2026-06-23PCI/sysfs: Convert legacy I/O and memory attributes to static definitionsKrzysztof Wilczyński
Currently, legacy_io and legacy_mem are dynamically allocated and created by pci_create_legacy_files(), with pci_adjust_legacy_attr() updating the attributes at runtime on Alpha to rename them and shift the size for sparse addressing. Convert to four static const attributes (legacy_io, legacy_io_sparse, legacy_mem, legacy_mem_sparse) with .is_bin_visible() callbacks that use pci_legacy_has_sparse() to select the appropriate variant per bus. The sizes are compile-time constants and .size is set directly on each attribute. Register the groups in pcibus_groups[] under a HAVE_PCI_LEGACY guard so the driver model handles creation and removal automatically. Stub out pci_create_legacy_files() and pci_remove_legacy_files() as the dynamic creation is no longer needed. Remove the __weak pci_adjust_legacy_attr(), Alpha's override, and its declaration from both Alpha and PowerPC asm/pci.h headers.

2026-06-23PCI/sysfs: Add __weak pci_legacy_has_sparse() helperKrzysztof Wilczyński
Currently, Alpha's sparse/dense legacy attribute handling is done via pci_adjust_legacy_attr(), which updates dynamically allocated attributes at runtime. The upcoming conversion to static attributes needs a way to determine sparse support at visibility check time. Add a __weak pci_legacy_has_sparse() that returns false by default. Alpha overrides it to check has_sparse() on the bus host controller.

2026-06-23alpha/PCI: Compute legacy size in pci_mmap_legacy_page_range()Krzysztof Wilczyński
Currently, pci_mmap_legacy_page_range() reads the legacy resource size from bus->legacy_mem->size or bus->legacy_io->size. This couples the mmap bounds check to the struct pci_bus fields that will be removed when legacy attributes are converted to static definitions. Compute the size directly using PCI_LEGACY_MEM_SIZE (0x100000) and PCI_LEGACY_IO_SIZE (0xffff) macros, and shift by 5 bits for sparse systems.

2026-06-23alpha/PCI: Convert resource files to static attributesKrzysztof Wilczyński
Previously, Alpha's PCI resource files (resourceN, resourceN_sparse, resourceN_dense) were dynamically created by pci_create_resource_files(), which overrides the generic __weak implementation. The previous code allocated bin_attributes at runtime and managed them via the res_attr[] and res_attr_wc[] fields in struct pci_dev. Convert to static const attributes with three attribute groups (plain, sparse, dense), each with an .is_bin_visible() callback that checks resource length, has_sparse(), and sparse_mem_mmap_fits(). A .bin_size() callback provides the resource size to the kernfs node, with the sparse variant shifting by 5 bits for byte-level addressing. Register the groups via ARCH_PCI_DEV_GROUPS so the driver model handles creation and removal automatically. Use the new pci_resource_is_mem() helper for the type check, replacing the open-coded bitwise flag test. Finally, remove pci_create_resource_files(), pci_remove_resource_files(), pci_create_attr(), and pci_create_one_attr() which are no longer needed.

2026-06-23alpha/PCI: Add static PCI resource attribute macrosKrzysztof Wilczyński
Add macros for declaring static binary attributes for Alpha's PCI resource files: - pci_dev_resource_attr(), for dense/BWX systems (mmap dense) - pci_dev_resource_sparse_attr(), for sparse systems (mmap sparse) - pci_dev_resource_dense_attr(), for dense companion files (mmap dense) Each macro creates a const bin_attribute with the BAR index stored in the .private property and the appropriate .mmap() callback.

2026-06-23alpha/PCI: Remove WARN from __pci_mmap_fits() and __legacy_mmap_fits()Krzysztof Wilczyński
Remove the WARN() that fires when userspace attempts to mmap beyond the BAR bounds. The check still returns 0 to reject the mapping, but the warning is excessive for normal operation. A similar warning was removed from the PCI core in the commit 3b519e4ea618 ("PCI: fix size checks for mmap() on /proc/bus/pci files").

2026-06-23alpha/PCI: Fix __pci_mmap_fits() overflow for zero-length BARsKrzysztof Wilczyński
Currently, __pci_mmap_fits() computes the BAR size using "pci_resource_len() - 1", which wraps to a large value when the BAR length is zero, causing the bounds check to incorrectly succeed.

2026-06-23alpha/PCI: Use BAR index in sysfs attr->private instead of resource pointerKrzysztof Wilczyński
Currently, Alpha's pci_create_one_attr() stores a resource pointer in attr->private, and pci_mmap_resource() loops through all BARs to find the matching index. Store the BAR index directly in attr->private and retrieve the resource via pci_resource_n(). This eliminates the loop and aligns with the convention used by the generic PCI sysfs code. The PCI core change was first added in the commit dca40b186b75 ("PCI: Use BAR index in sysfs attr->private instead of resource pointer").

Currently, Alpha's pci_mmap_resource() does not check security_locked_down(LOCKDOWN_PCI_ACCESS) before allowing userspace to mmap PCI BARs. The generic version has had this check since commit eb627e17727e ("PCI: Lock down BAR access when the kernel is locked down") to prevent DMA attacks when the kernel is locked down.

gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull interrupt core updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Rework of /proc/interrupt handling: /proc/interrupts was subject to micro optimizations for a long time, but most of the low hanging fruit was left on the table. This rework addresses the major time consuming issues: - Printing a long series of zeros one by one via a format string instead of counting subsequent zeros and emitting a string constant. - Simplify and cache the conditions whether interrupts should be printed - Use a proper iteration over the interrupt descriptor xarray instead of walking and testing one by one. - Provide helper functions for the architecture code to emit the architecture specific counters - Convert the counter structure in x86 to an array, which simplifies the output and add mechanisms to suppress unused architecture interrupts, which just occupy space for nothing. Adopt the new core mechanisms. This adjusts the gdb scripts related to interrupt counter statistics to work with the new mechanisms. - Prevent a string overflow in the /proc/irq/$N/ directory name creation code. * tag 'irq-core-2026-06-13' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/irq: Add missing 's' back to thermal event printout genirq/proc: Speed up /proc/interrupts iteration genirq/proc: Runtime size the chip name genirq: Expose irq_find_desc_at_or_after() in core code genirq: Add rcuref count to struct irq_desc genirq/proc: Increase default interrupt number precision to four genirq: Calculate precision only when required genirq: Cache the condition for /proc/interrupts exposure genirq/manage: Make NMI cleanup RT safe genirq: Expose nr_irqs in core code scripts/gdb: Update x86 interrupts to the array based storage x86/irq: Move IOAPIC misrouted and PIC/APIC error counts into irq_stats x86/irq: Suppress unlikely interrupt stats by default x86/irq: Make irqstats array based genirq/proc: Utilize irq_desc::tot_count to avoid evaluation genirq/proc: Avoid formatting zero counts in /proc/interrupts x86/irq: Optimize interrupts decimals printing genirq/proc: Size interrupt directory names for 10-digit interrupt numbers

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs 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.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull openat2 updates from Christian Brauner: "Features: - Add O_EMPTYPATH to openat(2)/openat2(2). To get an operable file descriptor from an O_PATH file descriptor it is possible to use openat(fd, ".", O_DIRECTORY) for directories, but other file types require going through open("/proc/<pid>/fd/<nr>") and thus depend on a functioning procfs. With O_EMPTYPATH an empty path string is accepted and LOOKUP_EMPTY is set at path resolution time, allowing to reopen the file behind the file descriptor directly. Selftests are included. - Add an OPENAT2_REGULAR flag for openat2(2) which refuses to open anything but regular files with the new EFTYPE error code. This implements the "ability to only open regular files" feature requested by userspace via uapi-group.org and protects services from being redirected to fifos, device nodes, and friends. All atomic_open implementations were audited for OPENAT2_REGULAR handling. Explicit checks were added to ceph, gfs2, nfs (v4), and cifs/smb - these are the filesystems whose atomic_open can encounter an existing non-regular file and would otherwise call finish_open() on it or return a misleading error code. The remaining implementations (9p, fuse, vboxsf, nfs v2/v3) only call finish_open() on freshly created files and use finish_no_open() for lookup hits, letting the VFS catch non-regular files via the do_open() safety net. Cleanups: - Migrate the openat2 selftests to the kselftest harness and move them under selftests/filesystems/. The tests were written in the early days of selftests' TAP support and the modern kselftest harness is much easier to follow and maintain. The contents of the tests are unchanged and the new emptypath tests are ported on top. - Make the LAST_XXX last-type constants private to fs/namei.c.

2026-06-06vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex numbers in favor of (1 << n) for O_ flagsJori Koolstra
A recent build failure[1] exposed the diffculty of working with the current octal and hex definitions of O_ flags when trying to find a gap for a new flag. This difficulty is compounded by the fact that O_ flags may have architectural specific values. Replace the hex/octal #defines, which are hard to parse when looking for free bits, with explicit bit shifts like (1 << 11). Also, add comments that identify which architectures redefine some of the seemingly free ("cursed") bits in uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h. These should not be used to define new O_ flags (for now, at least). The translastion was done with Claude Opus 4.8, and verified with a (non-AI) gawk script. The accounting of which architectures claim which bit-gaps in uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h is also done by hand.

2026-05-26genirq/proc: Increase default interrupt number precision to fourThomas Gleixner
Quite some architectures have four character wide acronyms for architecture specific interrupts like IPI, NMI, etc. The default precision of printing the Linux device interrupt numbers is three, which causes quite some code to play games with adding or omitting space after the acronym and the colon in order to keep the per CPU numbers properly aligned. Increase the default number precision to four in the core code and get rid of the space games all over the place. At the same time align all architecture specific descriptor texts left so that they show up in the same column as the interrupt chip names, which makes the output more uniform accross architectures. Fix up the GDB script to this new scheme as well. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@kernel.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260517194931.839482411@kernel.org
2026-05-21ring-buffer: Flush and stop persistent ring buffer on panicMasami Hiramatsu (Google)
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.

2026-05-20console: mdacon: remove this obsolete driverEthan Nelson-Moore
The mdacon driver supports using ISA MDA or Hercules-compatible display adapters as a secondary text console. This was commonly used in the 1990s and earlier for debugging software which took over the primary display. It is highly unlikely anyone is doing so nowadays because serial consoles and much better methods of debugging exist. The driver is not enabled by any defconfig, nor any of the dozens of distro configs collected at [1]. It has been relegated to VTs 13-16 since commit 0b9cf3aa6b1e ("mdacon messing up default vc's - set default to vc13-16 again") in Linux 2.6.27 (and before Linux 2.5.53 - see the link in the message of the above commit). The change in 2.6.27 was done because it was incorrectly detecting non-MDA adapters as MDA and taking over all VTs, rendering them unusable. Furthermore, vgacon supports using MDA/Hercules-compatible adapters as the primary text console, so any systems with only one of these adapters were already using vgacon and will not experience any loss in functionality from the removal of this driver. Given all of these factors, the mdacon driver is likely entirely unused. Remove it.

2026-04-12alpha: Define pgprot_modify to silence tautological comparison warningsMatt Turner
Alpha's pgprot_noncached, pgprot_writecombine, and pgprot_device are all identity macros, so the generic pgprot_modify() produces tautological self-comparisons that GCC warns about: include/linux/pgtable.h:1701:25: warning: self-comparison always evaluates to true [-Wtautological-compare] Since all caching attributes are no-ops on Alpha, define pgprot_modify() to simply return newprot.

2026-04-12alpha: add support for SECCOMP and SECCOMP_FILTERMagnus Lindholm
Add SECCOMP and SECCOMP_FILTER support to the Alpha architecture and fix syscall entry and ptrace issues uncovered by the seccomp-bpf selftests. The syscall entry path is reworked to consistently track syscall state using r0, r1 and r2: - r1 holds the active syscall number - r2 preserves the original syscall number for restart - r0 carries the return value, with r19 (a3) indicating success/error This allows syscall restarts to be permitted only for valid ERESTART* return codes and prevents kernel-internal restart values from leaking to userspace. The syscall tracing error marker is corrected to use the saved syscall number slot, matching the Alpha ABI. Additionally, implement minimal PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET support for NT_PRSTATUS, exporting struct pt_regs directly. This fixes ptrace-based seccomp tests that previously failed with -EIO. With these changes, seccomp-bpf and ptrace syscall tests pass reliably on Alpha.

2026-04-05arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_pageMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
Reduce 22 declarations of empty_zero_page to 3 and 23 declarations of ZERO_PAGE() to 4. Every architecture defines empty_zero_page that way or another, but for the most of them it is always a page aligned page in BSS and most definitions of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page). Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement colored zero page (MIPS and s390). ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static inline causes severe pain in header dependencies. For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy: * alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only * arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact. * m68k/parisc/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock, although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS will work fine. * sparc64 can have empty_zero_page in BSS rather allocate it, but it can't use virt_to_page() for BSS. Keep it's definition of ZERO_PAGE() but instead of allocating it, make mem_map_zero point to empty_zero_page. * sh: used empty_zero_page for boot parameters at the very early boot. Rename the parameters page to boot_params_page and let sh use the generic empty_zero_page. * hexagon: had an amusing comment about empty_zero_page /* A handy thing to have if one has the RAM. Declared in head.S */ that unfortunately had to go :) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20260211103141.3215197-4-rppt@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) <rppt@kernel.org> Acked-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> [parisc] Tested-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> [parisc] Reviewed-by: Christophe Leroy (CS GROUP) <chleroy@kernel.org> Acked-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Acked-by: Magnus Lindholm <linmag7@gmail.com> [alpha] Acked-by: Dinh Nguyen <dinguyen@kernel.org> [nios2] Acked-by: Andreas Larsson <andreas@gaisler.com> [sparc] Acked-by: David Hildenbrand (Arm) <david@kernel.org> Acked-by: Liam R.

2026-02-26kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILSNathan Chancellor
Commit 3e86e4d74c04 ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390 and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader failing to load the compressed kernel [1]. Commit ddc6cbef3ef1 ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with commit d50f21091358 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition. Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has never been necessary in those uses.

2026-02-21Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argumentLinus Torvalds
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>

2026-01-26arch, mm: consolidate initialization of nodes, zones and memory mapMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
To initialize node, zone and memory map data structures every architecture calls free_area_init() during setup_arch() and passes it an array of zone limits. Beside code duplication it creates "interesting" ordering cases between allocation and initialization of hugetlb and the memory map. Some architectures allocate hugetlb pages very early in setup_arch() in certain cases, some only create hugetlb CMA areas in setup_arch() and sometimes hugetlb allocations happen mm_core_init(). With arch_zone_limits_init() helper available now on all architectures it is no longer necessary to call free_area_init() from architecture setup code. Rather core MM initialization can call arch_zone_limits_init() in a single place. This allows to unify ordering of hugetlb vs memory map allocation and initialization. Remove the call to free_area_init() from architecture specific code and place it in a new mm_core_init_early() function that is called immediately after setup_arch(). After this refactoring it is possible to consolidate hugetlb allocations and eliminate differences in ordering of hugetlb and memory map initialization among different architectures. As the first step of this consolidation move hugetlb_bootmem_alloc() to mm_core_early_init().

2026-01-26alpha: introduce arch_zone_limits_init()Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)
Patch series "arch, mm: consolidate hugetlb early reservation", v3. Order in which early memory reservation for hugetlb happens depends on architecture, on configuration options and on command line parameters. Some architectures rely on the core MM to call hugetlb_bootmem_alloc() while others call it very early to allow pre-allocation of HVO-style vmemmap. When hugetlb_cma is supported by an architecture it is initialized during setup_arch() and then later hugetlb_init code needs to understand did it happen or not. To make everything consistent and unified, both reservation of hugetlb memory from bootmem and creation of CMA areas for hugetlb must be called from core MM initialization and it would have been a simple change. However, HVO-style pre-initialization ordering requirements slightly complicate things and for HVO pre-init to work sparse and memory map should be initialized after hugetlb reservations. This required pulling out the call to free_area_init() out of setup_arch() path and moving it MM initialization and this is what the first 23 patches do. These changes are deliberately split into per-arch patches that change how the zone limits are calculated for each architecture and the patches 22 and 23 just remove the calls to free_area_init() and sprase_init() from arch/*. Patch 24 is a simple cleanup for MIPS. Patches 25 and 26 actually consolidate hugetlb reservations and patches 27 and 28 perform some aftermath cleanups. This patch (of 29): Move calculations of zone limits to a dedicated arch_zone_limits_init() function. Later MM core will use this function as an architecture specific callback during nodes and zones initialization and thus there won't be a need to call free_area_init() from every architecture.

2026-01-24alpha: fix user-space corruption during memory compactionMagnus Lindholm
Alpha systems can suffer sporadic user-space crashes and heap corruption when memory compaction is enabled. Symptoms include SIGSEGV, glibc allocator failures (e.g. "unaligned tcache chunk"), and compiler internal errors. The failures disappear when compaction is disabled or when using global TLB invalidation. The root cause is insufficient TLB shootdown during page migration. Alpha relies on ASN-based MM context rollover for instruction cache coherency, but this alone is not sufficient to prevent stale data or instruction translations from surviving migration. Fix this by introducing a migration-specific helper that combines: - MM context invalidation (ASN rollover), - immediate per-CPU TLB invalidation (TBI), - synchronous cross-CPU shootdown when required. The helper is used only by migration/compaction paths to avoid changing global TLB semantics. Additionally, update flush_tlb_other(), pte_clear(), to use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for correct SMP memory ordering. This fixes observed crashes on both UP and SMP Alpha systems.

Provide a new syscall which has the only purpose to yield the CPU after the kernel granted a time slice extension. sched_yield() is not suitable for that because it unconditionally schedules, but the end of the time slice extension is not required to schedule when the task was already preempted. This also allows to have a strict check for termination to catch user space invoking random syscalls including sched_yield() from a time slice extension region.

2026-01-20treewide: provide a generic clear_user_page() variantDavid Hildenbrand
Patch series "mm: folio_zero_user: clear page ranges", v11. This series adds clearing of contiguous page ranges for hugepages. The series improves on the current discontiguous clearing approach in two ways: - clear pages in a contiguous fashion. - use batched clearing via clear_pages() wherever exposed. The first is useful because it allows us to make much better use of hardware prefetchers. The second, enables advertising the real extent to the processor. Where specific instructions support it (ex. string instructions on x86; "mops" on arm64 etc), a processor can optimize based on this because, instead of seeing a sequence of 8-byte stores, or a sequence of 4KB pages, it sees a larger unit being operated on. For instance, AMD Zen uarchs (for extents larger than LLC-size) switch to a mode where they start eliding cacheline allocation. This is helpful not just because it results in higher bandwidth, but also because now the cache is not evicting useful cachelines and replacing them with zeroes. Demand faulting a 64GB region shows performance improvement: $ perf bench mem mmap -p $pg-sz -f demand -s 64GB -l 5 baseline +series (GBps +- %stdev) (GBps +- %stdev) pg-sz=2MB 11.76 +- 1.10% 25.34 +- 1.18% [*] +115.47% preempt=* pg-sz=1GB 24.85 +- 2.41% 39.22 +- 2.32% + 57.82% preempt=none|voluntary pg-sz=1GB (similar) 52.73 +- 0.20% [#] +112.19% preempt=full|lazy [*] This improvement is because switching to sequential clearing allows the hardware prefetchers to do a much better job. [#] For pg-sz=1GB a large part of the improvement is because of the cacheline elision mentioned above. preempt=full|lazy improves upon that because, not needing explicit invocations of cond_resched() to ensure reasonable preemption latency, it can clear the full extent as a single unit. In comparison the maximum extent used for preempt=none|voluntary is PROCESS_PAGES_NON_PREEMPT_BATCH (32MB). When provided the full extent the processor forgoes allocating cachelines on this path almost entirely. (The hope is that eventually, in the fullness of time, the lazy preemption model will be able to do the same job that none or voluntary models are used for, allowing us to do away with cond_resched().) Raghavendra also tested previous version of the series on AMD Genoa and sees similar improvement [1] with preempt=lazy. $ perf bench mem map -p $page-size -f populate -s 64GB -l 10 base patched change pg-sz=2MB 12.731939 GB/sec 26.304263 GB/sec 106.6% pg-sz=1GB 26.232423 GB/sec 61.174836 GB/sec 133.2% This patch (of 8): Let's drop all variants that effectively map to clear_page() and provide it in a generic variant instead. We'll use the macro clear_user_page to indicate whether an architecture provides it's own variant. Also, clear_user_page() is only called from the generic variant of clear_user_highpage(), so define it only if the architecture does not provide a clear_user_highpage(). And, for simplicity define it in linux/highmem.h. Note that for parisc, clear_page() and clear_user_page() map to clear_page_asm(), so we can just get rid of the custom clear_user_page() implementation. There is a clear_user_page_asm() function on parisc, that seems to be unused. Not sure what's up with that.

... same as native mount(2) is doing for devname argument. While we are at it, fix misspelling ufs_args as cdfs_args in osf_ufs_mount() - layouts are identical, so it doesn't change anything, but the current variant is confusing for no reason. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
