The threat-model document says that only users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can carry
out a number of admin-level tasks, but there are numerous capabilities that
can confer that sort of power. Generalize the text slightly to make it
clear that CAP_SYS_ADMIN is not the only all-powerful capability.

AI tools are increasingly used to assist in bug discovery. While these
tools can identify valid issues, reports that are submitted without
manual verification often lack context, contain speculative impact
assessments, or include unnecessary formatting. Such reports increase
triage effort, waste maintainers' time and may be ignored.
Reports where the reporter has verified the issue and the proposed fix
typically meet quality standards. This documentation outlines specific
requirements for length, formatting, and impact evaluation to reduce
the effort needed to deal with these reports.

The use of automated tools to find bugs in random locations of the kernel
induces a raise of security reports even if most of them should just be
reported as regular bugs. This patch is an attempt at drawing a line
between what qualifies as a security bug and what does not, hoping to
improve the situation and ease decision on the reporter's side.
It defers the enumeration to a new file, threat-model.rst, that tries
to enumerate various classes of issues that are and are not security
bugs. This should permit to more easily update this file for various
subsystem-specific rules without having to revisit the security bug
reporting guide.

With the increase of automated reports, the security team is dealing
with way more messages than really needed. The reporting process works
well with most teams so there is no need to systematically involve the
security team in reports.
Let's suggest to keep it for small lists of recipients and new reporters
only. This should continue to cover the risk of lost messages while
reducing the volume from prolific reporters.

Steady stream of fixes. Last two weeks feel comparable to the two
weeks before the merge window. Lots of AI-aided bug discovery. A newer
big source is Sashiko/Gemini (Roman Gushchin's system), which points
out issues in existing code during patch review (maybe 25% of fixes
here likely originating from Sashiko). Nice thing is these are often
fixed by the respective maintainers, not drive-bys.

Common mistake in commit messages of patches on mailing list adding
CONFIG options to arm/multi_v7 or arm64/defconfig is saying what that
patch is doing, e.g. "Enable driver foo". That is obvious from the diff
part, thus explaining it does not bring any value. What brings value is
to understand why "driver foo" should be in a shared, upstream
defconfig, especially considering that distros have their own defconfigs
and we do not care about non-upstream trees.

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.
And some other fixes, cleanups and improvements"

In previous patch "Documentation: clarify the mandatory and desirable
info for security reports" I left two typos that I didn't detect in local
checks. One is "get_maintainers.pl" (no 's' in the script name), and the
other one is a missing closing quote after "Reported-by", which didn't
have effect here but I don't know if it can break rendering elsewhere
(e.g. on the public HTML page). Better fix it before it gets merged.

A significant part of the effort of the security team consists in begging
reporters for patch proposals, or asking them to provide them in regular
format, and most of the time they're willing to provide this, they just
didn't know that it would help. So let's add a section detailing the
required and desirable contents in a security report to help reporters
write more actionable reports which do not require round trips.

These days, 80% of the work done by the security team consists in
locating the affected subsystem in a report, running get_maintainers on
it, forwarding the report to these persons and responding to the reporter
with them in Cc. This is a huge and unneeded overhead that we must try to
lower for a better overall efficiency. This patch adds a complete section
explaining how to figure the list of recipients to send the report to.

Sources already have SPDX-FileCopyrightText (~40 instances) and more
appear on the mailing list, so document that it is allowed. On the
other hand SPDX defines several other tags like SPDX-FileType, so add
checkpatch rule to narrow desired tags only to two of them - license and
copyright. That way no new tags would sneak in to the kernel unnoticed.

The library to create tests for both NIC HW and netdevsim has existed
for almost a year. netdevsim-only tests we get increasingly feel like
a waste, we should try to write tests that work both on netdevsim and
real HW. Refine the guidance accordingly.

Add additional quotes from Linus while trimming the existing ones and
sorting them all into categories. That makes it easier for new
developers and maintainers to look up how Linus expects certain
situations wrt regressions to be handled. The earlier sections in the
document already explain this, but those parts are often questioned --
or not considered authoritative at all and plainly ignored. Having it
straight from the horse's mouth helps get everyone on the same page,
even if that makes the document quite a bit longer (the raw line count
of this section doubles, but the number of characters increases by
nearly 50%). In return, this covers a lot more aspects and, due to the
sub-headings, is easier to navigate.
In contrast to the more neutral description in the early sections of the
document, this also provides a better insight into how serious Linus is
about the "no regressions" rule and how he wants it to be interpreted in
practice; this makes it easier for new developers and maintainers to
understand things and prevent run-ins with higher-level maintainers.

Somehow people got into the habit of putting labels at the tops of

give the name of a file when linking to the whole thing; remove the label

Pull rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Add '__rust_helper' annotation to the C helpers
This is needed to inline these helpers into Rust code
- Remove imports available via the prelude, treewide
This was possible thanks to a new lint in Klint that Gary has
implemented -- more Klint-related changes, including initial
upstream support, are coming
- Deduplicate pin-init flags
'kernel' crate:
- Add support for calling a function exactly once with the new
'do_once_lite!' macro (and 'OnceLite' type)
Based on this, add 'pr_*_once!' macros to print only once
- Add 'impl_flags!' macro for defining common bitflags operations:
impl_flags!(
/// Represents multiple permissions.
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Default, Copy, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub struct Permissions(u32);
/// Represents a single permission.
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub enum Permission {
/// Read permission.
Read = 1 << 0,
/// Write permission.
Write = 1 << 1,
/// Execute permission.
Execute = 1 << 2,
}
);
let mut f: Permissions = Permission::Read | Permission::Write;
assert!(f.contains(Permission::Read));
assert!(!f.contains(Permission::Execute));
f |= Permission::Execute;
assert!(f.contains(Permission::Execute));
let f2: Permissions = Permission::Write | Permission::Execute;
assert!((f ^ f2).contains(Permission::Read));
assert!(!(f ^ f2).contains(Permission::Write));
- 'bug' module: support 'CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE_DETAILED' in the
'warn_on!' macro in order to show the evaluated condition alongside
the file path:
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: [val == 1] linux/samples/rust/rust_minimal.rs:27 at ...
Modules linked in: rust_minimal(+)
- Add safety module with 'unsafe_precondition_assert!' macro,
currently a wrapper for 'debug_assert!', intended to mark the
validation of safety preconditions where possible:
/// # Safety
///
/// The caller must ensure that `index` is less than `N`.
unsafe fn set_unchecked(&mut self, index: usize, value: T) {
unsafe_precondition_assert!(
index < N,
"set_unchecked() requires index ({index}) < N ({N})"
);
...
}
- Add instructions to 'build_assert!' documentation requesting to
always inline functions when used with function arguments
- 'ptr' module: replace 'build_assert!' with a 'const' one
- 'rbtree' module: reduce unsafe blocks on pointer derefs
- 'transmute' module: implement 'FromBytes' and 'AsBytes' for
inhabited ZSTs, and use it in Nova
- More treewide replacements of 'c_str!' with C string literals
'macros' crate:
- Rewrite most procedural macros ('module!', 'concat_idents!',
'#[export]', '#[vtable]', '#[kunit_tests]') to use the 'syn'
parsing library which we introduced last cycle, with better
diagnostics
This also allows to support '#[cfg]' properly in the '#[vtable]'
macro, to support arbitrary types in 'module!' macro (not just an
identifier) and to remove several custom parsing helpers we had
- Use 'quote!' from the recently vendored 'quote' library and remove
our custom one
The vendored one also allows us to avoid quoting '"' and '{}'
inside the template anymore and editors can now highlight it. In
addition, it improves robustness as it eliminates the need for
string quoting and escaping
- Use 'pin_init::zeroed()' to simplify KUnit code
'pin-init' crate:
- Rewrite all procedural macros ('[pin_]init!', '#[pin_data]',
'#[pinned_drop]', 'derive([Maybe]Zeroable)') to use the 'syn'
parsing library which we introduced last cycle, with better
diagnostics
- Implement 'InPlaceWrite' for '&'static mut MaybeUninit<T>'. This
enables users to use external allocation mechanisms such as
'static_cell'
- Support tuple structs in 'derive([Maybe]Zeroable)'
- Support attributes on fields in '[pin_]init!' (such as
'#[cfg(...)]')
- Add a '#[default_error(<type>)]' attribute to '[pin_]init!' to
override the default error (when no '? Error' is specified)
- Support packed structs in '[pin_]init!' with
'#[disable_initialized_field_access]'
- Remove 'try_[pin_]init!' in favor of merging their feature with
'[pin_]init!'. Update the kernel's own 'try_[pin_]init!' macros to
use the 'default_error' attribute
- Correct 'T: Sized' bounds to 'T: ?Sized' in the generated
'PinnedDrop' check by '#[pin_data]'
Documentation:
- Conclude the Rust experiment
MAINTAINERS:
- Add "RUST [RUST-ANALYZER]" entry for the rust-analyzer support.
Tamir and Jesung will take care of it. They have both been active
around it for a while. The new tree will flow through the Rust one
- Add Gary as maintainer for "RUST [PIN-INIT]"
- Update Boqun and Tamir emails to their kernel.org accounts
And a few other cleanups and improvements"

Pull kmalloc_obj updates from Kees Cook:
"Introduce the kmalloc_obj* family of APIs for switching to type-based
kmalloc allocations, away from purely size-based allocations.
Discussed on lkml, with you, and at Linux Plumbers. It's been in -next
for the entire dev cycle.
Before the merge window closes, I'd like to send the treewide
change (generated from the Coccinelle script included here), which
mechanically converts almost 20k callsites from kmalloc* to
kmalloc_obj*:
8007 files changed, 19980 insertions(+), 20838 deletions(-)
This change needed fixes for mismatched types (since now the return
type from allocations is a pointer to the requested type, not "void
*"), and I've been fixing these over the last 4 releases.
These fixes have mostly been trivial mismatches with const qualifiers
or accidentally identical sizes (e.g. same object size: "struct kvec"
vs "struct iovec", or differing pointers to pointers), but I did catch
one case of too-small allocation.
Summary:
- Introduce kmalloc_obj*() family of type-based allocator APIs
- checkpatch: Suggest kmalloc_obj family for sizeof allocations
- coccinelle: Add kmalloc_objs conversion script"

The root document usually has a special :ref:`genindex` link to the
generated index. This is also the case for Documentation/index.rst. The
other index.rst files deeper in the directory hierarchy usually don't.
For SPHINXDIRS builds, the root document isn't Documentation/index.rst,
but some other index.rst in the hierarchy. Currently they have a
".. only::" block to add the index link when doing SPHINXDIRS html
builds.
This is obviously very tedious and repetitive. The link is also added to
all index.rst files in the hierarchy for SPHINXDIRS builds, not just the
root document.
Put the boilerplate in a sphinx-includes/subproject-index.rst file, and
include it at the end of the root document for subproject builds in an

For now, keep having the boilerplate in translations, because this
approach currently doesn't cover translated index link headers.
