"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Fix KCFI failures, such as in Rust doctests, by disabling function
merging when CFI is enabled. Gary reported the LLVM bug to upstream
and it is now fixed in their mainline.
- Fix 'objtool' fallthrough warnings under the experimental
'CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS' by passing (for the combined Rust and
helpers code) the LLVM options needed to preserve the unreachable
traps that 'rustc' normally emits.
In addition, fix 'objtool' errors when LTO is enabled on top, by
also filtering out the LTO flags (for the combined Rust and helpers
code) so that the traps are kept in place.
- Fix 'objtool' warnings by adding one more 'noreturn' function.

The 'looped' rule collects the returns inside a for loop to
prevent 'err' from reporting them. It searches every for loop in
the file, and on files with large loop bodies the search explodes.
For example, kernel/bpf/verifier.c runs for over 200 seconds,
almost entirely in 'looped' according to --profile. Since the
kernel .cocciconfig sets a 200 second timeout, coccicheck silently
skips the file.
To avoid this, collect the candidate returns first, so that
'looped' checks only those positions. 'err' then excludes what
'looped' found.
Every return that 'err' can report is also a candidate, so the
same returns are excluded as before and the output does not change.
A report-mode run over every .c file in the tree produces identical
output.
So verifier.c now finishes well within the timeout, in a few
seconds.

The rules that report an opencoded min() or max() search every
function body, even when the file contains nothing to find.
To avoid this, collect the candidates first and run the search only
when one exists. A candidate is any conditional expression whose
condition is a comparison.
Every opencoded min() or max() is also a candidate, so the same
opportunities are reported as before and the output does not
change. A report-mode run over every .c file in the tree produces
identical output.

The 'balanced' rule collects the locks that are taken and released
under the same condition, to prevent them from being reported as a
double lock. It runs on every file that contains a lock call.
To avoid this, collect the double-lock candidates first, so that
'balanced' runs only when one exists. The report then excludes what
'balanced' found.
Every double lock that can be reported is also a candidate, so the
same reports are made as before and the output does not change. A
report-mode run over every .c file in the tree produces identical

Under `CONFIG_LTO_CLANG` + `CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS`, one may hit
`objtool` errors such as:
vmlinux.o: error: objtool: _R..._3Gsp4boot+0xd6a:
can't find jump dest instruction at .text._R..._3Gsp4boot+0x1dfd
The reason is that in such builds, the Clang invocation that compiles
the combined Rust plus helpers bitcode emits LLVM bitcode (again) --
the final code generation happens in the linker's LTO step, which the
`-mllvm` trap options passed to Clang do not reach.
This, in turn, means that unreachable traps are missing, and the
impossible paths do not merely fallthrough to the next symbol, but past
the end of their own section, since LTO builds place each function in
its own section.
Thus filter `CC_FLAGS_LTO` out of the Clang invocation, so that it always
emits machine code directly, with the traps in place.

When `CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS` is enabled, it is possible to hit
`objtool` warnings like:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: _R..._4cmdq12CommandToGsp4init()
falls through to next function _R..._4core5array4iter8IntoIterRShKj3_EEEBa_()
`rustc` normally emits traps for unreachable paths. However, under
`CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS=y`, `rustc` emits LLVM bitcode and Clang
performs final code generation after the helper bitcode is linked,
but Clang does not trap unreachable IR by default.
In turn, this means `objtool` follows compiler-generated impossible Rust
`enum` paths through alignment padding into the next function, resulting
in fallthrough warnings.
Thus pass the LLVM `trap-unreachable` option to the final Clang invocation
and suppress traps immediately after `noreturn` calls, which `objtool`
already recognizes as dead ends. The combination of both flags makes it
match `rustc`'s behavior.
Rust 1.85.0 (the minimum supported one) supports LLVM >= 18, and both
flags are available in LLVM 18.

or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio
splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows
the removal of redundant private field clearing inside
prep_compound_tail()
- "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry
Song)
Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in
wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock
contention and system overhead
By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining
and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a
30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads
- "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu)
Reorganize folio LRU and swap code by relocating page-cluster state
to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c, and moving
MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h.
- "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" (Kiryl
Shutsemau)
Add userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM guest
memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to
tiered or remote storage
- "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David
Hildenbrand)
Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE,
performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap
pages on the way.
- "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park)
Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated
when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the
behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames
existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to
probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to
maintain measurement accuracy.
- "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin)
Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where
thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock
contention.
By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it
reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to
under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under
memory pressure.
- "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport)
Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse
into new headers
- "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin)
Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to
collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during
KSM memory error handling.
It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the
anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range,
reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency.
- "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali
Patil)
Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can
report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not
satisfied
- "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park)
Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing
users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or
cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.
By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely
disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on
weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for
attribute-focused workloads.
- "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings"
(Stanislav Kinsburskii)
Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by
allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new
hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.
By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock
release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd
regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers.
- "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and
manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel
It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),
vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while
renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their
functionality.
These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that
will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd
folios.
- "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif)
Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk
callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries
created during HMM migrations
It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock()
properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present
THP or a standard migration entry.
- "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain)
Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb,
anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated
functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous
large folio unmapping.
- "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu)
Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI
document
- "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price)
Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM
infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing
entire memory regions
By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it
enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward
compatibility.
- "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type
to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure.
It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(),
unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like
mlock, mprotect, and mremap.
- "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin)
Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate
slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code
documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must
remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions.
- "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park)
Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only
fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access
from outer layers.
It enforces encapsulation across core structures including
damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to
interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct
members.
- "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races"
(SJ Park)
Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race
conditions identified in DAMON
It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a
NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring
accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races.
- "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan
Jackman)
Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages
on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks
via non-PCP or isolated migration paths.
It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation
risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory
hotplug or large allocation frees.
- "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan
Jackman)
Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and
debug assertions.
It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming
convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from
high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete
VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths.
- "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API
boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity.
It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a
dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO,
eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only
to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no
functional changes intended.
- "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive
reclaim" (Ridong Chen)
Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across
memory reclaim paths
It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so
unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page
cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead
of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete
gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim().
- "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang)
Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it
removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP
pages as non-resident.
- "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau)
Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API
- "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation
bugs" (SJ Park)
Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by
Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent
occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses
in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling.
- "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu)
Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags
without altering functionality.
It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag
bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*()
helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling.
- "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain)
Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within
userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching
capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().
This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in
try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control
flow and complexity.
- "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()"
(Sang-Heon Jeon)
Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of
__late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after
early_ioremap_reset()
It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()
must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset
calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures.
- "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner)
Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious
OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta
production
It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation
requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at
pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather
than spinning unproductively.
- "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior)
Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating
per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances
This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map
instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic
lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports
when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Warn when using 'bindgen' < 0.72.1 with 'libclang' >= 22, since
that combination may fail to build. It includes a probe for the bug
in case 'bindgen' happens to be patched, and tests
In parallel, Nathan updated the instructions for the kernel.org
LLVM+Rust toolchains so that the latest version of 'bindgen' is
installed, which should avoid some of these situations
- Support testing 'rust_is_available.sh' with 'bash' as '/bin/sh'
- Fix an objtool warning by adding one more 'noreturn' function for
Rust 1.99.0 (expected 2026-10-01)
- Fix build error in the 'rusttest' target due to ambiguity when the
'rustc-dev' component is installed, which was uncovered by the work
to support Rust's GCC backend ('rustc_codegen_gcc')
- Fix future Clang warnings in the upcoming powerpc support due to
macro redefinitions in the UAPI helper header by including the
arch-aware 'ioctl.h' header
'kernel' crate:
- Rework module ownership support:
- Move the module-related types into a new 'module' module and
make the 'THIS_MODULE' pointer a constant of 'ModuleMetadata'
so that modules can provide the pointer in const contexts, and
add a 'this_module' 'const fn' to retrieve it
This was enabled by upstream Rust's work on the 'const_mut_refs'
and 'const_refs_to_static' features which were stabilized back
in Rust 1.83.0
- Teach '#[vtable]' to associate implementations with their
owning module, defaulting to the local one, including fallbacks
for doctests, uses within the 'kernel' crate (like upcoming
KUnit '#[test]'s for DRM) and 'rusttest'
- Set 'fops.owner' from the module pointer for DRM and
miscdevice
- Migrate Rust Binder and configfs away from the old
'THIS_MODULE' 'static' and finally remove it from the 'module!'
macro
- 'num' module:
- Add the new 'casts' module for lossless integer conversions
Rust's 'core' library's 'From' implementations do not cover
conversions that are not portable or future-proof. However, the
kernel supports a narrower set of architectures, which makes it
helpful to provide more infallible conversions, instead of
having developers use 'as' casts, which carry the risk of
silently losing data
This goes along with previous work we did to avoid casts in
Rust kernel code since they are more powerful than needed
Thus, provide safe 'const' conversion functions (e.g.
'usize_as_u64' and 'u64_into_u8'), as well as the
'FromSafeCast' and 'IntoSafeCast' extension traits that provide
conversions that are known to be lossless in the kernel, and an
'arch' submodule defining conversions that are known to be
lossless on particular architectures (e.g. 64-bit platforms).
For instance:
// Conversion in const context.
const USIZED_CONST: usize = u8_as_usize(255u8);
// Non-const conversions.
let a = u64::from_safe_cast(4096usize);
let b: u64 = 4096usize.into_safe_cast();
- Add 'Bounded::shr_exact' method in the vein of 'try_shrink'
which shifts a bounded right only if it loses no set bits
- Fix unsoundness issue in the 'Bounded::shr' method by
rejecting, at compile-time, shifts of at least the type's bit
width
- 'fmt' module:
- Route '{:p}' raw pointer formatting through the kernel's hashed
'%p' format to prevent address leaks, including support for
width and padding. Include tests for both 'no_hash_pointers'
case and the default (hashed) one
- Fix the '{:p}' forwarding implementation, which could print the
address of a temporary stack variable
- 'time' module:
- Make 'Delta' generic over its time unit, with a default unit of
nanoseconds ('Nsec'), preserving the existing behavior. Then,
add a 'Jiffy' time unit
- Add the 'Delta::as_millis_ceil()' method
- Fix 'as_micros_ceil()' rounding near 'i64::MAX', which could
yield a result one microsecond too small
- 'sync' module:
- Implement 'ForeignOwnable' for 'ARef<T>', allowing C code to
own an 'ARef<T>'
- Add a safe abstraction for 'rcu_barrier()'
- 'error' module: add all of the remaining error codes, except the
deprecated compatibility aliases
- 'bug' module:
- Fix build error on UML in 'warn_on!' for callers from within
the 'kernel' crate
- Fix future 'dead_code' warning on arm and loongarch64 and under
'CONFIG_BUG=n' in 'warn_on!', which would trigger with the
upcoming SRCU abstractions
- Fix future build error in 'rusttest' on cross-compilation
cases, which would trigger when 'warn_on!' has callers inside
the 'kernel' crate
- 'bitfield' module: fix build error for the upcoming support for
Rust's GCC backend ('rustc_codegen_gcc') by always inlining a
couple conversions used in tests
'pin-init' crate:
- User-visible changes:
- Merge the '__pinned_init' and '__init' methods and make 'Init'
a marker trait
- Introduce public APIs 'raw_init' and 'raw_try_init' to prevent
users from needing to invoke the internal '__pinned_init' and
'__init' methods
- Emit errors for duplicate '#[pin]' attributes
- Link 'Zeroable::zeroed' and 'pin_init::zeroed' in documentation
- Other changes:
- Fix unwind safety issues
- Clean up lint 'allow' and 'expect's
- Overhaul '#[cfg]' handling to pave the way for tuple structs
and self-referential structs
- Mark many functions as '#[inline]' for better codegen with '-C
opt-level=s' ('CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE')
'MAINTAINERS':
- Update 'MODULE SUPPORT' to cover the new 'module' module
And some other fixes, cleanups and improvements"

Pull failfs filesystem from Christian Brauner:
"Add failfs and expose a FD_FAILFS_ROOT sentinel.
This allows userspace to shed their filesystem state completely. A
process with its root or working directory in failfs must anchor every
path lookup at an explicit file descriptor. Absolute paths, absolute
symlinks and AT_FDCWD-relative lookups simply fail.
Failfs is the counterpart to nullfs. nullfs says adds a permanently
empty, immutable directory whose lookups fail with ENOENT but which
can be opened, read, stat'd and mounted upon. Failfs on the other hand
fails every operation. The root cannot be opened at all. A single
instance is mounted during early boot via kern_mount(), which makes it
logically distinct from every mount namespace.
This is accompanied by a new fchroot() system call which makes
chrooting via a file descriptor a first class concept. It's possible
to chroot into failfs as an unprivileged user provided the task has no
new privileges set"

Convert all module name logging to use the mod_warn() and mod_error()
helpers, and pass the module to modpost_log() where used directly, to
always have the module name prefixed in the log message, with .ko suffix
for modules.
Pass struct module *mod around in a few places instead of just
mod->name.
Further unify the logging while at it. Use single quotes instead of
double quotes for symbols, sections, and namespaces. Explicitly state
it's a "symbol" when referencing symbols.

is logged in a plethora of ways. Add struct module * parameter to
modpost_log(), and wrappers mod_warn() and mod_error(), to allow logging

If the module is provided, the messages will be of the format:

The Kconfig frontend should render options that depend on a
previous option in the submenu of that previous option. But
currently, this breaks for negative dependencies. For example,
option FOO may be rendered in the submenu of option BAR, despite
FOO actually depending on !BAR.
Let's fix this ironic rendering by modifying Kconfig to explicitly
check negative dependencies.
I've only tested locally on x86, but as far as I can tell, this only
changes how 2 options are rendered in the menu:
1. NTFS3_FS, no longer in the NTFS_FS submenu, and
2. MTD_BLOCK_RO, no longer in the MTD_BLOCK submenu.

HID drivers that rely on the HID core to register input devices must
ensure that all private data and capabilities (like force-feedback) are
fully initialized before registration.
When hid_hw_start() is called with HID_CONNECT_HIDINPUT, the input
device is registered immediately. This is racy if the driver attempts to
augment the input device in probe() after starting the hardware.
The correct way to handle this is to use the .input_configured()
callback.
Add documentation and a Coccinelle script to detect and prevent this
anti-pattern.

It's customary for NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro usage to appear immediately
after a function's final closing brace, but checkpatch doesn't know that
yet. As a result, checkpatch --strict incorrectly flags this common
kernel pattern, e.g.,
CHECK: Please use a blank line after function/struct/union/enum declarations
33: FILE: arch/riscv/kernel/traps.c:273:
}
+NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(probe_single_step_handler);
Fix by adding NOKPROBE_SYMBOL to the whitelist of patterns that are
cleared to appear immediately after functions.
