Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM64:
- Add support for 'slot' based PMU events, paired with new UAPI that
compels the user to select a specific PMU implementation
- Lazy save/restore of vCPU state for pKVM, along with various fixes
and cleanups to the management of vCPU state between the untrusted
host and pKVM hypervisor
- Disable traps of EL1 registers for nested hypervisors when
FEAT_NV2p1 is present, guaranteeing that EL2-specific register bits
are stateful in the EL1 counterpart
- Leverage FEAT_NV3 to avoid unnecessary ERET/TLBI traps when the
scope of those instructions remains 'in host' (i.e. L1
kernel/userspace)
- Pile of fixes for the management of the VNCR pseudo-TLB, such as
under-invalidations and races with concurrent TLBIs on other vCPUs
- Consolidate the non-protected and pKVM view of ICH_VTR_EL2 to a
runtime-patched constant, allowing the same data to be shared with
pKVM prior to dropping host privileges
- Considerable pile of LLM-assisted fixes around the shop but mostly
in the VGIC, our in-kernel generator of bugs (and sometimes
interrupts)
LoongArch:
- Advertise already-supported capabilities
- Some bug fixes about timer and MMIO
- Some hardening about interrupt injection
- Replace kvm_err() with kvm_pr_unimpl()
- Add FPU/LSX/LASX test cases for selftests
RISC-V:
- Svadu/Zicfiss/Zicfilp FWFT support for Guest
- Use try_cmpxchg for IMSIC MRIF RMW
- More arch-specific tracepoints in KVM RISC-V
- Eager page splitting when enabling dirty logging
- Optimize hfence request handling for SMP Guests
- Improve dirty log clearing by skipping zero bits in mask
- Guard HFENCE range loops against overflow
- CPU PM notifiers in KVM RISC-V for non-retentive idle states
- Fix kernel-mode vector context save/restore for Guest
s390:
- Fixes for vfio-ap
- Fixes for the gmap rework
- Fixes for vsie
- AI triggered fixes all over
- diag9c tracing
- code move preparation for the additional arm64 support
- enable CONTEXT_ANALYSIS
x86:
- Perform spring cleaning on x86.{c,h} and asm/kvm_host.h, by adding
regs.c (the kvm_cache_regs.h => regs.h is already applied) and
msrs.{c,h}, and moving relevant code out of x86.c
- Split kvm_mmu in three parts, respectively to describe the format
of page tables, walking the guest page tables and building the page
tables. Always use the same page table walker kvm->arch.gva_walk as
the entry point to convert a guest's virtual address, where the
previous code used two different kvm_mmu structs depending on
whether the walk included nested EPT/NPT or not. Make page fault
vmexits reuse the permission checking machinery that is used for
guest page faults. This is both a cleanup and a baby step towards
supporting XS/XU memory permissions
- Document some of the "fun" gotchas with the APIC base when creating
IRQCHIPs on x86
- Remove a defunct masterclock update from kvm_xen_shared_info_init().
It could result in incorrect kvmclock due to triggering an
unnecessary switch to/from masterclock mode
- Skip Xen runstate time updates if time has effectively gone
backwards, so that the guest doesn't report 100% steal time for
a very, very long time
- Drop KVM's runtime updates of the Xen PV timing CPUID leaf, as KVM
was updating the wrong sub-leaf, and upstream KVM will soon provide
all the information needed by userspace to populate the CPUID field
itself
- Fix a bug where KVM would walk a newly created rmap without holding
the rmap lock (or mmu_lock) during aging
- Fix a bug where aging TDP MMU SPTEs could clobber FROZEN SPTEs
- Fix a variety of #DB priority bugs
- Fix a class of races related to enabling Hyper-V emulation on a
vCPU after the vCPU is visible to the rest of KVM
- Use static calls for nested virtualization ops
- Move more KVM-internal code out of x86's kvm_host.h
- Enumerate support for a variety of Zhaoxin instructions that don't
require explicit virtualization
- Fix missing EFER validation bugs, including in the KVM_SET_SREGS*
path
- Harden kvm_vcpu_map() against double-mapping and thus leaking
references
- Misc fixes and cleanups, e.g. for largely benign syzkaller splats
x86 (Intel):
- Zero a vCPU's entry in VMX's Posted Interrupt Descriptor table used
for IPI virtualization when the vCPU is freed, to fix a
use-after-free where hardware will write to a freed vCPU's PID
- Service local TLB flushes on a failed nested VM-Enter to fix a bug
where KVM could miss a TLB on a future, successful VM-Enter with
the same L2 VPID
- Cap the maximum value shoved into the VMX Preemption Timer to
workaround an erratum that affects all existing Intel CPUs that
support CPUID 0x15
- Fix VPID virtualization bugs where KVM would fail to flush hardware
TLBs
- Harden the TDX "populate" ioctls against bad input, and to prepare
for supporting in-place private<=>shared conversion
x86 (AMD):
- Forcefully invalidate SNP VMSA pages if their backing guest_memfd
page is zapped/invalidated, e.g. due to a PUNCH_HOLE in response to
a Page-State Change request
- Remove a dying VM from the GA Log notifier list before the VM is
actually destroyed, to fix a potential use-after-free
- While FOLL_WRITE was needed in the past to trigger CoW unsharing,
nowadays FOLL_LONGTERM does that already even without FOLL_WRITE,
and in fact, get_user_pages() actually disallows FOLL_WRITE
together with FOLL_LONGTERM. So don't pass FOLL_WRITE when
registering encrypted memory regions, i.e. when pinning SEV/SEV-ES
guest memory, to fix a regression with file-backed memory
introduced by KVM's (correct) usage of long-term pins
(This was reviewed by mm maintainers; for more information, see
commit ee1a586dd1fa "KVM: SEV: Drop FOLL_WRITE for encrypted region
registration")
- Allocate full pages for SEV/SEV-ES {DE,EN}CRYPT ops on SNP-enabled
hosts to fix a data corruption issue due to the PSP driver
assigning to-be-written pages to firmware (as required by the SNP
specs)
- Unconditionally intercept ICBEP so that KVM generates the correct
guest RIP when handling an ICEBP-induced TASK_SWITCH #VMEXIT
- Harden the SNP "populate" ioctls against bad input, and to prepare
for supporting in-place private<=>shared conversion
Generic:
- Remove kvm_debugfs_dir if kvm_init() fails after creating KVM's
debugfs
- Add a per-VM bitmap to track which vCPU IDs have been "claimed" but
for which the vCPU isn't yet online, and use the bitmap to reject
duplicate IDs before calling into arch code. This allows arch code
to consume vcpu_id without having to worry about cross-vCPU
clobbering (at least s390 and x86 have had related bugs)
- Rework the so called "prepare" and "invalidate" guest_memfd hooks
to prepare for in-place private<=>shared conversion, and clean up a
few warts along the way
Selftests:
- Automatically allocate a full page for L2 guest stacks on x86
instead of requiring test-specific L1 guest code to carve out a
portion of the L1 stack for L2 usage, and to ensure the L2 stack
also adheres to the x86-64 calling convention ABI
- Add a selftest to verify {Guest,Host}-Only behavior in x86's
mediated PMU
- Clean up nested SVM's handling of GPRs on L2<=>L1 transitions,
reuse the functionality for nested VMX, and drop the ucall hack
that was fudging around the lack of GPR switching on nVMX
- Add a stress test to verify KVM doesn't clobber/drop #PF state,
e.g. CR2, across save/restore, including when L2 is active
- Add a test to verify KVM_CREATE_VM accepts exactly what is reported
by KVM_CAP_VM_TYPES
- Misc selftests fixes and cleanups
- Fix several issues with seeding the pRNG, and rework the pRNG APIs
to that the pRNG can be sanely used in host code, not just guest
code
- Add an IRQ test to validate virtual IRQ deliverty for IRQs wired up
via KVM_IRQFD + KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING, with optional support for
triggering IRQs via writes to an assigned VFIO device
- Add syscall wrappers to assert success on a variety of pthreads and
CPU affinity APIs
- Set vCPU pthread affinity as early as possible to reduce contention
issues that were surfaced by PREEMPT_LAZY, which result in runtimes
of over a minute on large hosts, versus the expected ~5 seconds
- Rework the PMU counters test to run each testcase using a single VM
with many vCPUs for each sub-testcase, instead of using a unique VM
for each sub-testcase. This cuts the runtime by ~20x
Miscellaneous:
- MAINTAINERS updates for vfio-ap, guest_memfd, kvm-x86. Mostly
representing the status quo more accurately, but also... welcome
David Hildenbrand as guest_memfd reviewer!"

Pull PCI updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
"Resource management:
- Add hotplug reservation only once (not at each level of the
hierarchy) so bridge windows don't grow more than necessary (Ilpo
Järvinen)
Driver binding:

Norris)
Power control:
- Add support for PCIe WAKE# interrupt when described via DT (Krishna

Virtualization:
- Add ACS quirk for Pericom PI7C9X2G608 switches (Tim Harvey)

that didn't update the intended INTEL_MPC_REG_IRBNCE bit because it
used a 16-bit config write when a 32-bit write was intended
(Mohamad Raizudeen)
Procfs:
- Avoid spurious runtime PM wakeup on config space accesses that are
outside config space and fail before reaching PCI (Krzysztof
Wilczyński)

little-endian powerpc, 2- and 4-byte writes on big-endian powerpc)
(Krzysztof Wilczyński)
- In pci_read_legacy_io(), fix incorrect ioport read data for 2- and
4-byte reads on big-endian powerpc (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:
- Add imx6 intr/aer/pme interrupt lines for i.MX95 (Richard Zhu)

the host bridge (Sherry Sun)
- Fix build issues when PCI_PWRCTRL_GENERIC or PCI_HOST_COMMON is a
module (Arnd Bergmann)
- Create pwrctrl devices only once by doing it from imx_pcie_probe()
instead of imx_pcie_host_init(), which is used during both probe
and resume (Sherry Sun)

during suspend to preserve wakeup capability (Sherry Sun)
- Add runtime PM support for i.MX95 to allow dynamic power management

Intel VMD host bridge driver:
- Support device ID 0x28C1 and assume that BIOS has already
enumerated the hierarchy below VMD and stored bus range info for OS
to use (Nirmal Patel)
- Add support for VMCONFIG BUS_RESTRICT_CFG=3, which makes it
possible to enumerate downstream devices on Intel Arrow Lake-HX
systems and probably others (Ali Alaei)
- Pay attention to _OSC negotiation for VMD hierarchy only when
running on bare metal, not when running in a VM (Nirmal Patel)
- Add Nova Lake (NVL) and Dunlow (DNL) Device IDs (Szymon Durawa)

- Check for runtime PM resume failure to avoid register access while
power or clocks are disabled (Ali Tariq)
Synopsys DesignWare PCIe controller driver:
- Add LECARC PMU IDs to the DWC RAS/DES VSEC list so it can take
advantage of the existing debugfs support for silicon debug, error
injection, and event counters (Brett Zhou)
- Factor pcie_valid_speed() and pci_bus_speed2lnkctl2() out of bwctrl
so they can be shared by the DWC core (Hans Zhang)
- Flush MSI writes from endpoint before unmapping the iATU, as we
already do for MSI-X writes (Niklas Cassel)
- Unmap MSI iATU window before mapping MSI-X window, to avoid a
subsequent MSI write using a disabled aperture and losing the
interrupt (Niklas Cassel)
- Change endpoint .pre_init() and .init() callbacks to return errors
and handle them (Marek Vasut)
UltraRISC PCIe controller driver:
- Add 'core', 'dbi', and 'aux' clocks to DT binding and manage them
in the driver (Jia Wang)
- Use module_platform_driver() since this may be built as a module,
though not removable because IRQs can't be safely disposed (Jia
Wang)

quirk (Logan Gunthorpe)

silent data corruption
- "mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error
handling" (SJ Park)
Refactor the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts
are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit()
fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side
cleanup code
- "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan)
Add checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when freeing compound
or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio
splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows
the removal of redundant private field clearing inside
prep_compound_tail()
- "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry
Song)
Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in
wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock
contention and system overhead
By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining
and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a
30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads
- "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu)
Reorganize folio LRU and swap code by relocating page-cluster state
to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c, and moving
MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h.
- "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" (Kiryl
Shutsemau)

memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to
tiered or remote storage
- "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David
Hildenbrand)
Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE,
performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap
pages on the way.
- "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park)
Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated
when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the
behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames
existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to
probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to
maintain measurement accuracy.
- "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin)
Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where
thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock
contention.
By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it
reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to
under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under
memory pressure.
- "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport)
Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse
into new headers
- "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin)
Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to
collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during
KSM memory error handling.
It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the
anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range,
reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency.
- "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali
Patil)
Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can
report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not
satisfied
- "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park)
Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing
users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or
cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.
By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely
disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on
weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for
attribute-focused workloads.
- "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings"
(Stanislav Kinsburskii)
Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by
allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new
hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.
By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock
release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd
regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers.
- "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and
manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel
It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),
vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while
renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their
functionality.
These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that
will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd
folios.
- "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif)
Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk
callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries
created during HMM migrations
It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock()
properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present
THP or a standard migration entry.
- "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain)
Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb,
anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated
functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous
large folio unmapping.
- "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu)
Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI
document
- "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price)
Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM
infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing
entire memory regions
By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it
enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward
compatibility.
- "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type
to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure.
It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(),
unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like
mlock, mprotect, and mremap.
- "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin)
Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate
slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code
documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must
remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions.
- "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park)
Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only
fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access
from outer layers.
It enforces encapsulation across core structures including
damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to
interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct
members.
- "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races"
(SJ Park)
Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race
conditions identified in DAMON
It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a
NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring
accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races.
- "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan
Jackman)
Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages
on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks
via non-PCP or isolated migration paths.
It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation
risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory
hotplug or large allocation frees.
- "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan
Jackman)
Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and
debug assertions.
It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming
convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from
high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete
VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths.
- "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API
boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity.
It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a
dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO,
eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only
to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no
functional changes intended.
- "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive
reclaim" (Ridong Chen)
Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across
memory reclaim paths
It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so
unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page
cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead
of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete
gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim().
- "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang)
Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it
removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP
pages as non-resident.
- "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau)
Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API
- "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation
bugs" (SJ Park)
Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by
Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent
occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses
in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling.
- "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu)
Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags
without altering functionality.
It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag
bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*()
helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling.
- "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain)
Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within
userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching
capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().
This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in
try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control
flow and complexity.
- "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()"
(Sang-Heon Jeon)
Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of
__late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after
early_ioremap_reset()
It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()
must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset
calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures.
- "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner)
Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious
OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta
production
It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation
requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at
pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather
than spinning unproductively.
- "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior)
Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating
per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances
This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map
instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic
lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports
when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"One of the 'small improvements all over the place' releases for us.
It's hard to draw any direct comparisons because summer vacations
disrupted our patch processing (and presumably - generation) quite a
bit.
Quick and dirty count suggests we (Paolo and I) merged a very similar
number of net (632) and net-next (648) patches. This is not telling
the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also
*seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications.
We are completely overwhelmed, of course. The glimmer of hope is that
we secured sufficient LLM budget and access (thank you Meta!) to run
reviews with multiple frontier models on each patch. This eliminates
some hallucinations. That said, in terms of review, the LLMs can only
do so much.
The sad truth is that our APIs (especially for rare events like PCIe
errors, timeouts etc) have always been racy, and now LLMs don't let us
ignore that. I expect our direction for the next release will be to
tweak the reviews a little bit more, but start shifting focus to
letting the LLMs take care of the busy work - managing patchwork,
automating common process complaints, editing commit messages, and
maybe applying patches which already got "reviewed-by" tags from
people we trust...

Pull driver core updates from Danilo Krummrich:
"container_of:
- Apply typeof_member(), remove the local __mptr variable to
eliminate variable shadowing warnings on nested container_of()
calls, and remove unnecessary parentheses
core:
- Add driver name to probe debug print for initcall_debug
- Avoid repeatedly printing the same 'Fixed dependency cycle' log
- Unwind device_add() on attribute creation failure in
attribute_container_add_class_device()
- Remove statistics group if encryption group creation fails in
transport_add_class_device()
debugfs:
- Fix lockdown check for mmap_prepare()
- Warn if file creation failed due to uninitialized debugfs
device property:
- Implement fw_devlink support for software nodes by adding
software_node_add_links(), which creates fwnode links from
DEV_PROP_REF properties to enable automatic probe ordering. Add
kunit-managed fwnode helpers and test coverage
- Fix infinite loop in fwnode_for_each_child_node() when the
secondary fwnode has more than one child. Add test cases
- Fix out-of-bounds access in software_node_get_reference_args() when
called with index -1 (UINT_MAX)
- Refactor to use RAII approach with __free()
- Add Bartosz Golaszewski as software node reviewer
firmware loader:
- Fix race where a sysfs fallback request can complete before being
queued as pending, leading to a use-after-free on the next fallback
request
- Reject 0-size built-in firmware and fail the build on empty
firmware files in CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE
kobject:
- Provide __KOBJ_ATTR() and __KOBJ_ATTR_RO/WO() initialization macros
and allow the constification of kobject attributes, enabling them
to reside in read-only memory
platform:
- Provide platform_device_set_of_node(), platform_device_set_fwnode(),
and platform_device_set_of_node_from_dev() helpers that encapsulate
firmware node reference counting for dynamically allocated platform
devices
Convert all in-tree users that manually assigned dev.of_node or
dev.fwnode, fixing a pre-existing refcount bug in powermac. Switch
to counting references of all firmware node types, not only OF
nodes
- Unify the release path for dynamically allocated platform devices
by removing platform_device_release_full(). Amend the fwnode setter
API contract to warn if a primary software node is overwritten. Add
KUnit tests for correct software node removal on device
unregistration
Rust:
- Auxiliary:
- Add registration_data_with() closure-based API for invariant
ForLt types
- Debugfs:
- Migrate BinaryWriter and BinaryReaderMut trait requirements
from kernel::transmute traits to zerocopy traits
- Device:
- Add BoundInternal device context and InternalBoundContext trait
for bus abstractions that need internal access to a bound
device.
- Make the lifetime on Core and CoreInternal invariant to prevent
coercion to shorter lifetimes
- Devres:
- Fix race between concurrent revokers where the losing revoker
could return before the winning revoker finished dropping the
inner data, causing use-after-free.
- Ensure revocation is complete before the device finishes
unbinding by making the synchronization bidirectional.
- Add DevresLt<F: ForLt>, a wrapper around Devres that shortens
'static back to the caller's borrow scope. Implement ForLt and
CovariantForLt for Bar, IoMem, and ExclusiveIoMem
- Driver:
- Switch from index-based to pointer-based device ID info lookup,
storing static references in driver_data. Centralize device ID
handling in device_id.rs, removing the open-coded ACPI/OF
matching logic and duplicate ID table from driver.rs
- I/O:
- Make I/O regions typed (with a dynamically-sized Region type
for the existing untyped case), create view types representing
subregions of a mapped I/O region, and add io_project!() for
safely creating subviews.
- Split Io into a base trait (IoBase) and an extension trait (Io)
with a blanket implementation, preventing implementers from
overriding provided methods that unsafe code relies on.
- Add a SysMem backend for shared system memory with volatile
access, and make Coherent implement Io via an I/O view type.
Add IoSysMap as sum type of Mmio and SysMem. Add copying
methods (memcpy_{from,to}io()) and read_val()/write_val() for
typed access.
- Replace dma_read!()/dma_write!() with io_read!()/io_write!()
for primitives and copying methods for aggregates; drop the old
macros. Convert nova-core to use I/O projection.
- Fix internal shortcut rule dispatch in the register!() macro,
remove unused rule arguments, and use path fragments for alias
destinations
- IRQ:
- Make irq::Registration compatible with lifetime-bound drivers
by removing the 'static bound on Handler/ThreadedHandler and
replacing Devres<RegistrationInner> with direct
request_irq()/free_irq() calls. Handlers can now directly own
lifetime-bound device resources
- PCI:
- Convert IrqVectorRegistration to a lifetime-annotated owning
type, giving drivers explicit control over the allocation
lifetime. IrqVector embeds a resolved IrqRequest, making the
conversion infallible. Remove the redundant
request_irq()/request_threaded_irq() wrappers from pci::Device.
- Add pci_irq_type() C helper and expose it via irq_type() on
IrqVectorRegistration and IrqVector, returning PCI_IRQ_MSIX,
PCI_IRQ_MSI, or PCI_IRQ_INTX.
- Mark pci::Device refcount methods inline
- Serdev:
- Add Rust abstractions for the serial device bus, including
serdev::Driver trait, serdev::Device wrapping struct
serdev_device, and serdev::Adapter implementing
RegistrationOps. Includes a sample driver. Markus Probst takes
over as serdev maintainer for both C and Rust code
- Misc:
- Split ForLt into a base trait (providing the Of<'a> GAT) and an
unsafe CovariantForLt subtrait guaranteeing covariance,
enabling invariant types (e.g. those containing Mutex<&'bound T>)
to participate in the ForLt abstraction.
- Fix Coherent read past EOF returning -ERANGE instead of zero.
- Fix firmware example UB by avoiding null-pointer ARef
misc:
- Avoid iattr allocation in kernfs listxattr by using
kernfs_iattrs_noalloc().
- Unregister SoC bus on early device registration failure.
- Remove unused DMA_FENCE_TRACE Kconfig symbol.
- Fix /sys/module path in comment.
- Refactor ISA bus init to remove nested blocks.
- Remove redundant nodemask clears in numa_init().
- Add kernel-doc for fwnode_operations and sys_soc.h, mark
internal property data as private for kernel-doc, and add
property.h/fwnode.h to driver-api infrastructure docs.
- Add MAINTAINERS entry for sys_soc.h"

Pull treewide timer related cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
- Remove the leftover CLOCK_TICK_RATE which has been scheduled for
removal more than a decade ago along with some now empty asm/timex.h
files.
- Consolidate delay timer calibration
The construct of having a define in a header requires that
architectures provided asm/timex.h for no reason. Also the function
name for reading the delay timer is confusing at best.
Use a config switch to enable that functionality and rename the
function to delay_read_timer() to make the purpose clear.
This removes some more now empty asm/timex.h files as well.

Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Make syscall user dispatching configurable
Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching.
Allow them to disable the feature completely.
- Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the
architectures using it.
Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the
architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the
wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the
non-instrumentable constraints of that code.
Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic
entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible
point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry
code using architecture over.
- Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It
works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value
storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user
space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry
code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the
return value functionality of those interfaces is not really
intuitive.
Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user
dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the
syscall number through these mechanisms.
This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have
a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where
a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite
both the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem
which cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be
addressed by separating the storage model in the affected
architectures.

Pull failfs filesystem from Christian Brauner:
"Add failfs and expose a FD_FAILFS_ROOT sentinel.
This allows userspace to shed their filesystem state completely. A
process with its root or working directory in failfs must anchor every
path lookup at an explicit file descriptor. Absolute paths, absolute
symlinks and AT_FDCWD-relative lookups simply fail.
Failfs is the counterpart to nullfs. nullfs says adds a permanently
empty, immutable directory whose lookups fail with ENOENT but which
can be opened, read, stat'd and mounted upon. Failfs on the other hand
fails every operation. The root cannot be opened at all. A single
instance is mounted during early boot via kern_mount(), which makes it
logically distinct from every mount namespace.
This is accompanied by a new fchroot() system call which makes
chrooting via a file descriptor a first class concept. It's possible
to chroot into failfs as an unprivileged user provided the task has no
new privileges set"

In PowerPC (pseries) a non-virtualized adapter will have 2 DMA windows -
2GB default and a larger Dynamic DMA Window (DDW). DDW is large enough to
map total RAM to a device.
During normal functioning of OS, since RAM is pre-mapped, 2GB default
window is not used. The only scenario it might get used is when buffers in
pmemory are mapped to the device for DMA.
As of today, during kdump, during early device discovery, pci_dma_find()
finds that the device has 2 DMA windows. It selects to use DDW. This is a
kdump path and DMA window is needed for IO to the device.
Although commit 09a3c1e46142 ("powerpc/pseries/iommu: IOMMU table is not
initialized for kdump over SR-IOV") fixed an issue during kdump with SR-IOV
case, but this also made the kdump prefer DDW over the default DMA window
when both are present (dedicated adapter case). Since the DDW is fully
mapped by the previous kernel, iommu_table_clear() can free only
KDUMP_MIN_TCE_ENTRIES (2048) TCEs for use by kdump kernel.
This is not enough when the dump device is NVMe over Fibre Channel.
Because nvme-fc driver DMA-maps the cmds and resp IUs of every
pre-allocated request and each such mapping consumes roughly:
32 (IO queues, one per cpus = nr_cpus) *
64 (queue_depth, blk-mq kdump limit) *
2 (cmd+resp) = 4096
This is already double of what we have without counting admin queues and

Hence this patch partially reverts the previous fixes commit and
switches the kdump's default back to 2GB default DMA window instead of
DDW window. This window will mostly be empty. Or, could be slightly used

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.

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.

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.

Move the ppc4xx gpio driver out of arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/ into
drivers/gpio/gpio-ppc44x.c. The driver has no architecture-specific
dependencies and follows the same pattern as other PowerPC GPIO
drivers already in drivers/gpio/ (e.g. gpio-mpc8xxx, gpio-mpc5200).
- Renamed Kconfig symbol from PPC4xx_GPIO to GPIO_PPC44X
- Updated ppc44x_defconfig and warp_defconfig to use the new symbol
- Marked the new option as tristate (was bool) since the driver
supports module build via module_platform_driver()

Current Power system firmware caps the PVR list array size at 16 entries
during CAS (Client Architecture Support) negotiation. Passing more than
capped size to older firmware could cause an undefined behaviour and
breaks compatibility.
Future Power system firmware releases will lift this restriction and
support greater than 16 array entries.
Ensure that when running on Power11 or below hardware, the number
of PVR entries passed during CAS negotiation does not exceed the
firmware-imposed limit of 16.
In prom_send_capabilities(), compute start_index to skip the oldest
leading pvrs[] entries when running on Power11 or below hardware, so
that the pointer passed to ibm,client-architecture-support points to
ibm_architecture_vec.pvrs[start_index], presenting exactly 16 entries to
firmware.

Patch series "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory", v10.
This series adds userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM
guest memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to
tiered or remote storage.
This patch (of 15):
pte_protnone() and pmd_protnone() detect present-but-inaccessible page
table entries. This capability is useful beyond NUMA balancing -- for
example, userfaultfd working set tracking uses protnone PTEs to track page
access without unmapping pages.
Introduce CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE to decouple the protnone PTE
infrastructure from CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING. The six architectures that
support protnone PTEs (x86_64, arm64, powerpc, s390, riscv, loongarch) now
select this option, and CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING depends on it.
No functional change -- the same set of architectures continues to have
working protnone support, but the infrastructure is now available
independently of NUMA balancing.

The existing comment refers to cache line size, which can make it appear
that the value is a cache line size in bytes rather than a loop count.

In CONFIG_PPC_KERNEL_PCREL mode, r2 is no longer reserved for the TOC
pointer and is available as a caller-saved register [0].
Both call_do_irq() and call_do_softirq() use inline assembly to call
functions with stack switching, but fail to list r2 in their clobber
lists. This causes the compiler to assume r2 is preserved across these
calls, leading to register corruption when the called functions
(__do_irq and __do_softirq) clobber r2.
As a result of this kernel crash during interrupt handling is seen and
the kernel fails to boot:
BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on write at 0xc000000404697638
Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000000181ec
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
NIP [c0000000000181ec] __do_IRQ+0x6c/0xc0
With older GCC, the compiler would conservatively allocate
callee-saved registers (like r31) for values spanning function calls,
accidentally avoiding the bug:
<__do_IRQ>:
00 00 00 60 nop
a6 02 08 7c mflr r0
f8 ff e1 fb std r31,-8(r1)

40 00 21 38 addi r1,r1,64
2a f9 aa 7f stdx r29,r10,r31
With newer GCC 14, the compiler uses r2 for such values, exposing the
missing clobber specification:
<__do_IRQ>:
00 00 00 60 nop
a6 02 08 7c mflr r0
f0 ff c1 fb std r30,-16(r1)

30 00 21 38 addi r1,r1,48
2a 11 c9 7f stdx r30,r9,r2
Fix this by adding r2 to the clobber list for both call_do_irq() and
call_do_softirq() when CONFIG_PPC_KERNEL_PCREL is enabled.

With CONFIG_PPC_KERNEL_PCREL enabled, calling bpf_check_timed_may_goto()
using a bl instruction results in a link-time failure:
arch/powerpc/net/bpf_timed_may_goto.o: in function `arch_bpf_timed_may_goto':
(.text+0x28): call to `bpf_check_timed_may_goto' lacks nop, can't restore toc
Use CFUNC() macro instead of direct 'bl' to properly annotate the call
to bpf_check_timed_may_goto(). On PCREL builds, CFUNC() expands to
'bl name@notoc', informing the linker that TOC restoration is not
needed, avoiding the "lacks nop, can't restore toc" linker error.

After enabling GENERIC_ENTRY on PowerPC, syscall_enter_from_user_mode()
returns -1 as a sentinel to signal that seccomp or ptrace has intercepted
the syscall and already set a return value via syscall_set_return_value().
system_call_exception() was not handling this sentinel, and since -1UL
is >= NR_syscalls, the code fell into the out-of-range path and returned
-ENOSYS, overwriting the errno already placed in regs->gpr[3].
The naive fix of checking r0 == -1L before the NR_syscalls bounds check
is ambiguous: a user legitimately calling syscall(-1) also produces r0 ==
-1L, and a tracer intercepting such a call would have its injected return
value silently discarded.
Fix this by introducing a thread flag that is set whenever
syscall_set_return_value() explicitly updates the return value. In
system_call_exception(), check and clear this flag before dispatching
the syscall, and return the preset value directly when it is present.
This ensures that an explicitly supplied return value always suppresses
syscall execution, regardless of the syscall number.
This handles all seccomp actions correctly:
- SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO, SECCOMP_RET_TRACE (no tracer), SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF:
all call syscall_set_return_value(), flag is set, injected value returned.
- SECCOMP_RET_TRAP, SECCOMP_RET_KILL: call syscall_rollback() and deliver
a signal; flag is not set, but the process is dying so the return value
is irrelevant.
The fix covers both ppc32 and ppc64 with no #ifdefs.

On pseries LPAR systems, watchdog timers configured from userspace can
remain active after a kernel panic. When a panic triggers kdump, the
crashing kernel jumps directly to the kdump kernel without stopping
active watchdogs. As a result, the watchdogs remain active after the
kdump kernel starts.
If dump capture takes longer than the watchdog timeout, PHYP resets the
LPAR before the dump is fully captured, causing dump capture to fail.
Fix this by issuing the `H_WATCHDOG` hcall during the crash shutdown
sequence to stop all active watchdogs before booting the kdump kernel.

The pseries watchdog initialization registers the pseries-wdt platform
device using platform_device_register_simple(), but currently ignores
its return value.
Check the returned pointer for errors, log a descriptive error message
when registration fails, and propagate the failure code to the caller.
This avoids silently ignoring platform device registration failures.

The H_WATCHDOG input and output definitions are currently local to the
pseries watchdog driver. The next patch in this series also needs these
definitions to issue H_WATCHDOG hypercalls outside the watchdog driver.
Move the H_WATCHDOG definitions to a new common header,
asm/papr-watchdog.h, so they can be shared without duplicating the
PAPR watchdog definitions.
No functional changes.

On IBM POWER systems, newer processor generations can operate in
compatibility modes corresponding to earlier generations. This becomes
relevant for nested virtualization, where nested KVM guests may need to
run with a specific processor compatibility level.
Currently, when running a nested KVM guest (L2) inside a Power11 pSeries
logical partition (L1) booted in Power10 compatibility mode, the guest
fails to boot while setting 'arch_compat'. This happens because the CPU
class is derived from the hardware PVR (via mfspr()), which reflects the
physical processor generation (Power11), rather than the effective
compatibility mode (Power10).
As a result, userspace may request a Power11 arch_compat for the L2
guest. However, the L1 partition, running in Power10 compatibility, has
only negotiated support up to Power10 with the Power Hypervisor (L0).
When H_GUEST_SET_STATE is invoked with a Power11 Logical PVR, the
hypervisor rejects the request, leading to a late guest boot failure:
KVM-NESTEDv2: couldn't set guest wide elements
[..KVM reg dump..]
This situation should be detected earlier and rejected by KVM. Without
proper validation, if userspace ignores the error, the guest may continue
to boot in Power11 raw mode on a Power10 compatibility host, which should
not be allowed.
Introduce a validation mechanism that detects unsupported arch_compat
values early in the guest initialization path. When an unsupported
arch_compat is requested (e.g., Power11 on a Power10 compatibility mode
host), kvmppc_set_arch_compat() uses cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_P11_PVR) to
detect the mismatch and sets arch_compat to PVR_ARCH_INVALID (0xffffffff).
This sentinel value is architecturally safe: PAPR specifies that valid
logical PVR values must have 0x0f as the first byte, ensuring 0xffffffff
lies permanently outside the specification-defined range. Setting this
value triggers kvmppc_sanity_check() to mark the vCPU as invalid by
setting vcpu->arch.sane to false. On the next vCPU run, kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv()
checks this flag and returns -EINVAL, preventing the guest from running
with an invalid processor compatibility configuration.
With this, when a Power11 arch_compat is requested on a Power10
compatibility mode host, the guest fails early during boot with:
error: kvm run failed Invalid argument
This provides a much clearer failure mode compared to the previous
behavior where the guest could boot in Power11 raw mode (if userspace
ignored the error) or fail late during H_GUEST_SET_STATE.
