"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Remap paths to avoid absolute ones starting with the upcoming Rust
1.95.0 release. This improves build reproducibility, avoids leaking
the exact path and avoids having the same path appear in two forms
The approach here avoids remapping debug information as well, in
order to avoid breaking tools that used the paths to access source
files, which was the previous attempt that needed to be reverted
- Allow 'unused_features' lint for the upcoming Rust 1.96.0 release.
While well-intentioned, we do not benefit much from the new lint
- Emit dependency information into '$(depfile)' directly to avoid a
temporary '.d' file (it was an old approach)
'kernel' crate:
- 'str' module: fix warning under '!CONFIG_BLOCK' by making
'NullTerminatedFormatter' public
- 'cpufreq' module: suppress false positive Clippy warning
'pin-init' crate:
- Remove '#[disable_initialized_field_access]' attribute which was
unsound. This means removing the support for structs with unaligned
fields (through the 'repr(packed)' attribute), for now
And document the load-bearing fact of field accessors (i.e. that
they are required for soundness)
- Replace shadowed return token by 'unsafe'-to-create token in order
to remain sound in the face of the likely upcoming Type Alias Impl
Trait (TAIT) and the next trait solver in upstream Rust"

Starting with the upcoming Rust 1.96.0 (to be released 2026-05-28),
`rustc` introduces the new lint `unused_features` [1], which warns [2]:
warning: feature `used_with_arg` is declared but not used
--> <crate attribute>:1:93
|
1 | #![feature(asm_const,asm_goto,arbitrary_self_types,lint_reasons,offset_of_nested,raw_ref_op,used_with_arg)]
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
= note: `#[warn(unused_features)]` (part of `#[warn(unused)]`) on by default
The original goal of using `-Zcrate-attr` automatically was that there
is a consistent set of features enabled and managed globally for all
Rust kernel code (modulo exceptions like the `rust/` crated).
While we could require crates to enable features manually (even if we
still keep the `-Zallow-features=` list, i.e. removing the `-Zcrate-attr`
list), it is not really worth making all developers worry about it just
for a new lint.
The features are expected to eventually become stable anyway (most already
did), and thus having to remove features in every file that may use them
is not worth it either.
Thus just allow the new lint globally.
The lint actually existed for a long time, which is why `rustc` does
not complain about an unknown lint in the stable versions we support,
but it was "disabled" years ago [3], and now it was made to work again.
For extra context, the new implementation of the lint has already been
improved to avoid linting about features that became stable thanks to
Benno's report and the ensuing discussion [4] [5], but while that helps,
it is still the case that we may have features enabled that are not used
for one reason or another in a particular crate.

kbuild: Leave objtool binary around with 'make clean'
kbuild: install-extmod-build: Package resolve_btfids if necessary
genksyms: Fix parsing a declarator with a preceding attribute
kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS
When building with an out directory (O=), absolute paths can end up in the
file name in `#[track_caller]` or the panic message. This is not desirable
as this leaks the exact path being used to build the kernel and means that
the same location can appear in two forms (relative or absolute).
This is reported by Asahi [1] and is being workaround in [2] previously to
force everything to be absolute path. Using absolute path for everything
solves the inconsistency, however it does not address the reproducibility
issue. So, fix this by remap all absolute paths to srctree to relative path
instead.
This is previously attempted in commit dbdffaf50f ("kbuild, rust: use
-fremap-path-prefix to make paths relative") but that was reverted as
remapping debug info causes some tool (e.g. objdump) to be unable to find
sources. Therefore, use `--remap-path-scope` to only remap macros but leave
debuginfo untouched. `--remap-path-scope` is only stable in Rust 1.95, so
use `rustc-option` to detect its presence. This feature has been available
as `-Zremap-path-scope` for all versions that we support; however due to
bugs in the Rust compiler, it does not work reliably until 1.94. I opted to
not enable it for 1.94 as it's just a single version that we missed.
This change can be validated by building a kernel with O=, strip debug info
on vmlinux, and then check if the absolute path exists in `strings
vmlinux`, e.g. `strings vmlinux |grep \/home`.

The difference between 'make clean' and 'make mrproper' is documented in
'make help' as:
clean - Remove most generated files but keep the config and
enough build support to build external modules
mrproper - Remove all generated files + config + various backup files
After commit 68b4fe32d7 ("kbuild: Add objtool to top-level clean
target"), running 'make clean' then attempting to build an external
module with the resulting build directory fails with
$ make ARCH=x86_64 O=build clean
$ make -C build M=... MO=...
...
/bin/sh: line 1: .../build/tools/objtool/objtool: No such file or directory
as 'make clean' removes the objtool binary.
Split the objtool clean target into mrproper and clean like Kbuild does
and remove all generated artifacts with 'make clean' except for the
objtool binary, which is removed with 'make mrproper'. To avoid a small
race when running the objtool clean target through both objtool_mrproper
and objtool_clean when running 'make mrproper', modify objtool's clean
up find command to avoid using find's '-delete' command by piping the
files into 'xargs rm -f' like the rest of Kbuild does.

Pull VDSO updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Provide the missing 64-bit variant of clock_getres()
This allows the extension of CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME to the vDSO and
finally the removal of 32-bit time types from the kernel and UAPI.
- Remove the useless and broken getcpu_cache from the VDSO
The intention was to provide a trivial way to retrieve the CPU number
from the VDSO, but as the VDSO data is per process there is no way to
make it work.
- Switch get/put_unaligned() from packed struct to memcpy()
The packed struct violates strict aliasing rules which requires to
pass -fno-strict-aliasing to the compiler. As this are scalar values
__builtin_memcpy() turns them into simple loads and stores
- Use __typeof_unqual__() for __unqual_scalar_typeof()
The get/put_unaligned() changes triggered a new sparse warning when
__beNN types are used with get/put_unaligned() as sparse builds add a
special 'bitwise' attribute to them which prevents sparse to evaluate
the Generic in __unqual_scalar_typeof().
Newer sparse versions support __typeof_unqual__() which avoids the
problem, but requires a recent sparse install. So this adds a sanity
check to sparse builds, which validates that sparse is available and
capable of handling it.
- Force inline __cvdso_clock_getres_common()
Compilers sometimes un-inline agressively, which results in function
call overhead and problems with automatic stack variable
initialization.
Interestingly enough the force inlining results in smaller code than
the un-inlined variant produced by GCC when optimizing for size.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Lock debugging:
- Implement compiler-driven static analysis locking context checking,
using the upcoming Clang 22 compiler's context analysis features
(Marco Elver)
We removed Sparse context analysis support, because prior to
removal even a defconfig kernel produced 1,700+ context tracking
Sparse warnings, the overwhelming majority of which are false
positives. On an allmodconfig kernel the number of false positive
context tracking Sparse warnings grows to over 5,200... On the plus
side of the balance actual locking bugs found by Sparse context
analysis is also rather ... sparse: I found only 3 such commits in
the last 3 years. So the rate of false positives and the
maintenance overhead is rather high and there appears to be no
active policy in place to achieve a zero-warnings baseline to move
the annotations & fixers to developers who introduce new code.
Clang context analysis is more complete and more aggressive in
trying to find bugs, at least in principle. Plus it has a different
model to enabling it: it's enabled subsystem by subsystem, which
results in zero warnings on all relevant kernel builds (as far as
our testing managed to cover it). Which allowed us to enable it by
default, similar to other compiler warnings, with the expectation
that there are no warnings going forward. This enforces a
zero-warnings baseline on clang-22+ builds (Which are still limited
in distribution, admittedly)
Hopefully the Clang approach can lead to a more maintainable
zero-warnings status quo and policy, with more and more subsystems
and drivers enabling the feature. Context tracking can be enabled
for all kernel code via WARN_CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ALL=y (default
disabled), but this will generate a lot of false positives.
( Having said that, Sparse support could still be added back,
if anyone is interested - the removal patch is still
relatively straightforward to revert at this stage. )

The LLVM argument is documented to accept one of three forms:
* a literal '1' to use the default 'clang',
* a toolchain prefix path, ending in a trailing '/',
* a version suffix.
All other values are silently treated as '1'. If for example
the user accidentally forgets the trailing '/' of a toolchain prefix,
kbuild will unexpectedly and silently fall back to the system toolchain.
Instead report an error if the user specified an invalid value for LLVM.

The recent changes to get_unaligned() resulted in a new sparse warning:
net/rds/ib_cm.c:96:35: sparse: sparse: incorrect type in argument 1 (different modifiers) @@ expected void * @@ got restricted __be64 const * @@
net/rds/ib_cm.c:96:35: sparse: expected void *
net/rds/ib_cm.c:96:35: sparse: got restricted __be64 const *
The updated get_unaligned_t() uses __unqual_scalar_typeof() to get an
unqualified type. This works correctly for the compilers, but fails for
sparse when the data type is __be64 (or any other __beNN variant).
On sparse runs (C=[12]) __beNN types are annotated with
__attribute__((bitwise)).
That annotation allows sparse to detect incompatible operations on __beNN
variables, but it also prevents sparse from evaluating the _Generic() in
__unqual_scalar_typeof() and map __beNN to a unqualified scalar type, so it
ends up with the default, i.e. the original qualified type of a 'const
__beNN' pointer. That then ends up as the first pointer argument to
builtin_memcpy(), which obviously causes the above sparse warnings.
The sparse git tree supports typeof_unqual() now, which allows to use it
instead of the _Generic() based __unqual_scalar_typeof(). With that sparse
correctly evaluates the unqualified type and keeps the __beNN logic intact.
The downside is that this requires a top of tree sparse build and an old
sparse version will emit a metric ton of incomprehensible error messages
before it dies with a segfault.
Therefore implement a sanity check which validates that the checker is
available and capable of handling typeof_unqual(). Emit a warning if not so
the user can take informed action.
[ tglx: Move the evaluation of USE_TYPEOF_UNQUAL to compiler_types.h so it is
set before use and implement the sanity checker ]

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

Context Analysis is a language extension, which enables statically
checking that required contexts are active (or inactive), by acquiring
and releasing user-definable "context locks". An obvious application is
lock-safety checking for the kernel's various synchronization primitives
(each of which represents a "context lock"), and checking that locking
rules are not violated.
Clang originally called the feature "Thread Safety Analysis" [1]. This
was later changed and the feature became more flexible, gaining the
ability to define custom "capabilities". Its foundations can be found in
"Capability Systems" [2], used to specify the permissibility of
operations to depend on some "capability" being held (or not held).
Because the feature is not just able to express "capabilities" related
to synchronization primitives, and "capability" is already overloaded in
the kernel, the naming chosen for the kernel departs from Clang's
"Thread Safety" and "capability" nomenclature; we refer to the feature
as "Context Analysis" to avoid confusion. The internal implementation
still makes references to Clang's terminology in a few places, such as
`-Wthread-safety` being the warning option that also still appears in
diagnostic messages.

prerequisite that can be built in parallel to other recipes.

Running the full 'make dt_binding_check' is slow. A shortcut is to set
DT_SCHEMA_FILES env variable to a substring of DT schema files to test.
It both limits which examples are validated and which schemas are used
to validate the examples. This is a problem because errors from other
schemas are missed. What makes validation slow is checking all examples,
so we really just need a way to test a single example.
Add a %.yaml target to validate the schema and validate the example:
make example-schema.yaml
The behavior for 'make dt_binding_check DT_SCHEMA_FILES=example-schema'
is unchanged. Really it should mirror dtbs_check and validate all the
examples with a subset of schemas, but there are lots of users of
expecting the existing behavior.

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"

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Add support for 'syn'.
Syn is a parsing library for parsing a stream of Rust tokens into a
syntax tree of Rust source code.
Currently this library is geared toward use in Rust procedural
macros, but contains some APIs that may be useful more generally.
'syn' allows us to greatly simplify writing complex macros such as
'pin-init' (Benno has already prepared the 'syn'-based version). We
will use it in the 'macros' crate too.
'syn' is the most downloaded Rust crate (according to crates.io),
and it is also used by the Rust compiler itself. While the amount
of code is substantial, there should not be many updates needed for
these crates, and even if there are, they should not be too big,
e.g. +7k -3k lines across the 3 crates in the last year.
'syn' requires two smaller dependencies: 'quote' and 'proc-macro2'.
I only modified their code to remove a third dependency
('unicode-ident') and to add the SPDX identifiers. The code can be
easily verified to exactly match upstream with the provided
scripts.
They are all licensed under "Apache-2.0 OR MIT", like the other
vendored 'alloc' crate we had for a while.
Please see the merge commit with the cover letter for more context.
- Allow 'unreachable_pub' and 'clippy::disallowed_names' for
doctests.
Examples (i.e. doctests) may want to do things like show public
items and use names such as 'foo'.
Nevertheless, we still try to keep examples as close to real code
as possible (this is part of why running Clippy on doctests is
important for us, e.g. for safety comments, which userspace Rust
does not support yet but we are stricter).
'kernel' crate:
- Replace our custom 'CStr' type with 'core::ffi::CStr'.
Using the standard library type reduces our custom code footprint,
and we retain needed custom functionality through an extension
trait and a new 'fmt!' macro which replaces the previous 'core'
import.
This started in 6.17 and continued in 6.18, and we finally land the
replacement now. This required quite some stamina from Tamir, who
split the changes in steps to prepare for the flag day change here.
- Replace 'kernel::c_str!' with C string literals.
C string literals were added in Rust 1.77, which produce '&CStr's
(the 'core' one), so now we can write:
c"hi"
instead of:
c_str!("hi")
- Add 'num' module for numerical features.
It includes the 'Integer' trait, implemented for all primitive
integer types.
It also includes the 'Bounded' integer wrapping type: an integer
value that requires only the 'N' least significant bits of the
wrapped type to be encoded:
// An unsigned 8-bit integer, of which only the 4 LSBs are used.
let v = Bounded::<u8, 4>::new::<15>();
assert_eq!(v.get(), 15);
'Bounded' is useful to e.g. enforce guarantees when working with
bitfields that have an arbitrary number of bits.
Values can also be constructed from simple non-constant expressions
or, for more complex ones, validated at runtime.
'Bounded' also comes with comparison and arithmetic operations
(with both their backing type and other 'Bounded's with a
compatible backing type), casts to change the backing type,
extending/shrinking and infallible/fallible conversions from/to
primitives as applicable.
- 'rbtree' module: add immutable cursor ('Cursor').
It enables to use just an immutable tree reference where
appropriate. The existing fully-featured mutable cursor is renamed
to 'CursorMut'.
kallsyms:
- Fix wrong "big" kernel symbol type read from procfs.
'pin-init' crate:
- A couple minor fixes (Benno asked me to pick these patches up for
him this cycle).
Documentation:
- Quick Start guide: add Debian 13 (Trixie).
Debian Stable is now able to build Linux, since Debian 13 (released
2025-08-09) packages Rust 1.85.0, which is recent enough.
We are planning to propose that the minimum supported Rust version
in Linux follows Debian Stable releases, with Debian 13 being the
first one we upgrade to, i.e. Rust 1.85.
MAINTAINERS:
- Add entry for the new 'num' module.
- Remove Alex as Rust maintainer: he hasn't had the time to
contribute for a few years now, so it is a no-op change in
practice.
And a few other cleanups and improvements"

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This has been another busy cycle for documentation, with a lot of
build-system thrashing. That work should slow down from here on out.
- The various scripts and tools for documentation were spread out in
several directories; now they are (almost) all coalesced under
tools/docs/. The holdout is the kernel-doc script, which cannot be
easily moved without some further thought.
- As the amount of Python code increases, we are accumulating modules
that are imported by multiple programs. These modules have been
pulled together under tools/lib/python/ -- at least, for
documentation-related programs. There is other Python code in the
tree that might eventually want to move toward this organization.
- The Perl kernel-doc.pl script has been removed. It is no longer
used by default, and nobody has missed it, least of all anybody who
actually had to look at it.
- The docs build was controlled by a complex mess of makefilese that
few dared to touch. Mauro has moved that logic into a new program
(tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper) that, with any luck at all, will
be far easier to understand and maintain.
- The get_feat.pl program, used to access information under
Documentation/features/, has been rewritten in Python, bringing an

The context depth ("=N") provides the immediate decision path that led
to the problematic code location, showing conditional checks and branch
decisions that caused the warning. This will help us understand why
GCC's value-tracking analysis triggered the warning and makes it easier
to determine whether warnings are legitimate issues or false positives.
For example, an array bounds warning will now show the conditional
statements (like "if (i >= 4)") that established the out-of-bounds access
range, directly connecting the control flow to the warning location.
This is particularly valuable when GCC's interprocedural analysis can
generate warnings that are difficult to understand without seeing the
inferred control flow.
While my testing has shown that "=1" reports enough for finding
the origin of most bounds issues, I have used "=2" here just to be
conservative. Build time measurements with this option off, =1, and =2
are all with noise of each other, so there seems to be no harm in "turning
it up". If we need to, we can make this value configurable in the future.
