The race window is between the unlock and clearing the pending op pointer. If the task is forced to exit in this window, exit will access a potentially invalid pending op pointer when cleaning up the robust list. That happens if another task manages to unmap the object containing the lock before the cleanup, which results in an UAF. In the worst case this UAF can lead to memory corruption when unrelated content has been mapped to the same address by the time the access happens. User space can't solve this problem without help from the kernel.

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

2026-06-03futex: Add robust futex unlock IP rangeThomas Gleixner
There will be a VDSO function to unlock robust futexes in user space. The unlock sequence is racy vs. clearing the list_pending_op pointer in the tasks robust list head. To plug this race the kernel needs to know the instruction window. As the VDSO is per MM the addresses are stored in mm_struct::futex. Architectures which implement support for this have to update these addresses when the VDSO is (re)mapped and indicate the pending op pointer size which is matching the IP. Arguably this could be resolved by chasing mm->context->vdso->image, but that's architecture specific and requires to touch quite some cache lines. Having it in mm::futex reduces the cache line impact and avoids having yet another set of architecture specific functionality. To support multi size robust list applications (gaming) this provides two ranges when COMPAT is enabled.

This adds support for Software Tag-Based KASAN (KASAN_SW_TAGS) when CONFIG_RUST is enabled. This requires that rustc includes support for the kernel-hwaddress sanitizer, which is available since 1.96.0 [1]. Unlike with clang, we need to pass -Zsanitizer-recover in addition to -Zsanitizer because the option is not implied automatically. The kasan makefile uses different names for the flags depending on whether CC is clang or gcc, but as we require that CC is clang when using KASAN, we do not need to try to handle mixed gcc/llvm builds when Rust is enabled.

2026-05-14slab: support for compiler-assisted type-based slab cache partitioningMarco Elver
Rework the general infrastructure around RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES into more flexible KMALLOC_PARTITION_CACHES, with the former being a partitioning mode of the latter. Introduce a new mode, KMALLOC_PARTITION_TYPED, which leverages a feature available in Clang 22 and later, called "allocation tokens" via __builtin_infer_alloc_token() [1]. Unlike KMALLOC_PARTITION_RANDOM (formerly RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES), this mode deterministically assigns a slab cache to an allocation of type T, regardless of allocation site. The builtin __builtin_infer_alloc_token(<malloc-args>, ...) instructs the compiler to infer an allocation type from arguments commonly passed to memory-allocating functions and returns a type-derived token ID. The implementation passes kmalloc-args to the builtin: the compiler performs best-effort type inference, and then recognizes common patterns such as `kmalloc(sizeof(T), ...)`, `kmalloc(sizeof(T) * n, ...)`, but also `(T *)kmalloc(...)`. Where the compiler fails to infer a type the fallback token (default: 0) is chosen. Note: kmalloc_obj(..) APIs fix the pattern how size and result type are expressed, and therefore ensures there's not much drift in which patterns the compiler needs to recognize. Specifically, kmalloc_obj() and friends expand to `(TYPE *)KMALLOC(__obj_size, GFP)`, which the compiler recognizes via the cast to TYPE*. Clang's default token ID calculation is described as [1]: typehashpointersplit: This mode assigns a token ID based on the hash of the allocated type's name, where the top half ID-space is reserved for types that contain pointers and the bottom half for types that do not contain pointers. Separating pointer-containing objects from pointerless objects and data allocations can help mitigate certain classes of memory corruption exploits [2]: attackers who gains a buffer overflow on a primitive buffer cannot use it to directly corrupt pointers or other critical metadata in an object residing in a different, isolated heap region. It is important to note that heap isolation strategies offer a best-effort approach, and do not provide a 100% security guarantee, albeit achievable at relatively low performance cost. Note that this also does not prevent cross-cache attacks: while waiting for future features like SLAB_VIRTUAL [3] to provide physical page isolation, this feature should be deployed alongside SHUFFLE_PAGE_ALLOCATOR and init_on_free=1 to mitigate cross-cache attacks and page-reuse attacks as much as possible today. With all that, my kernel (x86 defconfig) shows me a histogram of slab cache object distribution per /proc/slabinfo (after boot): <slab cache> <objs> <hist> kmalloc-part-15 1465 ++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-14 2988 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-13 1656 ++++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-12 1045 ++++++++++ kmalloc-part-11 1697 ++++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-10 1489 ++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-09 965 +++++++++ kmalloc-part-08 710 +++++++ kmalloc-part-07 100 + kmalloc-part-06 217 ++ kmalloc-part-05 105 + kmalloc-part-04 4047 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-03 183 + kmalloc-part-02 283 ++ kmalloc-part-01 316 +++ kmalloc 1422 ++++++++++++++ The above /proc/slabinfo snapshot shows me there are 6673 allocated objects (slabs 00 - 07) that the compiler claims contain no pointers or it was unable to infer the type of, and 12015 objects that contain pointers (slabs 08 - 15). On a whole, this looks relatively sane. Additionally, when I compile my kernel with -Rpass=alloc-token, which provides diagnostics where (after dead-code elimination) type inference failed, I see 186 allocation sites where the compiler failed to identify a type (down from 966 when I sent the RFC [4]). Some initial review confirms these are mostly variable sized buffers, but also include structs with trailing flexible length arrays.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ojeda/linux Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda: "Toolchain and infrastructure: - Bump the minimum Rust version to 1.85.0 (and 'bindgen' to 0.71.1). As proposed in LPC 2025 and the Maintainers Summit [1], we are going to follow Debian Stable's Rust versions as our minimum versions. Debian Trixie was released on 2025-08-09 with a Rust 1.85.0 and 'bindgen' 0.71.1 toolchain, which is a fair amount of time for e.g. kernel developers to upgrade. Other major distributions support a Rust version that is high enough as well, including: + Arch Linux. + Fedora Linux. + Gentoo Linux. + Nix. + openSUSE Slowroll and openSUSE Tumbleweed. + Ubuntu 25.10 and 26.04 LTS. In addition, 24.04 LTS using their versioned packages. The merged patch series comes with the associated cleanups and simplifications treewide that can be performed thanks to both bumps, as well as documentation updates. In addition, start using 'bindgen''s '--with-attribute-custom-enum' feature to set the 'cfi_encoding' attribute for the 'lru_status' enum used in Binder. Link: https://lwn.net/Articles/1050174/ [1] - Add experimental Kconfig option ('CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS') that inlines C helpers into Rust. Essentially, it performs a step similar to LTO, but just for the helpers, i.e. very local and fast. It relies on 'llvm-link' and its '--internalize' flag, and requires a compatible LLVM between Clang and 'rustc' (i.e. same major version, 'CONFIG_RUSTC_CLANG_LLVM_COMPATIBLE'). It is only enabled for two architectures for now. The result is a measurable speedup in different workloads that different users have tested. For instance, for the null block driver, it amounts to a 2%. - Support global per-version flags. While we already have per-version flags in many places, we didn't have a place to set global ones that depend on the compiler version, i.e. in 'rust_common_flags', which sometimes is needed to e.g. tweak the lints set per version. Use that to allow the 'clippy::precedence' lint for Rust < 1.86.0, since it had a change in behavior. - Support overriding the crate name and apply it to Rust Binder, which wanted the module to be called 'rust_binder'. - Add the remaining '__rust_helper' annotations (started in the previous cycle). 'kernel' crate: - Introduce the 'const_assert!' macro: a more powerful version of 'static_assert!' that can refer to generics inside functions or implementation bodies, e.g.: fn f<const N: usize>() { const_assert!(N > 1); } fn g<T>() { const_assert!(size_of::<T>() > 0, "T cannot be ZST"); } In addition, reorganize our set of build-time assertion macros ('{build,const,static_assert}!') to live in the 'build_assert' module. Finally, improve the docs as well to clarify how these are different from one another and how to pick the right one to use, and their equivalence (if any) to the existing C ones for extra clarity. - 'sizes' module: add 'SizeConstants' trait. This gives us typed 'SZ_*' constants (avoiding casts) for use in device address spaces where the address width depends on the hardware (e.g. 32-bit MMIO windows, 64-bit GPU framebuffers, etc.), e.g.: let gpu_heap = 14 * u64::SZ_1M; let mmio_window = u32::SZ_16M; - 'clk' module: implement 'Send' and 'Sync' for 'Clk' and thus simplify the users in Tyr and PWM. - 'ptr' module: add 'const_align_up'. - 'str' module: improve the documentation of the 'c_str!' macro to explain that one should only use it for non-literal cases (for the other case we instead use C string literals, e.g. 'c"abc"'). - Disallow the use of 'CStr::{as_ptr,from_ptr}' and clean one such use in the 'task' module. - 'sync' module: finish the move of 'ARef' and 'AlwaysRefCounted' outside of the 'types' module, i.e. update the last remaining instances and finally remove the re-exports. - 'error' module: clarify that 'from_err_ptr' can return 'Ok(NULL)', including runtime-tested examples. The intention is to hopefully prevent UB that assumes the result of the function is not 'NULL' if successful. This originated from a case of UB I noticed in 'regulator' that created a 'NonNull' on it. Timekeeping: - Expand the example section in the 'HrTimer' documentation. - Mark the 'ClockSource' trait as unsafe to ensure valid values for 'ktime_get()'. - Add 'Delta::from_nanos()'. 'pin-init' crate: - Replace the 'Zeroable' impls for 'Option<NonZero*>' with impls of 'ZeroableOption' for 'NonZero*'. - Improve feature gate handling for unstable features. - Declutter the documentation of implementations of 'Zeroable' for tuples. - Replace uses of 'addr_of[_mut]!' with '&raw [mut]'. rust-analyzer: - Add type annotations to 'generate_rust_analyzer.py'. - Add support for scripts written in Rust ('generate_rust_target.rs', 'rustdoc_test_builder.rs', 'rustdoc_test_gen.rs'). - Refactor 'generate_rust_analyzer.py' to explicitly identify host and target crates, improve readability, and reduce duplication.

2026-04-09sched/cache: Introduce infrastructure for cache-aware load balancingPeter Zijlstra (Intel)
Adds infrastructure to enable cache-aware load balancing, which improves cache locality by grouping tasks that share resources within the same cache domain. This reduces cache misses and improves overall data access efficiency. In this initial implementation, threads belonging to the same process are treated as entities that likely share working sets. The mechanism tracks per-process CPU occupancy across cache domains and attempts to migrate threads toward cache-hot domains where their process already has active threads, thereby enhancing locality. This provides a basic model for cache affinity. While the current code targets the last-level cache (LLC), the approach could be extended to other domain types such as clusters (L2) or node-internal groupings. At present, the mechanism selects the CPU within an LLC that has the highest recent runtime. Subsequent patches in this series will use this information in the load-balancing path to guide task placement toward preferred LLCs. In the future, more advanced policies could be integrated through NUMA balancing-for example, migrating a task to its preferred LLC when spare capacity exists, or swapping tasks across LLCs to improve cache affinity. Grouping of tasks could also be generalized from that of a process to be that of a NUMA group, or be user configurable.

2026-04-05mm: introduce CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION and simplify CONFIG_MIGRATIONDavid Hildenbrand (Arm)
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, CONFIG_COMPACTION and CONFIG_CMA all select CONFIG_MIGRATION, because they require it to work (users). Only CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING and CONFIG_BALLOON_MIGRATION depend on CONFIG_MIGRATION. CONFIG_BALLOON_MIGRATION is not an actual user, but an implementation of migration support, so the dependency is correct (CONFIG_BALLOON_MIGRATION does not make any sense without CONFIG_MIGRATION). However, kconfig-language.rst clearly states "In general use select only for non-visible symbols". So far CONFIG_MIGRATION is user-visible ... and the dependencies rather confusing. The whole reason why CONFIG_MIGRATION is user-visible is because of CONFIG_NUMA: some users might want CONFIG_NUMA but not page migration support. Let's clean all that up by introducing a dedicated CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION config option for that purpose only. Make CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING that so far depended on CONFIG_NUMA && CONFIG_MIGRATION to depend on CONFIG_MIGRATION instead. CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION will depend on CONFIG_NUMA && CONFIG_MMU. CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION is user-visible and will default to "y". We use that default so new configs will automatically enable it, just like it was the case with CONFIG_MIGRATION. The downside is that some configs that used to have CONFIG_MIGRATION=n might get it re-enabled by CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION=y, which shouldn't be a problem. CONFIG_MIGRATION is now a non-visible config option. Any code that select CONFIG_MIGRATION (as before) must depend directly or indirectly on CONFIG_MMU. CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION is responsible for any NUMA migration code, which is mempolicy migration code, memory-tiering code, and move_pages() code in migrate.c. CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING uses its functionality. Note that this implies that with CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION=n, move_pages() will not be available even though CONFIG_MIGRATION=y, which is an expected change.

2026-03-30kbuild: rust: add `CONFIG_RUSTC_CLANG_LLVM_COMPATIBLE`Gary Guo
This config detects if Rust and Clang have matching LLVM major version. All IR or bitcode operations (e.g. LTO) rely on LLVM major version to be matching, otherwise it may generate errors, or worse, miscompile silently due to change of IR semantics. It's usually suggested to use the exact same LLVM version, but this can be difficult to guarantee. Rust's suggestion [1] is also major-version only, so I think this check is sufficient for the kernel.

2026-03-26timens: Remove dependency on the vDSOThomas Weißschuh
Previously, missing time namespace support in the vDSO meant that time namespaces needed to be disabled globally. This was expressed in a hard dependency on the generic vDSO library. This also meant that architectures without any vDSO or only a stub vDSO could not enable time namespaces. Now that all architectures using a real vDSO are using the generic library, that dependency is not necessary anymore. Remove the dependency and let all architectures enable time namespaces.

2026-03-22sched_ext: Fix build errors and unused label warning in non-cgroup configsCheng-Yang Chou
When building with SCHED_CLASS_EXT=y but CGROUPS=n, clang reports errors for undeclared cgroup_put() and cgroup_get() calls, and a warning for the unused err_stop_helper label. EXT_SUB_SCHED is def_bool y depending only on SCHED_CLASS_EXT, but it fundamentally requires cgroups (cgroup_path, cgroup_get, cgroup_put, cgroup_id, etc.). Add the missing CGROUPS dependency to EXT_SUB_SCHED in init/Kconfig. Guard cgroup_put() and cgroup_get() in the common paths with: #if defined(CONFIG_EXT_GROUP_SCHED) || defined(CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED) Guard the err_stop_helper label with #ifdef CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED since all gotos targeting it are inside that same ifdef block. Tested with both CGROUPS enabled and disabled.

2026-03-20init/Kconfig: Require a release version of clang-22 for CC_HAS_COUNTED_BY_PTRNathan Chancellor
Commit 150a04d817d8 ("compiler_types.h: Attributes: Add __counted_by_ptr macro") used Clang 22.0.0 as a minimum supported version for __counted_by_ptr, which made sense while 22.0.0 was the version of LLVM's main branch to allow developers to easily test and develop uses of __counted_by_ptr in their code. However, __counted_by_ptr requires a change [1] merged towards the end of the 22 development cycle to avoid errors when applied to void pointers. In file included from fs/xfs/xfs_attr_inactive.c:18: fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.h:59:2: error: 'counted_by' cannot be applied to a pointer with pointee of unknown size because 'void' is an incomplete type 59 | void *buffer __counted_by_ptr(bufsize); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is disruptive for deployed prerelease clang-22 builds (such as Android LLVM) or when bisecting between llvmorg-21-init and the fix.

2026-03-12kbuild: Use '-fms-anonymous-structs' if it is availableNathan Chancellor
Clang recently added '-fms-anonymous-structs' [1] to specifically enable the Microsoft tagged anonymous structure / union extension, for which the kernel added '-fms-extensions' in commit c4781dc3d1cf ("Kbuild: enable -fms-extensions"). Switch to this more narrow option if it is available, which would have helped avoid the issue addressed by commit a6773e6932cb ("jfs: Rename _inline to avoid conflict with clang's '-fms-extensions'"). GCC has talked about adding a similar flag [2] as well but potentially naming it differently. Move the selection of the flag to Kconfig to make it easier to use cc-option (as CC_FLAGS_DIALECT may be used in arch Makefiles, which may be too early for cc-option in Kbuild) and customize based on compiler flag names.

2026-03-06sched_ext: Introduce cgroup sub-sched supportTejun Heo
A system often runs multiple workloads especially in multi-tenant server environments where a system is split into partitions servicing separate more-or-less independent workloads each requiring an application-specific scheduler. To support such and other use cases, sched_ext is in the process of growing multiple scheduler support. When partitioning a system in terms of CPUs for such use cases, an oft-taken approach is hard partitioning the system using cpuset. While it would be possible to tie sched_ext multiple scheduler support to cpuset partitions, such an approach would have fundamental limitations stemming from the lack of dynamism and flexibility. Users often don't care which specific CPUs are assigned to which workload and want to take advantage of optimizations which are enabled by running workloads on a larger machine - e.g. opportunistic over-commit, improving latency critical workload characteristics while maintaining bandwidth fairness, employing control mechanisms based on different criteria than on-CPU time for e.g. flexible memory bandwidth isolation, packing similar parts from different workloads on same L3s to improve cache efficiency, and so on. As this sort of dynamic behaviors are impossible or difficult to implement with hard partitioning, sched_ext is implementing cgroup sub-sched support where schedulers can be attached to the cgroup hierarchy and a parent scheduler is responsible for controlling the CPUs that each child can use at any given moment. This makes CPU distribution dynamically controlled by BPF allowing high flexibility. This patch adds the skeletal sched_ext cgroup sub-sched support: - sched_ext_ops.sub_cgroup_id and .sub_attach/detach() are added. Non-zero sub_cgroup_id indicates that the scheduler is to be attached to the identified cgroup. A sub-sched is attached to the cgroup iff the nearest ancestor scheduler implements .sub_attach() and grants the attachment. Max nesting depth is limited by SCX_SUB_MAX_DEPTH. - When a scheduler exits, all its descendant schedulers are exited together. Also, cgroup.scx_sched added which points to the effective scheduler instance for the cgroup. This is updated on scheduler init/exit and inherited on cgroup online. When a cgroup is offlined, the attached scheduler is automatically exited. - Sub-sched support is gated on CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED which is automatically enabled if both SCX and cgroups are enabled. Sub-sched support is not tied to the CPU controller but rather the cgroup hierarchy itself. This is intentional as the support for cpu.weight and cpu.max based resource control is orthogonal to sub-sched support. Note that CONFIG_CGROUPS around cgroup subtree iteration support for scx_task_iter is replaced with CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED for consistency. - This allows loading sub-scheds and most framework operations such as propagating disable down the hierarchy work. However, sub-scheds are not operational yet and all tasks stay with the root sched. This will serve as the basis for building up full sub-sched support. - DSQs point to the scx_sched they belong to. - scx_qmap is updated to allow attachment of sub-scheds and also serving as sub-scheds. - scx_is_descendant() is added but not yet used in this patch. It is used by later changes in the series and placed here as this is where the function belongs. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Andrea Righi <arighi@nvidia.com>

Commit d39a1d7486d9 ("compiler_types: Disable __builtin_counted_by_ref for Clang") used 22.0.0 as the fixed version for a compiler crash but the fix was only merged in main (23.0.0) and release/22.x (22.1.0). With the current fixed version number, prerelease or Android LLVM 22 builds will still be able to hit the compiler crash when building the kernel. This can be particularly disruptive when bisecting LLVM. Use 21.1.0 as the fixed version number to ensure the fix for this crash is always present.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker: "The kthread code provides an infrastructure which manages the preferred affinity of unbound kthreads (node or custom cpumask) against housekeeping (CPU isolation) constraints and CPU hotplug events. One crucial missing piece is the handling of cpuset: when an isolated partition is created, deleted, or its CPUs updated, all the unbound kthreads in the top cpuset become indifferently affine to _all_ the non-isolated CPUs, possibly breaking their preferred affinity along the way. Solve this with performing the kthreads affinity update from cpuset to the kthreads consolidated relevant code instead so that preferred affinities are honoured and applied against the updated cpuset isolated partitions. The dispatch of the new isolated cpumasks to timers, workqueues and kthreads is performed by housekeeping, as per the nice Tejun's suggestion. As a welcome side effect, HK_TYPE_DOMAIN then integrates both the set from boot defined domain isolation (through isolcpus=) and cpuset isolated partitions. Housekeeping cpumasks are now modifiable with a specific RCU based synchronization.

2026-02-03cpuset: Propagate cpuset isolation update to workqueue through housekeepingFrederic Weisbecker
Until now, cpuset would propagate isolated partition changes to workqueues so that unbound workers get properly reaffined. Since housekeeping now centralizes, synchronize and propagates isolation cpumask changes, perform the work from that subsystem for consolidation and consistency purposes. For simplification purpose, the target function is adapted to take the new housekeeping mask instead of the isolated mask.

2026-01-17compiler_types.h: Attributes: Add __counted_by_ptr macroBill Wendling
Introduce __counted_by_ptr(), which works like __counted_by(), but for pointer struct members. struct foo { int a, b, c; char *buffer __counted_by_ptr(bytes); short nr_bars; struct bar *bars __counted_by_ptr(nr_bars); size_t bytes; }; Because "counted_by" can only be applied to pointer members in very recent compiler versions, its application ends up needing to be distinct from flexibe array "counted_by" annotations, hence a separate macro. This is a reworking of Kees' previous patch [1].

2026-01-16kbuild: uapi: drop dependency on CC_CAN_LINKThomas Weißschuh
The header tests try to compile each header. Some UAPI headers depend on libc headers so they need a full userspace toolchain to build. This dependency is expressed in kconfig as a dependency on CC_CAN_LINK. Many kernel builds do not satisfy CC_CAN_LINK as they only use a minimal kernel (cross-) compiler. In those configurations the UAPI headers are not tested at all. However most UAPI headers do not even depend on any libc headers, and such dependencies are undesired in any case. Also the static analysis performed by headers_check.pl does not need CC_CAN_LINK. Drop the hard dependency on CC_CAN_LINK and instead skip the affected compilation step for exactly those headers which require libc.

2025-12-19kbuild: Sync kconfig when PAHOLE_VERSION changesIhor Solodrai
This patch implements kconfig re-sync when the pahole version changes between builds, similar to how it happens for compiler version change via CC_VERSION_TEXT. Define PAHOLE_VERSION in the top-level Makefile and export it for config builds. Set CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION default to the exported variable. Kconfig records the PAHOLE_VERSION value in include/config/auto.conf.cmd [1]. The Makefile includes auto.conf.cmd, so if PAHOLE_VERSION changes between builds, make detects a dependency change and triggers syncconfig to update the kconfig [2]. For external module builds, add a warning message in the prepare target, similar to the existing compiler version mismatch warning. Note that if pahole is not installed or available, PAHOLE_VERSION is set to 0 by pahole-version.sh, so the (un)installation of pahole is treated as a version change. See previous discussions for context [3].

2025-12-17perf: Add APIs to create/release mediated guest vPMUsKan Liang
Currently, exposing PMU capabilities to a KVM guest is done by emulating guest PMCs via host perf events, i.e. by having KVM be "just" another user of perf. As a result, the guest and host are effectively competing for resources, and emulating guest accesses to vPMU resources requires expensive actions (expensive relative to the native instruction). The overhead and resource competition results in degraded guest performance and ultimately very poor vPMU accuracy. To address the issues with the perf-emulated vPMU, introduce a "mediated vPMU", where the data plane (PMCs and enable/disable knobs) is exposed directly to the guest, but the control plane (event selectors and access to fixed counters) is managed by KVM (via MSR interceptions). To allow host perf usage of the PMU to (partially) co-exist with KVM/guest usage of the PMU, KVM and perf will coordinate to a world switch between host perf context and guest vPMU context near VM-Enter/VM-Exit. Add two exported APIs, perf_{create,release}_mediated_pmu(), to allow KVM to create and release a mediated PMU instance (per VM). Because host perf context will be deactivated while the guest is running, mediated PMU usage will be mutually exclusive with perf analysis of the guest, i.e. perf events that do NOT exclude the guest will not behave as expected. To avoid silent failure of !exclude_guest perf events, disallow creating a mediated PMU if there are active !exclude_guest events, and on the perf side, disallowing creating new !exclude_guest perf events while there is at least one active mediated PMU. Exempt PMU resources that do not support mediated PMU usage, i.e. that are outside the scope/view of KVM's vPMU and will not be swapped out while the guest is running. Guard mediated PMU with a new kconfig to help readers identify code paths that are unique to mediated PMU support, and to allow for adding arch- specific hooks without stubs. KVM x86 is expected to be the only KVM architecture to support a mediated PMU in the near future (e.g. arm64 is trending toward a partitioned PMU implementation), and KVM x86 will select PERF_GUEST_MEDIATED_PMU unconditionally, i.e. won't need stubs. Immediately select PERF_GUEST_MEDIATED_PMU when KVM x86 is enabled so that all paths are compile tested. Full KVM support is on its way...

Quoting the cover letter: This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory, devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition. As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in RAM across the kexec reboot.
