"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) Add 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 - "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. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-08-18-18-39' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (501 commits) selftests/mm: thuge-gen: fix test_shmget() for PAGE_SIZE check selftests/mm: unpoison pages in memory-failure teardown mm/shmem: downgrade final i_blocks check in shmem_evict_inode() to pr_warn() mm/khugepaged: replace mutex_lock/mutex_unlock usage with guard macro mm/zsmalloc: fix release order of locks in zs_page_migrate() Documentation: zram: remove sections numbering ksm: stop iterating VMAs when ksm_test_exit returns true mm: fold userfaultfd_rwp() to false without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch() zram: use a custom key for each zram object zram: move lockmap to be per-zram instead per table selftests/mm: fix gup_longterm EINVAL error message mm: page_alloc: fix non-movable reclaim storm in defrag_mode mm: page_alloc: move capture_control to the page allocator mm: compaction: support non-movable compaction for pageblock requests mm: page_alloc: __GFP_FS lockdep annotation for direct compaction hugetlb: evaluate subpool free state while locked mm/damon: remove trailing semicolons after function definitions mm/damon/ops-common: prevent migration fallback to non-target nodes mm/damon: update outdated comment about DAMOS filter handling ...

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

2026-08-10preempt: Introduce HAS_SEPARATE_PREEMPT_RESCHED_BITSBoqun Feng
With the changes that enable preempt count to track IRQ disabling nesting, we don't have enough bits in 32-bit preempt count implementation, as a result we move NMI nesting bits out of the 32-bit preempt count. However on the architectures that can support 64-bit preempt count implementation, we can keep the NMI nesting bits in the 32-bit preempt count and avoid maintaining NMI nesting bits outside of the same cache line. Therefore HAS_SEPARATE_PREEMPT_RESCHED_BITS is introduced to allow architectures to select this. Note that under this Kconfig, preempt count is maintained in a 64-bit word however preempt_count() still remains as an int because all the effective bits still fit in (previously we mask out NEED_RESCHED bit in preempt_count()). This should make no functional changes for existing preempt_count() users. Enable this for x86_64 along with the introduction of the Kconfig.

2026-08-04mm: decouple protnone helpers from CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCINGKiryl Shutsemau (Meta)
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.

2026-07-30mm: rename ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION to ARCH_HAS_PMD_SOFTLEAVESUsama Arif
CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION gates PMD-level migration entries. PMD-level device-private entries use the same migration mechanism and therefore require the same architecture support. Upcoming PMD-level swap entries can use the same PMD softleaf helpers without depending on page migration, so rename the architecture gate to CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMD_SOFTLEAVES. This describes the PMD entry capability rather than one current user of it. This is a pure rename: the set of selecting architectures (x86, arm64, s390, riscv, loongarch, and powerpc on PPC_BOOK3S_64) and the gating semantics are unchanged. No functional change intended.

The old AES-GCM library code is being replaced as part of an overhaul that is adding support for all the common AES encryption modes with consistent conventions. The SEV code is the only user of the old AES-GCM library. Update it to use the new API instead. Besides adjustments to the key struct name, function names, return value, and parameter order, the only notable changes are: - Replace the direct accesses to the auth tag length field (which should be considered private until someone truly needs it) with the AUTHTAG_LEN constant which is already defined in <asm/sev.h>. - Replace kfree() with kfree_sensitive() on lines being changed anyway.

2026-07-02x86/setup: prepend embedded bootconfig cmdline before parse_early_paramBreno Leitao
Call xbc_prepend_embedded_cmdline() in setup_arch() right after the CONFIG_CMDLINE merge and before strscpy(command_line, ...) so the build-time-rendered embedded bootconfig "kernel" subtree is part of boot_command_line by the time parse_early_param() runs. early_param() handlers (mem=, earlycon=, loglevel=, ...) now see values supplied via CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED_FILE without parsing bootconfig at runtime. Gate the prepend on the same opt-in the runtime parser uses: prepend when "bootconfig" is present on the command line, or when CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_FORCE is set. Detect it with parse_args(), exactly as setup_boot_config() does, so both agree on what counts as opt-in: any "bootconfig" key regardless of value (bare, =0, =1, ...), and only before the "--" that separates init arguments. Sharing the parser keeps the early and late paths from diverging -- e.g. "bootconfig=0" or a "-- bootconfig" meant for init must not apply the embedded keys early while the runtime parser skips them. The prepend necessarily runs before setup_boot_config() detects an initrd bootconfig, so an initrd cannot override the embedded "kernel" keys for early_param(). This is intentional: the embedded cmdline acts like a build-time CONFIG_CMDLINE. An initrd bootconfig's "kernel" keys never reached early_param() anyway (they apply late via extra_command_line), so nothing is lost -- the initrd keys still apply late, with last-wins keeping the embedded values in effect.

2026-06-19x86/platform/geode: reference the real node of the cs5535 GPIO controllerBartosz Golaszewski
GPIO software node lookup should rely exclusively on matching the addresses of the referenced firmware nodes. Commit e5d527be7e69 ("gpio: swnode: don't use the swnode's name as the key for GPIO lookup") tried to enforce this but had to be reverted: it broke existing users who abuse the software node mechanism by creating "dummy" software nodes named after the device they want to get GPIOs from, without ever attaching them to the actual GPIO devices. Those users rely on GPIOLIB matching the label of the GPIO controller against the name of the software node rather than on a real firmware node link. Un-reverting e5d527be7e69 therefore requires converting all such users to real firmware node lookup. The geode board setup is one of them: it references the cs5535 GPIO controller through a locally-defined dummy node named "cs5535-gpio". The cs5535 MFD driver now exports the software node associated with its GPIO controller cell as cs5535_gpio_swnode. Use it as the target of the GPIO software node references in geode-common.c instead of the dummy node, so the lookup resolves by firmware node address. As the referenced node must exist at lookup time, make the cs5535 driver built-in for all boards selecting GEODE_COMMON (depend on GPIO_CS5535=y). The node is exported in the "CS5535" namespace, so import it in this module.

The CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG option currently depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_AUTOFDO_CLANG, but this dependency seems unnecessary. Remove ARCH_SUPPORTS_AUTOFDO_CLANG and allow users to control AutoFDO builds solely through CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG. This simplifies the kconfig and avoids potential confusion.

2026-06-03x86/vdso: Implement __vdso_futex_robust_try_unlock()Thomas Gleixner
When the FUTEX_ROBUST_UNLOCK mechanism is used for unlocking (PI-)futexes, then the unlock sequence in userspace looks like this: 1) robust_list_set_op_pending(mutex); 2) robust_list_remove(mutex); lval = gettid(); 3) if (atomic_try_cmpxchg(&mutex->lock, lval, 0)) 4) robust_list_clear_op_pending(); else 5) sys_futex(OP,...FUTEX_ROBUST_UNLOCK); That still leaves a minimal race window between #3 and #4 where the mutex could be acquired by some other task which observes that it is the last user and: 1) unmaps the mutex memory 2) maps a different file, which ends up covering the same address When then the original task exits before reaching #5 then the kernel robust list handling observes the pending op entry and tries to fix up user space. In case that the newly mapped data contains the TID of the exiting thread at the address of the mutex/futex the kernel will set the owner died bit in that memory and therefore corrupt unrelated data. Provide a VDSO function which exposes the critical section window in the VDSO symbol table. The resulting addresses are updated in the task's mm when the VDSO is (re)map()'ed. The core code detects when a task was interrupted within the critical section and is about to deliver a signal. It then invokes an architecture specific function which determines whether the pending op pointer has to be cleared or not. The unlock assembly sequence on 64-bit is: mov %esi,%eax // Load TID into EAX xor %ecx,%ecx // Set ECX to 0 lock cmpxchg %ecx,(%rdi) // Try the TID -> 0 transition .Lstart: jnz .Lend movq %rcx,(%rdx) // Clear list_op_pending .Lend: ret So the decision can be simply based on the ZF state in regs->flags. The pending op pointer is always in DX independent of the build mode (32/64-bit) to make the pending op pointer retrieval uniform. The size of the pointer is stored in the matching criticial section range struct and the core code retrieves it from there. So the pointer retrieval function does not have to care. It is bit-size independent: return regs->flags & X86_EFLAGS_ZF ? regs->dx : NULL; There are two entry points to handle the different robust list pending op pointer size: __vdso_futex_robust_list64_try_unlock() __vdso_futex_robust_list32_try_unlock() The 32-bit VDSO provides only __vdso_futex_robust_list32_try_unlock(). The 64-bit VDSO provides always __vdso_futex_robust_list64_try_unlock() and when COMPAT is enabled also the list32 variant, which is required to support multi-size robust list pointers used by gaming emulators. The unlock function is inspired by an idea from Mathieu Desnoyers.

2026-05-04objtool: Grow __cfi_* prefix symbols for all CFI+CALL_PADDINGJosh Poimboeuf
For all CONFIG_CFI+CONFIG_CALL_PADDING configs, for C functions, the __cfi_ symbols only cover the 5-byte kCFI type hash. After that there also N bytes of NOP padding between the hash and the function entry which aren't associated with any symbol. The NOPs can be replaced with actual code at runtime. Without a symbol, unwinders and tooling have no way of knowing where those bytes belong. Grow the existing __cfi_* symbols to fill that gap. Note that assembly functions with SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START() aren't affected by this issue, their __cfi_ symbols also cover the padding. Also, CONFIG_PREFIX_SYMBOLS has no reason to exist: CONFIG_CALL_PADDING is what causes the compiler to emit NOP padding before function entry (via -fpatchable-function-entry), so it's the right condition for creating prefix symbols. Remove CONFIG_PREFIX_SYMBOLS, as it's no longer needed. Simplify the LONGEST_SYM_KUNIT_TEST dependency accordingly. Rework objtool's arguments a bit to handle the variety of prefix/cfi-related cases.

2026-04-20x86/shstk: Prevent deadlock during shstk sigreturnRick Edgecombe
During sigreturn the shadow stack signal frame is popped. The kernel does this by reading the shadow stack using normal read accesses. When it can't assume the memory is shadow stack, it takes extra steps to makes sure it is reading actual shadow stack memory and not other normal readable memory. It does this by holding the mmap read lock while doing the access and checking the flags of the VMA. Unfortunately that is not safe. If the read of the shadow stack sigframe hits a page fault, the fault handler will try to recursively grab another mmap read lock. This normally works ok, but if a writer on another CPU is also waiting, the second read lock could fail and cause a deadlock. Fix this by not holding mmap lock during the read access to userspace. Instead use mmap_lock_speculate_...() to watch for changes between dropping mmap lock and the userspace access. Retry if anything grabbed an mmap write lock in between and could have changed the VMA. These mmap_lock_speculate_...() helpers use mm::mm_lock_seq, which is only available when PER_VMA_LOCK is configured. So make X86_USER_SHADOW_STACK depend on it. On x86, PER_VMA_LOCK is a default configuration for SMP kernels. So drop support for the other configs under the assumption that the !SMP shadow stack user base does not exist. Currently there is a check that skips the lookup work when the SSP can be assumed to be on a shadow stack. While reorganizing the function, remove the optimization to make the tricky code flows more common, such that issues like this cannot escape detection for so long.

2026-04-05mm: remove CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVEDavid Hildenbrand (Arm)
Patch series "mm: remove CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE and cleanup CONFIG_MIGRATION". While working on memory hotplug code cleanups, I realized that CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE is not really required anymore. Changing that revealed some rather nasty looking CONFIG_MIGRATION handling. Let's clean that up by introducing a dedicated CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION option and reducing the dependencies that CONFIG_MIGRATION has. This patch (of 2): All architectures that select CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE also select CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG. So we can just remove CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. For CONFIG_MIGRATION, make it depend on CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE instead, and make CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE select CONFIG_MIGRATION (just like CONFIG_CMA and CONFIG_COMPACTION already do). We'll clean up CONFIG_MIGRATION next.

2026-02-27x86/apic: Enable TSC coupled programming modeThomas Gleixner
The TSC deadline timer is directly coupled to the TSC and setting the next deadline is tedious as the clockevents core code converts the CLOCK_MONOTONIC based absolute expiry time to a relative expiry by reading the current time from the TSC. It converts that delta to cycles and hands the result to lapic_next_deadline(), which then has read to the TSC and add the delta to program the timer. The core code now supports coupled clock event devices and can provide the expiry time in TSC cycles directly without reading the TSC at all. This obviouly works only when the TSC is the current clocksource, but that's the default for all modern CPUs which implement the TSC deadline timer. If the TSC is not the current clocksource (e.g. early boot) then the core code falls back to the relative set_next_event() callback as before.

2026-02-06mm: make PT_RECLAIM depends on MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREEQi Zheng
The PT_RECLAIM can work on all architectures that support MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE, except for those that have selected HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE,so make PT_RECLAIM depends on MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE && !HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE. BTW, change PT_RECLAIM to be enabled by default, since nobody should want to turn it off.

2026-01-28bpf,x86: Use single ftrace_ops for direct callsJiri Olsa
Using single ftrace_ops for direct calls update instead of allocating ftrace_ops object for each trampoline. With single ftrace_ops object we can use update_ftrace_direct_* api that allows multiple ip sites updates on single ftrace_ops object. Adding HAVE_SINGLE_FTRACE_DIRECT_OPS config option to be enabled on each arch that supports this. At the moment we can enable this only on x86 arch, because arm relies on ftrace_ops object representing just single trampoline image (stored in ftrace_ops::direct_call). Archs that do not support this will continue to use *_ftrace_direct api.

2026-01-20mm: introduce CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODEKevin Brodsky
Architectures currently opt in for implementing lazy_mmu helpers by defining __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE. In preparation for introducing a generic lazy_mmu layer that will require storage in task_struct, let's switch to a cleaner approach: instead of defining a macro, select a CONFIG option. This patch introduces CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE and has each arch select it when it implements lazy_mmu helpers. __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE is removed and <linux/pgtable.h> relies on the new CONFIG instead. On x86, lazy_mmu helpers are only implemented if PARAVIRT_XXL is selected. This creates some complications in arch/x86/boot/, because a few files manually undefine PARAVIRT* options. As a result <asm/paravirt.h> does not define the lazy_mmu helpers, but this breaks the build as <linux/pgtable.h> only defines them if !CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE. There does not seem to be a clean way out of this - let's just undefine that new CONFIG too.
