Summary of significant series in this pull request:
- The 3 patch series "mm, swap: improve cluster scan strategy" from Kairui Song improves performance and reduces the failure rate of swap cluster allocation. - The 4 patch series "support large align and nid in Rust allocators" from Vitaly Wool permits Rust allocators to set NUMA node and large alignment when perforning slub and vmalloc reallocs. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/vaddr: support stat-purpose DAMOS" from Yueyang Pan extend DAMOS_STAT's handling of the DAMON operations sets for virtual address spaces for ops-level DAMOS filters. - The 3 patch series "execute PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl under per-vma lock" from Suren Baghdasaryan reduces mmap_lock contention during reads of /proc/pid/maps. - The 2 patch series "mm/mincore: minor clean up for swap cache checking" from Kairui Song performs some cleanup in the swap code. - The 11 patch series "mm: vm_normal_page*() improvements" from David Hildenbrand provides code cleanup in the pagemap code. - The 5 patch series "add persistent huge zero folio support" from Pankaj Raghav provides a block layer speedup by optionalls making the huge_zero_pagepersistent, instead of releasing it when its refcount falls to zero. - The 3 patch series "kho: fixes and cleanups" from Mike Rapoport adds a few touchups to the recently added Kexec Handover feature. - The 10 patch series "mm: make mm->flags a bitmap and 64-bit on all arches" from Lorenzo Stoakes turns mm_struct.flags into a bitmap. To end the constant struggle with space shortage on 32-bit conflicting with 64-bit's needs. - The 2 patch series "mm/swapfile.c and swap.h cleanup" from Chris Li cleans up some swap code. - The 7 patch series "selftests/mm: Fix false positives and skip unsupported tests" from Donet Tom fixes a few things in our selftests code. - The 7 patch series "prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to only provide THPs when advised" from David Hildenbrand "allows individual processes to opt-out of THP=always into THP=madvise, without affecting other workloads on the system". It's a long story - the [1/N] changelog spells out the considerations. - The 11 patch series "Add and use memdesc_flags_t" from Matthew Wilcox gets us started on the memdesc project. Please see https://kernelnewbies.org/MatthewWilcox/Memdescs and https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/introducing-memdesc. - The 3 patch series "Tiny optimization for large read operations" from Chi Zhiling improves the efficiency of the pagecache read path. - The 5 patch series "Better split_huge_page_test result check" from Zi Yan improves our folio splitting selftest code. - The 2 patch series "test that rmap behaves as expected" from Wei Yang adds some rmap selftests. - The 3 patch series "remove write_cache_pages()" from Christoph Hellwig removes that function and converts its two remaining callers. - The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: uffd-stress fixes" from Dev Jain fixes some UFFD selftests issues. - The 3 patch series "introduce kernel file mapped folios" from Boris Burkov introduces the concept of "kernel file pages". Using these permits btrfs to account its metadata pages to the root cgroup, rather than to the cgroups of random inappropriate tasks. - The 2 patch series "mm/pageblock: improve readability of some pageblock handling" from Wei Yang provides some readability improvements to the page allocator code. - The 11 patch series "mm/damon: support ARM32 with LPAE" from SeongJae Park teaches DAMON to understand arm32 highmem. - The 4 patch series "tools: testing: Use existing atomic.h for vma/maple tests" from Brendan Jackman performs some code cleanups and deduplication under tools/testing/. - The 2 patch series "maple_tree: Fix testing for 32bit compiles" from Liam Howlett fixes a couple of 32-bit issues in tools/testing/radix-tree.c. - The 2 patch series "kasan: unify kasan_enabled() and remove arch-specific implementations" from Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov moves KASAN arch-specific initialization code into a common arch-neutral implementation. - The 3 patch series "mm: remove zpool" from Johannes Weiner removes zspool - an indirection layer which now only redirects to a single thing (zsmalloc). - The 2 patch series "mm: task_stack: Stack handling cleanups" from Pasha Tatashin makes a couple of cleanups in the fork code. - The 37 patch series "mm: remove nth_page()" from David Hildenbrand makes rather a lot of adjustments at various nth_page() callsites, eventually permitting the removal of that undesirable helper function. - The 2 patch series "introduce kasan.write_only option in hw-tags" from Yeoreum Yun creates a KASAN read-only mode for ARM, using that architecture's memory tagging feature. It is felt that a read-only mode KASAN is suitable for use in production systems rather than debug-only. - The 3 patch series "mm: hugetlb: cleanup hugetlb folio allocation" from Kefeng Wang does some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code. - The 12 patch series "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer parameters" from Max Kellermann makes quite a number of the MM API functions more accurate about the constness of their arguments. This was getting in the way of subsystems (in this case CEPH) when they attempt to improving their own const/non-const accuracy. - The 7 patch series "Cleanup free_pages() misuse" from Vishal Moola fixes a number of code sites which were confused over when to use free_pages() vs __free_pages(). - The 3 patch series "Add Rust abstraction for Maple Trees" from Alice Ryhl makes the mapletree code accessible to Rust. Required by nouveau and by its forthcoming successor: the new Rust Nova driver. - The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: split_huge_page_test: split_pte_mapped_thp improvements" from David Hildenbrand adds a fix and some cleanups to the thp selftesting code. - The 14 patch series "mm, swap: introduce swap table as swap cache (phase I)" from Chris Li and Kairui Song is the first step along the path to implementing "swap tables" - a new approach to swap allocation and state tracking which is expected to yield speed and space improvements. This patchset itself yields a 5-20% performance benefit in some situations. - The 3 patch series "Some ptdesc cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox utilizes the new memdesc layer to clean up the ptdesc code a little. - The 3 patch series "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure" from Chunyu Hu fixes some issues in our 5-level pagetable selftesting code. - The 2 patch series "Minor fixes for memory allocation profiling" from Suren Baghdasaryan addresses a couple of minor issues in relatively new memory allocation profiling feature. - The 3 patch series "Small cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox has a few cleanups in preparation for more memdesc work. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: add addr_unit for DAMON_LRU_SORT and DAMON_RECLAIM" from Quanmin Yan makes some changes to DAMON in furtherance of supporting arm highmem. - The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: Add -Wunreachable-code and fix warnings" from Muhammad Anjum adds that compiler check to selftests code and fixes the fallout, by removing dead code. - The 10 patch series "Improvements to Victim Process Thawing and OOM Reaper Traversal Order" from zhongjinji makes a number of improvements in the OOM killer: mainly thawing a more appropriate group of victim threads so they can release resources. - The 5 patch series "mm/damon: misc fixups and improvements for 6.18" from SeongJae Park is a bunch of small and unrelated fixups for DAMON. - The 7 patch series "mm/damon: define and use DAMON initialization check function" from SeongJae Park implement reliability and maintainability improvements to a recently-added bug fix. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/stat: expose auto-tuned intervals and non-idle ages" from SeongJae Park provides additional transparency to userspace clients of the DAMON_STAT information. - The 2 patch series "Expand scope of khugepaged anonymous collapse" from Dev Jain removes some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of anon VMAs. It also increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against an anon vma. - The 2 patch series "mm: do not assume file == vma->vm_file in compat_vma_mmap_prepare()" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards removal of file_operations.mmap(). This patchset concentrates upon clearing up the treatment of stacked filesystems. - The 6 patch series "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from Kiryl Shutsemau provides some fixes and improvements to mlock's tracking of large folios. /proc/meminfo's "Mlocked" field became more accurate. - The 2 patch series "mm/ksm: Fix incorrect accounting of KSM counters during fork" from Donet Tom fixes several user-visible KSM stats inaccuracies across forks and adds selftest code to verify these counters. - The 2 patch series "mm_slot: fix the usage of mm_slot_entry" from Wei Yang addresses some potential but presently benign issues in KSM's mm_slot handling. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCaN3cywAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA jtaPAQDmIuIu7+XnVUK5V11hsQ/5QtsUeLHV3OsAn4yW5/3dEQD/UddRU08ePN+1 2VRB0EwkLAdfMWW7TfiNZ+yhuoiL/AA= =4mhY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-stable-2025-10-01-19-00' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "mm, swap: improve cluster scan strategy" from Kairui Song improves performance and reduces the failure rate of swap cluster allocation - "support large align and nid in Rust allocators" from Vitaly Wool permits Rust allocators to set NUMA node and large alignment when perforning slub and vmalloc reallocs - "mm/damon/vaddr: support stat-purpose DAMOS" from Yueyang Pan extend DAMOS_STAT's handling of the DAMON operations sets for virtual address spaces for ops-level DAMOS filters - "execute PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl under per-vma lock" from Suren Baghdasaryan reduces mmap_lock contention during reads of /proc/pid/maps - "mm/mincore: minor clean up for swap cache checking" from Kairui Song performs some cleanup in the swap code - "mm: vm_normal_page*() improvements" from David Hildenbrand provides code cleanup in the pagemap code - "add persistent huge zero folio support" from Pankaj Raghav provides a block layer speedup by optionalls making the huge_zero_pagepersistent, instead of releasing it when its refcount falls to zero - "kho: fixes and cleanups" from Mike Rapoport adds a few touchups to the recently added Kexec Handover feature - "mm: make mm->flags a bitmap and 64-bit on all arches" from Lorenzo Stoakes turns mm_struct.flags into a bitmap.

Performance events updates for v6.18:
Core perf code updates:
- Convert mmap() related reference counts to refcount_t. This
is in reaction to the recently fixed refcount bugs, which
could have been detected earlier and could have mitigated
the bug somewhat. (Thomas Gleixner, Peter Zijlstra)
- Clean up and simplify the callchain code, in preparation
for sframes. (Steven Rostedt, Josh Poimboeuf)
Uprobes updates:
- Add support to optimize usdt probes on x86-64, which
gives a substantial speedup. (Jiri Olsa)
- Cleanups and fixes on x86 (Peter Zijlstra)
PMU driver updates:
- Various optimizations and fixes to the Intel PMU driver
(Dapeng Mi)
Misc cleanups and fixes:
- Remove redundant __GFP_NOWARN (Qianfeng Rong)

futex: Use correct exit on failure from futex_hash_allocate_default()
copy_process() uses the wrong error exit path from futex_hash_allocate_default().
After exiting from futex_hash_allocate_default(), neither tasklist_lock
nor siglock has been acquired. The exit label bad_fork_core_free unlocks
both of these locks which is wrong.
The next exit label, bad_fork_cancel_cgroup, is the correct exit.
sched_cgroup_fork() did not allocate any resources that need to freed.
Use bad_fork_cancel_cgroup on error exit from futex_hash_allocate_default().

fork: check charging success before zeroing stack
Patch series "mm: task_stack: Stack handling cleanups". These are some small cleanups for the fork code that was split off from Pasha:s dynamic stack patch series, they are generally nice on their own so let's propose them for merging. This patch (of 2): No need to do zero cached stack if memcg charge fails, so move the charging attempt before the memset operation.

fork: kill the pointless lower_32_bits() in create_io_thread(), kernel_thread(), and user_mode_thread()
Unlike sys_clone(), these helpers have only in kernel users which should pass the correct "flags" argument. lower_32_bits(flags) just adds the unnecessary confusion and doesn't allow to use the CLONE_ flags which don't fit into 32 bits. create_io_thread() looks especially confusing because: - "flags" is a compile-time constant, so lower_32_bits() simply has no effect - .exit_signal = (lower_32_bits(flags) & CSIGNAL) is harmless but doesn't look right, copy_process(CLONE_THREAD) will ignore this argument anyway. None of these helpers actually need CLONE_UNTRACED or "& ~CSIGNAL", but their presence does not add any confusion and improves code clarity.

mm: update fork mm->flags initialisation to use bitmap
We now need to account for flag initialisation on fork. We retain the existing logic as much as we can, but dub the existing flag mask legacy. These flags are therefore required to fit in the first 32-bits of the flags field. However, further flag propagation upon fork can be implemented in mm_init() on a per-flag basis. We ensure we clear the entire bitmap prior to setting it, and use __mm_flags_get_word() and __mm_flags_set_word() to manipulate these legacy fields efficiently.

cgroup: replace global percpu_rwsem with per threadgroup resem when writing to cgroup.procs
The static usage pattern of creating a cgroup, enabling controllers,
and then seeding it with CLONE_INTO_CGROUP doesn't require write
locking cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem and thus doesn't benefit from this
patch.
To avoid affecting other users, the per threadgroup rwsem is only used
when the favordynmods is enabled.
As computer hardware advances, modern systems are typically equipped
with many CPU cores and large amounts of memory, enabling the deployment
of numerous applications. On such systems, container creation and
deletion become frequent operations, making cgroup process migration no
longer a cold path. This leads to noticeable contention with common
process operations such as fork, exec, and exit.
To alleviate the contention between cgroup process migration and
operations like process fork, this patch modifies lock to take the write
lock on signal_struct->group_rwsem when writing pid to
cgroup.procs/threads instead of holding a global write lock.
Cgroup process migration has historically relied on
signal_struct->group_rwsem to protect thread group integrity. In commit
<1ed1328792ff> ("sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with
a global percpu_rwsem"), this was changed to a global
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem. The advantage of using a global lock was
simplified handling of process group migrations. This patch retains the
use of the global lock for protecting process group migration, while
reducing contention by using per thread group lock during
cgroup.procs/threads writes.
The locking behavior is as follows:
write cgroup.procs/threads | process fork,exec,exit | process group migration
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cgroup_lock() | down_read(&g_rwsem) | cgroup_lock()
down_write(&p_rwsem) | down_read(&p_rwsem) | down_write(&g_rwsem)
critical section | critical section | critical section
up_write(&p_rwsem) | up_read(&p_rwsem) | up_write(&g_rwsem)
cgroup_unlock() | up_read(&g_rwsem) | cgroup_unlock()
g_rwsem denotes cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem, p_rwsem denotes
signal_struct->group_rwsem.
This patch eliminates contention between cgroup migration and fork
operations for threads that belong to different thread groups, thereby
reducing the long-tail latency of cgroup migrations and lowering system
load.
With this patch, under heavy fork and exec interference, the long-tail
latency of cgroup migration has been reduced from milliseconds to
microseconds. Under heavy cgroup migration interference, the multi-CPU
score of the spawn test case in UnixBench increased by 9%.

futex: Move futex_hash_free() back to __mmput()
To avoid a memory leak via mm_alloc() + mmdrop() the futex cleanup code
has been moved to __mmdrop(). This resulted in a warnings if the futex
hash table has been allocated via vmalloc() the mmdrop() was invoked
from atomic context.
The free path must stay in __mmput() to ensure it is invoked from
preemptible context.
In order to avoid the memory leak, delay the allocation of
mm_struct::mm->futex_ref to futex_hash_allocate(). This works because
neither the per-CPU counter nor the private hash has been allocated and
therefore
- futex_private_hash() callers (such as exit_pi_state_list()) don't
acquire reference if there is no private hash yet. There is also no
reference put.
- Regular callers (futex_hash()) fallback to global hash. No reference
counting here.
The futex_ref member can be allocated in futex_hash_allocate() before
the private hash itself is allocated. This happens either while the
first thread is created or on request. In both cases the process has
just a single thread so there can be either futex operation in progress
or the request to create a private hash.
Move futex_hash_free() back to __mmput();
Move the allocation of mm_struct::futex_ref to futex_hash_allocate().

uprobes/x86: Add mapping for optimized uprobe trampolines
Adding support to add special mapping for user space trampoline with following functions: uprobe_trampoline_get - find or add uprobe_trampoline uprobe_trampoline_put - remove or destroy uprobe_trampoline The user space trampoline is exported as arch specific user space special mapping through tramp_mapping, which is initialized in following changes with new uprobe syscall. The uprobe trampoline needs to be callable/reachable from the probed address, so while searching for available address we use is_reachable_by_call function to decide if the uprobe trampoline is callable from the probe address. All uprobe_trampoline objects are stored in uprobes_state object and are cleaned up when the process mm_struct goes down. Adding new arch hooks for that, because this change is x86_64 specific. Locking is provided by callers in following changes.

Significant patch series in this pull request:
- The 2 patch series "squashfs: Remove page->mapping references" from
Matthew Wilcox gets us closer to being able to remove page->mapping.
- The 5 patch series "relayfs: misc changes" from Jason Xing does some
maintenance and minor feature addition work in relayfs.
- The 5 patch series "kdump: crashkernel reservation from CMA" from Jiri
Bohac switches us from static preallocation of the kdump crashkernel's
working memory over to dynamic allocation. So the difficulty of
a-priori estimation of the second kernel's needs is removed and the
first kernel obtains extra memory.
- The 5 patch series "generalize panic_print's dump function to be used
by other kernel parts" from Feng Tang implements some consolidation and
rationalizatio of the various ways in which a faiing kernel splats
information at the operator.

futex: Move futex cleanup to __mmdrop()
Futex hash allocations are done in mm_init() and the cleanup happens in
__mmput(). That works most of the time, but there are mm instances which
are instantiated via mm_alloc() and freed via mmdrop(), which causes the
futex hash to be leaked.
Move the cleanup to __mmdrop().

Deferred unwind changes for 6.17
This is the core infrastructure for the deferred unwinder that is required for sframes[1]. Several other patch series is based on this work although those patch series are not dependent on each other. In order to simplify the development, having this core series upstream will allow the other series to be worked on in parallel. The other series are: - The two patches to implement x86: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20250717004958.260781923@kernel.org/ https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20250717004958.432327787@kernel.org/ - The s390 work: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20250710163522.3195293-1-jremus@linux.ibm.com/ - The perf work: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20250718164119.089692174@kernel.org/ - The ftrace work: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20250424192612.505622711@goodmis.org/ - The sframe work: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20250717012848.927473176@kernel.org/ And more is on the way. The core infrastructure adds the following in kernel APIs: - int unwind_user_faultable(struct unwind_stacktrace *trace); Performs a user space stack trace that may fault user pages in. - int unwind_deferred_init(struct unwind_work *work, unwind_callback_t func); Allows a tracer to register with the unwind deferred infrastructure. - int unwind_deferred_request(struct unwind_work *work, u64 *cookie); Used when a tracer request a deferred trace.

Runtime verification changes for 6.17
- Added Linear temporal logic monitors for RT application
Real-time applications may have design flaws causing them to have
unexpected latency. For example, the applications may raise page faults, or
may be blocked trying to take a mutex without priority inheritance.
However, while attempting to implement DA monitors for these real-time
rules, deterministic automaton is found to be inappropriate as the
specification language. The automaton is complicated, hard to understand,
and error-prone.
For these cases, linear temporal logic is found to be more suitable. The
LTL is more concise and intuitive.
- Make printk_deferred() public
The new monitors needed access to printk_deferred(). Make them visible for
the entire kernel.
- Add a vpanic() to allow for va_list to be passed to panic.
- Add rtapp container monitor.
A collection of monitors that check for common problems with real-time
applications that cause unexpected latency.
- Add page fault tracepoints to risc-v
These tracepoints are necessary to for the RV monitor to run on risc-v.
- Fix the behaviour of the rv tool with -s and idle tasks.
- Allow the rv tool to gracefully terminate with SIGTERM
- Adjusts dot2c not to create lines over 100 columns
- Properly order nested monitors in the RV Kconfig file
- Return the registration error in all DA monitor instead of 0
- Update and add new sched collection monitors
Replace tss and sncid monitors with more complete sts:
Not only prove that switches occur in scheduling context and scheduling
needs interrupt disabled but also that each call to the scheduler
disables interrupts to (optionally) switch.
New monitor: nrp
Preemption requires need resched which is cleared by any switch
(includes a non optimal workaround for /nested/ preemptions)
New monitor: sssw
suspension requires setting the task to sleepable and, after the
switch occurs, the task requires a wakeup to come back to runnable
New monitor: opid
waking and need-resched operations occur with interrupts and
preemption disabled or in IRQ without explicitly disabling preemption

Summary
* Move sysctls out of the kern_table array
This is the final move of ctl_tables into their respective subsystems. Only 5
(out of the original 50) will remain in kernel/sysctl.c file; these handle
either sysctl or common arch variables.
By decentralizing sysctl registrations, subsystem maintainers regain control
over their sysctl interfaces, improving maintainability and reducing the
likelihood of merge conflicts.
* docs: Remove false positives from check-sysctl-docs
Stopped falsely identifying sysctls as undocumented or unimplemented in the
check-sysctl-docs script. This script can now be used to automatically
identify if documentation is missing.
* Testing
All these have been in linux-next since rc3, giving them a solid 3 to 4 weeks
worth of testing. Additionally, sysctl selftests and kunit were also run
locally on my x86_64

Scheduler updates for v6.17:
Core scheduler changes:
- Better tracking of maximum lag of tasks in presence of different
slices duration, for better handling of lag in the fair
scheduler. (Vincent Guittot)
- Clean up and standardize #if/#else/#endif markers throughout
the entire scheduler code base (Ingo Molnar)
- Make SMP unconditional: build the SMP scheduler's
data structures and logic on UP kernel too, even though
they are not used, to simplify the scheduler and remove
around 200 #ifdef/[#else]/#endif blocks from the
scheduler. (Ingo Molnar)
- Reorganize cgroup bandwidth control interface handling
for better interfacing with sched_ext (Tejun Heo)
Balancing:
- Bump sd->max_newidle_lb_cost when newidle balance fails (Chris Mason)
- Remove sched_domain_topology_level::flags to simplify the code (Prateek Nayak)
- Simplify and clean up build_sched_topology() (Li Chen)
- Optimize build_sched_topology() on large machines (Li Chen)
Real-time scheduling:
- Add initial version of proxy execution: a mechanism for mutex-owning
tasks to inherit the scheduling context of higher priority waiters.
Currently limited to a single runqueue and conditional on CONFIG_EXPERT,
and other limitations. (John Stultz, Peter Zijlstra, Valentin Schneider)
- Deadline scheduler (Juri Lelli):
- Fix dl_servers initialization order (Juri Lelli)
- Fix DL scheduler's root domain reinitialization logic (Juri Lelli)
- Fix accounting bugs after global limits change (Juri Lelli)
- Fix scalability regression by implementing less agressive dl_server handling
(Peter Zijlstra)
PSI:
- Improve scalability by optimizing psi_group_change() cpu_clock() usage
(Peter Zijlstra)
Rust changes:
- Make Task, CondVar and PollCondVar methods inline to avoid unnecessary
function calls (Kunwu Chan, Panagiotis Foliadis)
- Add might_sleep() support for Rust code: Rust's "#[track_caller]"
mechanism is used so that Rust's might_sleep() doesn't need to be
defined as a macro (Fujita Tomonori)
- Introduce file_from_location() (Boqun Feng)
Debugging & instrumentation:
- Make clangd usable with scheduler source code files again (Peter Zijlstra)
- tools: Add root_domains_dump.py which dumps root domains info (Juri Lelli)
- tools: Add dl_bw_dump.py for printing bandwidth accounting info (Juri Lelli)
Misc cleanups & fixes:
- Remove play_idle() (Feng Lee)
- Fix check_preemption_disabled() (Sebastian Andrzej Siewior)
- Do not call __put_task_struct() on RT if pi_blocked_on is set
(Luis Claudio R. Goncalves)
- Correct the comment in place_entity() (wang wei)

unwind_user/deferred: Add unwind_user_faultable()
Add a new API to retrieve a user space callstack called unwind_user_faultable(). The difference between this user space stack tracer from the current user space stack tracer is that this must be called from faultable context as it may use routines to access user space data that needs to be faulted in. It can be safely called from entering or exiting a system call as the code can still be faulted in there. This code is based on work by Josh Poimboeuf's deferred unwinding code: Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/6052e8487746603bdb29b65f4033e739092d9925.1737511963.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org/ Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Cc: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Cc: Indu Bhagat <indu.bhagat@oracle.com> Cc: "Jose E.

stackleak: Rename STACKLEAK to KSTACK_ERASE
In preparation for adding Clang sanitizer coverage stack depth tracking that can support stack depth callbacks: - Add the new top-level CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE option which will be implemented either with the stackleak GCC plugin, or with the Clang stack depth callback support. - Rename CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK as needed to CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE, but keep it for anything specific to the GCC plugin itself. - Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn. While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS, since that's the only place it is referenced from.

task

This all will be used for tracking blocked-task/mutex chains
with the prox-execution patch in a similar fashion to how
priority inheritance is done with rt_mutexes.
For serialization, blocked-on is only set by the task itself
(current). And both when setting or clearing (potentially by
others), is done while holding the mutex::wait_lock.

futex: Use RCU-based per-CPU reference counting instead of rcuref_t
The use of rcuref_t for reference counting introduces a performance bottleneck when accessed concurrently by multiple threads during futex operations. Replace rcuref_t with special crafted per-CPU reference counters. The lifetime logic remains the same. The newly allocate private hash starts in FR_PERCPU state. In this state, each futex operation that requires the private hash uses a per-CPU counter (an unsigned int) for incrementing or decrementing the reference count. When the private hash is about to be replaced, the per-CPU counters are migrated to a atomic_t counter mm_struct::futex_atomic. The migration process: - Waiting for one RCU grace period to ensure all users observe the current private hash. This can be skipped if a grace period elapsed since the private hash was assigned. - futex_private_hash::state is set to FR_ATOMIC, forcing all users to use mm_struct::futex_atomic for reference counting. - After a RCU grace period, all users are guaranteed to be using the atomic counter. The per-CPU counters can now be summed up and added to the atomic_t counter. If the resulting count is zero, the hash can be safely replaced. Otherwise, active users still hold a valid reference. - Once the atomic reference count drops to zero, the next futex operation will switch to the new private hash. call_rcu_hurry() is used to speed up transition which otherwise might be delay with RCU_LAZY. There is nothing wrong with using call_rcu(). The side effects would be that on auto scaling the new hash is used later and the SET_SLOTS prctl() will block longer.

fold fs_struct->{lock,seq} into a seqlock
The combination of spinlock_t lock and seqcount_spinlock_t seq in struct fs_struct is an open-coded seqlock_t (see linux/seqlock_types.h). Combine and switch to equivalent seqlock_t primitives. AFAICS, that does end up with the same sequence of underlying operations in all cases. While we are at it, get_fs_pwd() is open-coded verbatim in get_path_from_fd(); rather than applying conversion to it, replace with the call of get_fs_pwd() there. Not worth splitting the commit for that, IMO... A bit of historical background - conversion of seqlock_t to use of seqcount_spinlock_t happened several months after the same had been done to struct fs_struct; switching fs_struct to seqlock_t could've been done immediately after that, but it looks like nobody had gotten around to that until now.

- The 11 patch series "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox
simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide this. - The 8 patch series "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up and better prepare us for future work. - The 3 patch series "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory block size. - The 2 patch series "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's memory consumption was dramatic. - The 8 patch series "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to this part of our swap handling code. - The 6 patch series "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall arguments, and syscall return value. This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM" branch, but I goofed. - The 3 patch series "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get at the info about guard regions. - The 2 patch series "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error. - The 3 patch series "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of using more current facilities. - The 3 patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are enabled for ARM. - The 12 patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky "ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables". This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page tables". This change does result in various architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur. - The 9 patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures. - The 3 patch series "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've been missing for 15 years. - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries.

Pull pidfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Allow handing out pidfds for reaped tasks for AF_UNIX SO_PEERPIDFD
socket option
SO_PEERPIDFD is a socket option that allows to retrieve a pidfd for
the process that called connect() or listen(). This is heavily used
to safely authenticate clients in userspace avoiding security bugs
due to pid recycling races (dbus, polkit, systemd, etc.)
SO_PEERPIDFD currently doesn't support handing out pidfds if the
sk->sk_peer_pid thread-group leader has already been reaped. In
this case it currently returns EINVAL. Userspace still wants to get
a pidfd for a reaped process to have a stable handle it can pass
on. This is especially useful now that it is possible to retrieve
exit information through a pidfd via the PIDFD_GET_INFO ioctl()'s
PIDFD_INFO_EXIT flag
Another summary has been provided by David Rheinsberg:
> A pidfd can outlive the task it refers to, and thus user-space
> must already be prepared that the task underlying a pidfd is
> gone at the time they get their hands on the pidfd. For
> instance, resolving the pidfd to a PID via the fdinfo must be
> prepared to read `-1`.
>
> Despite user-space knowing that a pidfd might be stale, several
> kernel APIs currently add another layer that checks for this. In
> particular, SO_PEERPIDFD returns `EINVAL` if the peer-task was
> already reaped, but returns a stale pidfd if the task is reaped
> immediately after the respective alive-check.
>
> This has the unfortunate effect that user-space now has two ways
> to check for the exact same scenario: A syscall might return
> EINVAL/ESRCH/... *or* the pidfd might be stale, even though
> there is no particular reason to distinguish both cases. This
> also propagates through user-space APIs, which pass on pidfds.
> They must be prepared to pass on `-1` *or* the pidfd, because
> there is no guaranteed way to get a stale pidfd from the kernel.
>
> Userspace must already deal with a pidfd referring to a reaped
> task as the task may exit and get reaped at any time will there
> are still many pidfds referring to it
In order to allow handing out reaped pidfd SO_PEERPIDFD needs to
ensure that PIDFD_INFO_EXIT information is available whenever a
pidfd for a reaped task is created by PIDFD_INFO_EXIT. The uapi
promises that reaped pidfds are only handed out if it is guaranteed
that the caller sees the exit information:
TEST_F(pidfd_info, success_reaped)
{
struct pidfd_info info = {
.mask = PIDFD_INFO_CGROUPID | PIDFD_INFO_EXIT,
};
/*
* Process has already been reaped and PIDFD_INFO_EXIT been set.
* Verify that we can retrieve the exit status of the process.
*/
ASSERT_EQ(ioctl(self->child_pidfd4, PIDFD_GET_INFO, &info), 0);
ASSERT_FALSE(!!(info.mask & PIDFD_INFO_CREDS));
ASSERT_TRUE(!!(info.mask & PIDFD_INFO_EXIT));
ASSERT_TRUE(WIFEXITED(info.exit_code));
ASSERT_EQ(WEXITSTATUS(info.exit_code), 0);
}
To hand out pidfds for reaped processes we thus allocate a pidfs
entry for the relevant sk->sk_peer_pid at the time the
sk->sk_peer_pid is stashed and drop it when the socket is
destroyed. This guarantees that exit information will always be
recorded for the sk->sk_peer_pid task and we can hand out pidfds
for reaped processes
- Hand a pidfd to the coredump usermode helper process
Give userspace a way to instruct the kernel to install a pidfd for
the crashing process into the process started as a usermode helper.
There's still tricky race-windows that cannot be easily or
sometimes not closed at all by userspace. There's various ways like
looking at the start time of a process to make sure that the
usermode helper process is started after the crashing process but
it's all very very brittle and fraught with peril
The crashed-but-not-reaped process can be killed by userspace
before coredump processing programs like systemd-coredump have had
time to manually open a PIDFD from the PID the kernel provides
them, which means they can be tricked into reading from an
arbitrary process, and they run with full privileges as they are
usermode helper processes
Even if that specific race-window wouldn't exist it's still the
safest and cleanest way to let the kernel provide the pidfd
directly instead of requiring userspace to do it manually. In
parallel with this commit we already have systemd adding support
for this in [1]
When the usermode helper process is forked we install a pidfd file
descriptor three into the usermode helper's file descriptor table
so it's available to the exec'd program
Since usermode helpers are either children of the system_unbound_wq
workqueue or kthreadd we know that the file descriptor table is
empty and can thus always use three as the file descriptor number
Note, that we'll install a pidfd for the thread-group leader even
if a subthread is calling do_coredump(). We know that task linkage
hasn't been removed yet and even if this @current isn't the actual
thread-group leader we know that the thread-group leader cannot be
reaped until
@current has exited
- Allow telling when a task has not been found from finding the wrong
task when creating a pidfd
We currently report EINVAL whenever a struct pid has no tasked
attached anymore thereby conflating two concepts:
(1) The task has already been reaped
(2) The caller requested a pidfd for a thread-group leader but the
pid actually references a struct pid that isn't used as a
thread-group leader
This is causing issues for non-threaded workloads as in where they
expect ESRCH to be reported, not EINVAL
So allow userspace to reliably distinguish between (1) and (2)
- Make it possible to detect when a pidfs entry would outlive the
struct pid it pinned
- Add a range of new selftests
Cleanups:
- Remove unneeded NULL check from pidfd_prepare() for passed struct
pid
- Avoid pointless reference count bump during release_task()
Fixes:
- Various fixes to the pidfd and coredump selftests
- Fix error handling for replace_fd() when spawning coredump usermode

mm: perform VMA allocation, freeing, duplication in mm
Right now these are performed in kernel/fork.c which is odd and a violation of separation of concerns, as well as preventing us from integrating this and related logic into userland VMA testing going forward. There is a fly in the ointment - nommu - mmap.c is not compiled if CONFIG_MMU not set, and neither is vma.c. To square the circle, let's add a new file - vma_init.c. This will be compiled for both CONFIG_MMU and nommu builds, and will also form part of the VMA userland testing. This allows us to de-duplicate code, while maintaining separation of concerns and the ability for us to userland test this logic. Update the VMA userland tests accordingly, additionally adding a detach_free_vma() helper function to correctly detach VMAs before freeing them in test code, as this change was triggering the assert for this.

mm: move dup_mmap() to mm
This is a key step in our being able to abstract and isolate VMA allocation and destruction logic. This function is the last one where vm_area_free() and vm_area_dup() are directly referenced outside of mmap, so having this in mm allows us to isolate these. We do the same for the nommu version which is substantially simpler. We place the declaration for dup_mmap() in mm/internal.h and have kernel/fork.c import this in order to prevent improper use of this functionality elsewhere in the kernel. While we're here, we remove the useless #ifdef CONFIG_MMU check around mmap_read_lock_maybe_expand() in mmap.c, mmap.c is compiled only if CONFIG_MMU is set.

kernel/fork: only call untrack_pfn_clear() on VMAs duplicated for fork()
Not intuitive, but vm_area_dup() located in kernel/fork.c is not only used
for duplicating VMAs during fork(), but also for duplicating VMAs when
splitting VMAs or when mremap()'ing them.
VM_PFNMAP mappings can at least get ordinarily mremap()'ed (no change in
size) and apparently also shrunk during mremap(), which implies
duplicating the VMA in __split_vma() first.
In case of ordinary mremap() (no change in size), we first duplicate the
VMA in copy_vma_and_data()->copy_vma() to then call untrack_pfn_clear() on
the old VMA: we effectively move the VM_PAT reservation. So the
untrack_pfn_clear() call on the new VMA duplicating is wrong in that
context.
Splitting of VMAs seems problematic, because we don't duplicate/adjust the
reservation when splitting the VMA. Instead, in memtype_erase() -- called
during zapping/munmap -- we shrink a reservation in case only the end
address matches: Assume we split a VMA into A and B, both would share a
reservation until B is unmapped.
So when unmapping B, the reservation would be updated to cover only A.
When unmapping A, we would properly remove the now-shrunk reservation.
That scenario describes the mremap() shrinking (old_size > new_size),
where we split + unmap B, and the untrack_pfn_clear() on the new VMA when
is wrong.
What if we manage to split a VM_PFNMAP VMA into A and B and unmap A first?
It would be broken because we would never free the reservation. Likely,
there are ways to trigger such a VMA split outside of mremap().
Affecting other VMA duplication was not intended, vm_area_dup() being used
outside of kernel/fork.c was an oversight. So let's fix that for; how to
handle VMA splits better should be investigated separately.
With a simple reproducer that uses mprotect() to split such a VMA I can
trigger

futex: Allow automatic allocation of process wide futex hash
Allocate a private futex hash with 16 slots if a task forks its first thread. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250416162921.513656-14-bigeasy@linutronix.de |

futex: Add basic infrastructure for local task local hash
The futex hash is system wide and shared by all tasks. Each slot
is hashed based on futex address and the VMA of the thread. Due to
randomized VMAs (and memory allocations) the same logical lock (pointer)
can end up in a different hash bucket on each invocation of the
application. This in turn means that different applications may share a
hash bucket on the first invocation but not on the second and it is not
always clear which applications will be involved. This can result in
high latency's to acquire the futex_hash_bucket::lock especially if the
lock owner is limited to a CPU and can not be effectively PI boosted.
Introduce basic infrastructure for process local hash which is shared by
all threads of process. This hash will only be used for a
PROCESS_PRIVATE FUTEX operation.
The hashmap can be allocated via:
prctl(PR_FUTEX_HASH, PR_FUTEX_HASH_SET_SLOTS, num);
A `num' of 0 means that the global hash is used instead of a private
hash.
Other values for `num' specify the number of slots for the hash and the
number must be power of two, starting with two.
The prctl() returns zero on success. This function can only be used
before a thread is created.
The current status for the private hash can be queried via:
num = prctl(PR_FUTEX_HASH, PR_FUTEX_HASH_GET_SLOTS);
which return the current number of slots. The value 0 means that the
global hash is used. Values greater than 0 indicate the number of slots
that are used. A negative number indicates an error.
For optimisation, for the private hash jhash2() uses only two arguments
the address and the offset. This omits the VMA which is always the same.
[peterz: Use 0 for global hash. A bit shuffling and renaming. ]

pidfs: ensure consistent ENOENT/ESRCH reporting
In a prior patch series we tried to cleanly differentiate between:
(1) The task has already been reaped.
(2) The caller requested a pidfd for a thread-group leader but the pid
actually references a struct pid that isn't used as a thread-group
leader.
as this was causing issues for non-threaded workloads.
But there's cases where the current simple logic is wrong. Specifically,
if the pid was a leader pid and the check races with __unhash_process().
Stabilize this by using the pidfd waitqueue lock.

pidfd: improve uapi when task isn't found
We currently report EINVAL whenever a struct pid has no tasked attached
anymore thereby conflating two concepts:
(1) The task has already been reaped.
(2) The caller requested a pidfd for a thread-group leader but the pid
actually references a struct pid that isn't used as a thread-group
leader.
This is causing issues for non-threaded workloads as in [1].
This patch tries to allow userspace to distinguish between (1) and (2).
This is racy of course but that shouldn't matter.
