL for gpio 0-15, OSRH/TSRH for gpio 16-31) with an identical 2-bit-per-pin layout from MSB to LSB, so masking to the within-bank index preserves the intended behavior.

2026-08-09ALSA: hda/realtek: Enable headset mic on F+ FLAPTOP rAjrat Makhmutov
The BIOS of the F+ FLAPTOP r laptop (Realtek ALC897, SSID 1e63:6d9a) declares only pin 0x1b, the headphone output of the 3.5 mm combo jack. Every other external pin is left at 0x411111f0, so the headset mic pin 0x19 is never parsed and no headset mic input exists. The pin is wired on this board - retasking it makes the headset mic record. Reuse ALC897_FIXUP_HP_HSMIC_VERB, which already sets the pin config this machine needs: 0x19 as a headset mic without its own presence detect. Only 0x1b reports jack presence here, so a mic pin with presence detect would leave the driver in auto-mic mode waiting for an event that never arrives. Without the quirk the generic parser retasks the lone headphone pin as an input instead. That surfaces as a "Headphone Mic" input which records only the internal mic bleed, so the headset mic appears present but dead. Tested on ALT Linux, kernel 6.12, by recording a CTIA headset mic on the combo jack with the internal mic as a reference.

2026-08-09ALSA: usb-audio: add QUIRK_FLAG_ALWAYS_SET_RATE for Mackie DLZ Creator XSJJ Macalinao
set_sample_rate_v2v3() returns early when the clock already reports the requested rate: prev_rate = get_sample_rate_v2v3(chip, fmt->iface, fmt->altsetting, clock); if (prev_rate == rate) goto validation; A device advertising exactly one sample rate always takes this branch, so it never receives a SET_CUR for CS_SAM_FREQ_CONTROL at all. The Mackie DLZ Creator XS (0a73:003a, 14 in / 4 out, 48 kHz only) requires that write. Without it the device drops off the USB bus roughly 0.2-1.8 s into any stream, clearing its port CONNECTION bit; captured audio is byte-correct until the instant it vanishes. USBPcap traces of a cold-booted device on Windows show SET_CUR 48000 issued unconditionally on every stream start, followed by clean streaming. The device is otherwise driven with plain class-compliant UAC2 - it also works on iOS, which cannot load a vendor driver - so no vendor-specific initialization is involved. The device is self-powered, so the resulting state survives a USB replug: initializing it on any host that issues the write leaves it working on Linux until it is power-cycled, which made the failure look intermittent. Add a quirk flag rather than dropping the early exit, since the opposite requirement also exists in-tree: QUIRK_FLAG_FIXED_RATE suppresses rate setting for single-rate devices (JBL Quantum610/810). The two behaviors are device-dependent and cannot both be the default. A/B on identically cold-booted hardware, same kernel, same port, repeated twice: without the flag device dropped after 5-6 s, then again after 3-4 s with the flag 20 s playback followed by 20 s of 14-channel capture, 960000 frames, zero re-enumerations This change was developed with an AI coding assistant. The assistant did the trace analysis that located the bug and wrote the patch and this changelog; the hardware testing, the cold-boot cycles and the decision to submit were the author's. Several earlier hypotheses it proposed - URB queue depth, isochronous packet under-allocation, endpoint start ordering - were disproven by measurement before this one. The bug was located with usbmon on Linux and USBPcap on Windows, by diffing an enumeration capture of a cold-booted device on each host. Verified on physical hardware by the A/B above.

2026-08-08ring-buffer: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop()Hui Su
In test_ringbuffer()'s out_free cleanup loop, the check `!rb_threads[cpu]` only catches NULL entries and misses entries that hold an ERR_PTR. rb_threads[] is static, so unassigned slots are NULL. But when kthread_run_on_cpu() fails for a cpu, it stores ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) (or -EINTR) in rb_threads[cpu] before the creation loop jumps to out_free. That entry is non-NULL, so the old `!ptr` check does not break, and the cleanup proceeds to call kthread_stop() on the ERR_PTR. kthread_stop() then dereferences the bogus pointer, crashing the kernel during the late_initcall self-test. crash logs: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000001c Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP NOPTI CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 7.2.0-rc6-dirty #7 PREEMPT(lazy) RIP: 0010:kthread_stop+0x2e/0x220 RBX: fffffffffffffff4 CR2: 000000000000001c Call Trace: <TASK> test_ringbuffer+0x1ec/0x650 do_one_initcall+0x6c/0x2c0 kernel_init_freeable+0x21d/0x420 kernel_init+0x15/0x1c0 ret_from_fork+0x21b/0x320 </TASK> Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 64ed3a049e3e ("ring-buffer: make use of the helper function kthread_run_on_cpu()") Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260807154145.2846521-2-sh_def@163.com Signed-off-by: Hui Su <sh_def@163.com> Reviewed-by: Vincent Donnefort <vdonnefort@google.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2026-08-08ftrace: Fix off-by-one fentry site disable in ftrace_free_mem()Josh Poimboeuf
When a module's init text is freed, do_init_module() calls ftrace_free_mem() with a half-open [start, end) range. However the ftrace_cmp_recs() comparator treats the upper bound as inclusive, as all its other users do, passing 'ip + size - 1'. So ftrace_free_mem() can delete a record sitting exactly at 'end', which is outside the freed range. For a kernel without CFI or IBT, the first record of a function is at the function start, which for the first function in a module is also the base of its text allocation. As the module allocator packs its regions, that address is often the 'end' passed by a neighboring module's do_init_module(), causing the first function's ftrace location to get disabled, preventing an attempt to livepatch it: livepatch: failed to find location for function 'pcspkr_probe' Convert the exclusive end to the inclusive 'end - 1' the comparator expects, and return early for an empty range to avoid the subtraction from underflowing when the init text size is zero.

2026-08-08ring-buffer: Use current_context for safe per-CPU buffer swapTengda Wu
The ring_buffer_swap_cpu() function currently checks the per-CPU committing counter to determine if a buffer is actively being written to before performing the swap. However, there exists a race window where this check can be bypassed: ring_buffer_lock_reserve cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu]; // cpu_buffer_a rb_reserve_next_event rb_start_commit // inc committing if (unlikely(READ_ONCE(cpu_buffer->buffer) != buffer)) {...} __rb_reserve_next rb_move_tail rb_end_commit(cpu_buffer); // dec committing => 0 /* interrupt hits here, successfully swaps! */ local_inc(&cpu_buffer->committing); ring_buffer_unlock_commit cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu]; // cpu_buffer_b rb_commit rb_end_commit RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, !local_read(&cpu_buffer->committing)) // triggers warning The committing counter can temporarily drop to 0 during a single write operation (within rb_move_tail), creating a window where swap can succeed even though the write is still in progress. This leads to inconsistent buffer state and triggers the RB_WARN_ON in rb_commit(). Replace the committing counter check with current_context checks, which are set at the entry of ring_buffer_lock_reserve() and remain valid throughout the entire write operation, providing a reliable indicator of buffer busy state during swap.

2026-08-08openrisc: Include <linux/cpumask.h> in smp.hLyude Paul
While OpenRISC currently doesn't fail to build upstream, it appears that including <asm/smp.h> in the right headers is enough to break that - primarily because OpenRISC's asm/smp.h header doesn't actually provide any definition for struct cpumask. Which means the only reason we aren't failing to build the kernel is because we've been lucky enough that every spot including asm/smp.h already has definitions for struct cpumask pulled in. This became evident when trying to work on a patch series for adding ref-counted interrupt enable/disable to the kernel, where introducing a new interrupt_rc.h header suddenly introduced a build error on OpenRISC: In file included from include/linux/interrupt_rc.h:17, from include/linux/spinlock.h:60, from include/linux/mmzone.h:8, from include/linux/gfp.h:7, from include/linux/mm.h:7, from arch/openrisc/include/asm/pgalloc.h:20, from arch/openrisc/include/asm/io.h:18, from include/linux/io.h:12, from drivers/irqchip/irq-ompic.c:61: arch/openrisc/include/asm/smp.h:21:59: warning: 'struct cpumask' declared inside parameter list will not be visible outside of this definition or declaration 21 | extern void arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask(const struct cpumask *mask); | ^~~~~~~ arch/openrisc/include/asm/smp.h:23:54: warning: 'struct cpumask' declared inside parameter list will not be visible outside of this definition or declaration 23 | extern void set_smp_cross_call(void (*)(const struct cpumask *, unsigned int)); | ^~~~~~~ drivers/irqchip/irq-ompic.c: In function 'ompic_of_init': >> drivers/irqchip/irq-ompic.c:191:28: error: passing argument 1 of 'set_smp_cross_call' from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] 191 | set_smp_cross_call(ompic_raise_softirq); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | | void (*)(const struct cpumask *, unsigned int) arch/openrisc/include/asm/smp.h:23:32: note: expected 'void (*)(const struct cpumask *, unsigned int)' but argument is of type 'void (*)(const struct cpumask *, unsigned int)' 23 | extern void set_smp_cross_call(void (*)(const struct cpumask *, unsigned int)); To fix this, let's take an example from the smp.h headers of other architectures (x86, hexagon, arm64, probably more): just include linux/cpumask.h at the top.

In order to use preempt_count() to track the interrupt disable nesting level, __preempt_count_{add,sub}_return() are introduced, as their names suggest, these primitives return the new value of the preempt_count() after changing it. The following example shows the usage of it in local_interrupt_disable(): // increase the HARDIRQ_DISABLE bit new_count = __preempt_count_add_return(HARDIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET); // if it's the first-time increment, then disable the interrupt // at hardware level. if ((new_count & HARDIRQ_DISABLE_MASK) == HARDIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET) { local_irq_save(flags); raw_cpu_write(local_interrupt_disable_state, flags); } Having these primitives will avoid a read of preempt_count() after changing preempt_count() on certain architectures.
