Merge tag 'tracepoints-v6.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull unused tracepoints update from Steven Rostedt:
"Detect unused tracepoints.
If a tracepoint is defined but never used (TRACE_EVENT() created but
no trace_<tracepoint>() called), it can take up to or more than 5K of
memory each. This can add up as there are around a hundred unused
tracepoints with various configs. That is 500K of wasted memory.
Add a make build parameter of "UT=1" to have the build warn if an
unused tracepoint is detected in the build. This allows detection of
unused tracepoints to be upstream so that outreachy and the mentoring
project can have new developers look for fixing them, without having
these warnings suddenly show up when someone upgrades their kernel.
When all known unused tracepoints are removed, then the "UT=1" build
parameter can be removed and unused tracepoints will always warn. This
will catch new unused tracepoints after the current ones have been
removed.
Summary:
- Separate out elf functions from sorttable.c
Move out the ELF parsing functions from sorttable.c so that the
tracing tooling can use it.
- Add a tracepoint verifier tool to the build process
If "UT=1" is added to the kernel command line, any unused
tracepoints will trigger a warning at build time.
- Do not warn about unused tracepoints for tracepoints that are
exported
There are sever cases where a tracepoint is created by the kernel
and used by modules. Since there's no easy way to detect if these
are truly unused since the users are in modules, if a tracepoint is
exported, assume it will eventually be used by a module. Note,
there's not many exported tracepoints so this should not be a
problem to ignore them.
- Have building of modules also detect unused tracepoints
Do not only check the main vmlinux for unused tracepoints, also
check modules. If a module is defining a tracepoint it should be
using it.
- Add the tracepoint-update program to the ignore file
The new tracepoint-update program needs to be ignored by git"

Merge tag 'core-rseq-2025-11-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull rseq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large overhaul of the restartable sequences and CID management:
The recent enablement of RSEQ in glibc resulted in regressions which
are caused by the related overhead. It turned out that the decision to
invoke the exit to user work was not really a decision. More or less
each context switch caused that. There is a long list of small issues
which sums up nicely and results in a 3-4% regression in I/O
benchmarks.
The other detail which caused issues due to extra work in context
switch and task migration is the CID (memory context ID) management.
It also requires to use a task work to consolidate the CID space,
which is executed in the context of an arbitrary task and results in
sporadic uncontrolled exit latencies.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Removing deprecated and long unsupported functionality
- Moving the related data into dedicated data structures which are
optimized for fast path processing.
- Caching values so actual decisions can be made
- Replacing the current implementation with a optimized inlined
variant.
- Separating fast and slow path for architectures which use the
generic entry code, so that only fault and error handling goes into
the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME handler.
- Rewriting the CID management so that it becomes mostly invisible in
the context switch path. That moves the work of switching modes
into the fork/exit path, which is a reasonable tradeoff. That work
is only required when a process creates more threads than the
cpuset it is allowed to run on or when enough threads exit after
that. An artificial thread pool benchmarks which triggers this did
not degrade, it actually improved significantly.
The main effect in migration heavy scenarios is that runqueue lock
held time and therefore contention goes down significantly"

Merge tag 'objtool-core-2025-12-01' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
- klp-build livepatch module generation (Josh Poimboeuf)
Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build script to generate
livepatch modules using a source .patch as input.
This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch
project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to
generate livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a
complete rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+
years of maintaining kpatch.
Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:
- Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
graph analysis to help detect changed functions.
- Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.
- Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.
- Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.
- Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for
symbol/section/reloc inclusion and special section extraction.
- Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines
script which injects #line directives into the source .patch to
preserve the original line numbers at compile time.
- Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump
(Alexandre Chartre)
- Disassemble support (-d option to objtool) by Alexandre Chartre,
which supports the decoding of various Linux kernel code generation
specials such as alternatives:

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Cheaper MAY_EXEC handling for path lookup. This elides MAY_WRITE
permission checks during path lookup and adds the
IOP_FASTPERM_MAY_EXEC flag so filesystems like btrfs can avoid
expensive permission work.
- Hide dentry_cache behind runtime const machinery.
- Add German Maglione as virtiofs co-maintainer.
Cleanups:
- Tidy up and inline step_into() and walk_component() for improved
code generation.
- Re-enable IOCB_NOWAIT writes to files. This refactors file
timestamp update logic, fixing a layering bypass in btrfs when
updating timestamps on device files and improving FMODE_NOCMTIME
handling in VFS now that nfsd started using it.
- Path lookup optimizations extracting slowpaths into dedicated
routines and adding branch prediction hints for mntput_no_expire(),
fd_install(), lookup_slow(), and various other hot paths.
- Enable clang's -fms-extensions flag, requiring a JFS rename to
avoid conflicts.
- Remove spurious exports in fs/file_attr.c.
- Stop duplicating union pipe_index declaration. This depends on the
shared kbuild branch that brings in -fms-extensions support which
is merged into this branch.

rqspinlock: Enclose lock/unlock within lock entry acquisitions
Ritesh reported that timeouts occurred frequently for rqspinlock despite
reentrancy on the same lock on the same CPU in [0]. This patch closes
one of the races leading to this behavior, and reduces the frequency of
timeouts.
We currently have a tiny window between the fast-path cmpxchg and the
grabbing of the lock entry where an NMI could land, attempt the same
lock that was just acquired, and end up timing out. This is not ideal.
Instead, move the lock entry acquisition from the fast path to before
the cmpxchg, and remove the grabbing of the lock entry in the slow path,
assuming it was already taken by the fast path. The TAS fallback is
invoked directly without being preceded by the typical fast path,
therefore we must continue to grab the deadlock detection entry in that
case.
Case on lock leading to missed AA:
cmpxchg lock A
<NMI>
... rqspinlock acquisition of A
... timeout
</NMI>
grab_held_lock_entry(A)
There is a similar case when unlocking the lock. If the NMI lands
between the WRITE_ONCE and smp_store_release, it is possible that we end
up in a situation where the NMI fails to diagnose the AA condition,
leading to a timeout.
Case on unlock leading to missed AA:
WRITE_ONCE(rqh->locks[rqh->cnt - 1], NULL)
<NMI>
... rqspinlock acquisition of A
... timeout
</NMI>
smp_store_release(A->locked, 0)
The patch changes the order on unlock to smp_store_release() succeeded
by WRITE_ONCE() of NULL. This avoids the missed AA detection described
above, but may lead to a false positive if the NMI lands between these
two statements, which is acceptable (and preferred over a timeout).
The original intention of the reverse order on unlock was to prevent the
following possible misdiagnosis of an ABBA scenario:
grab entry A
lock A
grab entry B
lock B
unlock B
smp_store_release(B->locked, 0)
grab entry B
lock B
grab entry A
lock A
! <detect ABBA>
WRITE_ONCE(rqh->locks[rqh->cnt - 1], NULL)
If the store release were is after the WRITE_ONCE, the other CPU would
not observe B in the table of the CPU unlocking the lock B. However,
since the threads are obviously participating in an ABBA deadlock, it
is no longer appealing to use the order above since it may lead to a
250 ms timeout due to missed AA detection.

mm: userfaultfd: add pgtable_supports_uffd_wp()
Some platforms can customize the PTE/PMD entry uffd-wp bit making it unavailable even if the architecture provides the resource. This patch adds a macro API pgtable_supports_uffd_wp() that allows architectures to define their specific implementations to check if the uffd-wp bit is available on which device the kernel is running. Also this patch is removing "ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP" and "ifdef CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP" in favor of pgtable_supports_uffd_wp() and uffd_supports_wp_marker() checks respectively that default to IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP) and "IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP) && IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP)" if not overridden by the architecture, no change in behavior is expected.

mm: correctly handle UFFD PTE markers
Patch series "mm: remove is_swap_[pte, pmd]() + non-swap entries,
introduce leaf entries", v3.
There's an established convention in the kernel that we treat leaf page
tables (so far at the PTE, PMD level) as containing 'swap entries' should
they be neither empty (i.e. p**_none() evaluating true) nor present (i.e.
p**_present() evaluating true).
However, at the same time we also have helper predicates - is_swap_pte(),
is_swap_pmd() - which are inconsistently used.
This is problematic, as it is logical to assume that should somebody wish
to operate upon a page table swap entry they should first check to see if
it is in fact one.
It also implies that perhaps, in future, we might introduce a non-present,
none page table entry that is not a swap entry.
This series resolves this issue by systematically eliminating all use of
the is_swap_pte() and is swap_pmd() predicates so we retain only the
convention that should a leaf page table entry be neither none nor present
it is a swap entry.
We also have the further issue that 'swap entry' is unfortunately a really
rather overloaded term and in fact refers to both entries for swap and for
other information such as migration entries, page table markers, and
device private entries.
We therefore have the rather 'unique' concept of a 'non-swap' swap entry.
This series therefore introduces the concept of 'software leaf entries',
of type softleaf_t, to eliminate this confusion.
A software leaf entry in this sense is any page table entry which is
non-present, and represented by the softleaf_t type. That is - page table
leaf entries which are software-controlled by the kernel.
This includes 'none' or empty entries, which are simply represented by an
zero leaf entry value.
In order to maintain compatibility as we transition the kernel to this new
type, we simply typedef swp_entry_t to softleaf_t.
We introduce a number of predicates and helpers to interact with software
leaf entries in include/linux/leafops.h which, as it imports swapops.h,
can be treated as a drop-in replacement for swapops.h wherever leaf entry
helpers are used.
Since softleaf_from_[pte, pmd]() treats present entries as they were
empty/none leaf entries, this allows for a great deal of simplification of
code throughout the code base, which this series utilises a great deal.
We additionally change from swap entry to software leaf entry handling
where it makes sense to and eliminate functions from swapops.h where
software leaf entries obviate the need for the functions.
This patch (of 16):
PTE markers were previously only concerned with UFFD-specific logic - that
is, PTE entries with the UFFD WP marker set or those marked via
UFFDIO_POISON.
However since the introduction of guard markers in commit

Via hv_get/set_non_nested_msr(), they detect when running in a CoCo VM with a paravisor, and use the TDX or SNP guest-host communication protocol to bypass the paravisor and go directly to the host hypervisor for SynIC MSRs.

If it is, the guest shall enable the paravisor SynIC. Read the relevant data from the VS CPUID leaf. Refactor the code to avoid repeating CPUID and add flags to the struct ms_hyperv_info.

mshv: Fix deposit memory in MSHV_ROOT_HVCALL
When the MSHV_ROOT_HVCALL ioctl is executing a hypercall, and gets
HV_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY, it deposits memory and then returns
-EAGAIN to userspace. The expectation is that the VMM will retry.
However, some VMM code in the wild doesn't do this and simply fails.
Rather than force the VMM to retry, change the ioctl to deposit
memory on demand and immediately retry the hypercall as is done with
all the other hypercall helper functions.
In addition to making the ioctl easier to use, removing the need for
multiple syscalls improves performance.
There is a complication: unlike the other hypercall helper functions,
in MSHV_ROOT_HVCALL the input is opaque to the kernel. This is
problematic for rep hypercalls, because the next part of the input
list can't be copied on each loop after depositing pages (this was
the original reason for returning -EAGAIN in this case).
Introduce hv_do_rep_hypercall_ex(), which adds a 'rep_start'
parameter. This solves the issue, allowing the deposit loop in
MSHV_ROOT_HVCALL to restart a rep hypercall after depositing pages
partway through.
Fixes:

objtool: Warn on functions with ambiguous -ffunction-sections section names
When compiled with -ffunction-sections, a function named startup() will
be placed in .text.startup. However, .text.startup is also used by the
compiler for functions with __attribute__((constructor)).
That creates an ambiguity for the vmlinux linker script, which needs to
differentiate those two cases.
Similar naming conflicts exist for functions named exit(), split(),
unlikely(), hot() and unknown().
One potential solution would be to use '#ifdef CC_USING_FUNCTION_SECTIONS'
to create two distinct implementations of the TEXT_MAIN macro. However,
-ffunction-sections can be (and is) enabled or disabled on a per-object

rseq: Switch to TIF_RSEQ if supported
TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME is a multiplexing TIF bit, which is suboptimal especially with the RSEQ fast path depending on it, but not really handling it. Define a separate TIF_RSEQ in the generic TIF space and enable the full separation of fast and slow path for architectures which utilize that. That avoids the hassle with invocations of resume_user_mode_work() from hypervisors, which clear TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. It makes the therefore required re-evaluation at the end of vcpu_run() a NOOP on architectures which utilize the generic TIF space and have a separate TIF_RSEQ. The hypervisor TIF handling does not include the separate TIF_RSEQ as there is no point in doing so. The guest does neither know nor care about the VMM host applications RSEQ state. That state is only relevant when the ioctl() returns to user space. The fastpath implementation still utilizes TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME for failure handling, but this only happens within exit_to_user_mode_loop(), so arguably the hypervisor ioctl() code is long done when this happens.

But x86 and um provide different versions of asm/percpu.h -- um uses asm-generic/percpu.h directly. When SMP is enabled, asm-generic/percpu.h will introduce C code that cannot be assembled.

tracing: Add a tracepoint verification check at build time
If a tracepoint is defined via DECLARE_TRACE() or TRACE_EVENT() but never called (via the trace_<tracepoint>() function), its metadata is still around in memory and not discarded. When created via TRACE_EVENT() the situation is worse because the TRACE_EVENT() creates metadata that can be around 5k per trace event. Having unused trace events causes several thousand of wasted bytes. Add a verifier that injects a string of the name of the tracepoint it calls that is added to the discarded section "__tracepoint_check". For every builtin tracepoint, its name (which is saved in the in-memory section "__tracepoint_strings") will have its name also in the "__tracepoint_check" section if it is used. Add a new program that is run on build called tracepoint-update. This is executed on the vmlinux.o before the __tracepoint_check section is discarded (the section is discarded before vmlinux is created). This program will create an array of each string in the __tracepoint_check section and then sort it. Then it will walk the strings in the __tracepoint_strings section and do a binary search to check if its name is in the __tracepoint_check section. If it is not, then it is unused and a warning is printed. Note, this currently only handles tracepoints that are builtin and not in modules. Enabling this currently with a given config produces: warning: tracepoint 'sched_move_numa' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'sched_stick_numa' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'sched_swap_numa' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'pelt_hw_tp' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'pelt_irq_tp' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'rcu_preempt_task' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'rcu_unlock_preempted_task' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xdp_bulk_tx' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xdp_redirect_map' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xdp_redirect_map_err' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'vma_mas_szero' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'vma_store' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'hugepage_set_pmd' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'hugepage_set_pud' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'hugepage_update_pmd' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'hugepage_update_pud' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'block_rq_remap' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_handle_event' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_handle_transfer' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_gadget_ep_queue' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_alloc_request' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_free_request' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_queue_request' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_giveback_request' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_wrong_maclen' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_mismatch' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_key_not_found' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_rnext_request' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_synack_no_key' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_snd_sne_update' is unused. warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_rcv_sne_update' is unused. Some of the above is totally unused but others are not used due to their "trace_" functions being inside configs, in which case, the defined tracepoints should also be inside those same configs. Others are architecture specific but defined in generic code, where they should either be moved to the architecture or be surrounded by #ifdef for the architectures they are for. This tool could be updated to process modules in the future. I'd like to thank Mathieu Desnoyers for suggesting using strings instead of pointers, as using pointers in vmlinux.o required handling relocations and it required implementing almost a full feature linker to do so. To enable this check, run the build with: make UT=1 Note, when all the existing unused tracepoints are removed from the build, the "UT=1" will be removed and this will always be enabled when tracepoints are configured to warn on any new tracepoints. The reason this isn't always enabled now is because it will introduce a lot of warnings for the current unused tracepoints, and all bisects would end at this commit for those warnings.

vmlinux.lds: Unify TEXT_MAIN, DATA_MAIN, and related macros
TEXT_MAIN, DATA_MAIN and friends are defined differently depending on whether certain config options enable -ffunction-sections and/or -fdata-sections. There's no technical reason for that beyond voodoo coding. Keeping the separate implementations adds unnecessary complexity, fragments the logic, and increases the risk of subtle bugs. Unify the macros by using the same input section patterns across all configs. This is a prerequisite for the upcoming livepatch klp-build tooling which will manually enable -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections via KCFLAGS.

Drivers: hv: Add CONFIG_HYPERV_VMBUS option
At present VMBus driver is hinged off of CONFIG_HYPERV which entails lot of builtin code and encompasses too much. It's not always clear what depends on builtin hv code and what depends on VMBus. Setting CONFIG_HYPERV as a module and fudging the Makefile to switch to builtin adds even more confusion. VMBus is an independent module and should have its own config option. Also, there are scenarios like baremetal dom0/root where support is built in with CONFIG_HYPERV but without VMBus. Lastly, there are more features coming down that use CONFIG_HYPERV and add more dependencies on it. So, create a fine grained HYPERV_VMBUS option and update Kconfigs for dependency on VMBus.

kcfi: Rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI
The kernel's CFI implementation uses the KCFI ABI specifically, and is not strictly tied to a particular compiler. In preparation for GCC supporting KCFI, rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (along with associated options). Use new "transitional" Kconfig option for old CONFIG_CFI_CLANG that will enable CONFIG_CFI during olddefconfig.

asm-generic/io.h: Skip trace helpers if rwmmio events are disabled
With `CONFIG_TRACE_MMIO_ACCESS=y`, the `{read,write}{b,w,l,q}{_relaxed}()`
mmio accessors unconditionally call `log_{post_}{read,write}_mmio()`
helpers, which in turn call the ftrace ops for `rwmmio` trace events
This adds a performance penalty per mmio accessor call, even when
`rwmmio` events are disabled at runtime (~80% overhead on local
measurement).
Guard these with `tracepoint_enabled()`.
