- 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. The syscall's cost was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to load this particular operation. - The 6 patch series "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly reduced. - The 3 patch series "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code. - The 3 patch series ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit. - The 7 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON for memory tiering. - The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan found via code inspection. - The 2 patch series "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price "changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when possible". because "presently, reclaim explicitly ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset settings to violated." "This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently." - The 2 patch series ""Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code. - The 3 patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization. - The 4 patch series "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios. - The 17 patch series "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved. - The 7 patch series "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping ranges of invalid pfns. - The 2 patch series "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode. Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases. - The 2 patch series "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when using JFS. - The 4 patch series "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more appropriate mm/vma.c. - The 6 patch series "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index() function. - The 2 patch series "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that. - The 8 patch series "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the test_memcontrol selftest. - The 3 patch series "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare(). The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging. - The 4 patch series "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one. This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement. - The 6 patch series "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and documents" from SeongJae Park is "yet another batch of miscellaneous DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and documents." - The 7 patch series "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement. - The 4 patch series "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions take folio instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio conversions in the hugetlb code. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCaDt5qgAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA ju6XAP9nTiSfRz8Cz1n5LJZpFKEGzLpSihCYyR6P3o1L9oe3mwEAlZ5+XAwk2I5x Qqb/UGMEpilyre1PayQqOnct3aSL9Ao= =tYYm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-stable-2025-05-31-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "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. - "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. - "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. - "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.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Once again, the changes are dominated by cpufreq updates, but this
time the majority of them are cpufreq core changes, mostly related to
the introduction of policy locking guards and __free() usage, and
fixes related to boost handling.
Still, there is also a significant update of the intel_pstate driver
making it register an energy model when running on a hybrid platform
which is used for enabling energy-aware scheduling (EAS) if the driver
operates in the passive mode (and schedutil is used as the cpufreq
governor for all CPUs which is the passive mode default).
There are some amd-pstate driver updates too, for a good measure,
including the "Requested CPU Min frequency" BIOS option support and
new online/offline callbacks.
In the cpuidle space, the most significant change is the addition of a
C1 demotion on/off sysfs knob to intel_idle which should help some
users to configure their systems more precisely. There is also the
conversion of the PSCI cpuidle driver to a faux device one and there
are two small updates of cpuidle governors.
Device power management is also modified quite a bit, especially the
handling of devices with asynchronous suspend and resume enabled
during system transitions. They are now going to be handled more
asynchronously during suspend transitions and somewhat less
aggressively during resume transitions.
Apart from the above, the operating performance points (OPP) library
is now going to use mutex locking guards and scope-based cleanup
helpers and there is the usual bunch of assorted fixes and code
cleanups.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Use folios for symlinks in the page cache
FUSE already uses folios for its symlinks. Mirror that conversion
in the generic code and the NFS code. That lets us get rid of a few
folio->page->folio conversions in this path, and some of the few
remaining users of read_cache_page() / read_mapping_page()
- Try and make a few filesystem operations killable on the VFS
inode->i_mutex level
- Add sysctl vfs_cache_pressure_denom for bulk file operations
Some workloads need to preserve more dentries than we currently
allow through out sysctl interface
A HDFS servers with 12 HDDs per server, on a HDFS datanode startup
involves scanning all files and caching their metadata (including
dentries and inodes) in memory. Each HDD contains approximately 2
million files, resulting in a total of ~20 million cached dentries
after initialization
To minimize dentry reclamation, they set vfs_cache_pressure to 1.
Despite this configuration, memory pressure conditions can still
trigger reclamation of up to 50% of cached dentries, reducing the
cache from 20 million to approximately 10 million entries. During
the subsequent cache rebuild period, any HDFS datanode restart
operation incurs substantial latency penalties until full cache
recovery completes
To maintain service stability, more dentries need to be preserved
during memory reclamation. The current minimum reclaim ratio (1/100
of total dentries) remains too aggressive for such workload. This
patch introduces vfs_cache_pressure_denom for more granular cache
pressure control
The configuration [vfs_cache_pressure=1,
vfs_cache_pressure_denom=10000] effectively maintains the full 20
million dentry cache under memory pressure, preventing datanode
restart performance degradation
- Avoid some jumps in inode_permission() using likely()/unlikely()
- Avid a memory access which is most likely a cache miss when
descending into devcgroup_inode_permission()
- Add fastpath predicts for stat() and fdput()
- Anonymous inodes currently don't come with a proper mode causing
issues in the kernel when we want to add useful VFS debug assert.
Fix that by giving them a proper mode and masking it off when we
report it to userspace which relies on them not having any mode
- Anonymous inodes currently allow to change inode attributes because
the VFS falls back to simple_setattr() if i_op->setattr isn't
implemented. This means the ownership and mode for every single
user of anon_inode_inode can be changed. Block that as it's either
useless or actively harmful. If specific ownership is needed the
respective subsystem should allocate anonymous inodes from their
own private superblock
- Raise SB_I_NODEV and SB_I_NOEXEC on the anonymous inode superblock
- Add proper tests for anonymous inode behavior
- Make it easy to detect proper anonymous inodes and to ensure that
we can detect them in codepaths such as readahead()
Cleanups:
- Port pidfs to the new anon_inode_{g,s}etattr() helpers
- Try to remove the uselib() system call
- Add unlikely branch hint return path for poll
- Add unlikely branch hint on return path for core_sys_select
- Don't allow signals to interrupt getdents copying for fuse
- Provide a size hint to dir_context for during readdir()
- Use writeback_iter directly in mpage_writepages
- Update compression and mtime descriptions in initramfs
documentation
- Update main netfs API document
- Remove useless plus one in super_cache_scan()
- Remove unnecessary NULL-check guards during setns()
- Add separate separate {get,put}_cgroup_ns no-op cases
Fixes:
- Fix typo in root= kernel parameter description
- Use KERN_INFO for infof()|info_plog()|infofc()
- Correct comments of fs_validate_description()
- Mark an unlikely if condition with unlikely() in
vfs_parse_monolithic_sep()
- Delete macro fsparam_u32hex()
- Remove unused and problematic validate_constant_table()
- Fix potential unsigned integer underflow in fs_name()
- Make file-nr output the total allocated file handles"

rcutorture: Perform more frequent testing of ->gpwrap
Currently, the ->gpwrap is not tested (at all per my testing) due to the requirement of a large delta between a CPU's rdp->gp_seq and its node's rnp->gpseq. This results in no testing of ->gpwrap being set. This patch by default adds 5 minutes of testing with ->gpwrap forced by lowering the delta between rdp->gp_seq and rnp->gp_seq to just 8 GPs. All of this is configurable, including the active time for the setting and a full testing cycle. By default, the first 25 minutes of a test will have the _default_ behavior there is right now (ULONG_MAX / 4) delta. Then for 5 minutes, we switch to a smaller delta causing 1-2 wraps in 5 minutes. I believe this is reasonable since we at least add a little bit of testing for usecases where ->gpwrap is set.

x86/its: Add support for RSB stuffing mitigation
When retpoline mitigation is enabled for spectre-v2, enabling call-depth-tracking and RSB stuffing also mitigates ITS.

x86/its: Add "vmexit" option to skip mitigation on some CPUs
Ice Lake generation CPUs are not affected by guest/host isolation part of ITS. If a user is only concerned about KVM guests, they can now choose a new cmdline option "vmexit" that will not deploy the ITS mitigation when CPU is not affected by guest/host isolation. This saves the performance overhead of ITS mitigation on Ice Lake gen CPUs. When "vmexit" option selected, if the CPU is affected by ITS guest/host isolation, the default ITS mitigation is deployed.

x86/its: Enable Indirect Target Selection mitigation
Indirect Target Selection (ITS) is a bug in some pre-ADL Intel CPUs with eIBRS. It affects prediction of indirect branch and RETs in the lower half of cacheline. Due to ITS such branches may get wrongly predicted to a target of (direct or indirect) branch that is located in the upper half of the cacheline. Scope of impact =============== Guest/host isolation -------------------- When eIBRS is used for guest/host isolation, the indirect branches in the VMM may still be predicted with targets corresponding to branches in the guest. Intra-mode ---------- cBPF or other native gadgets can be used for intra-mode training and disclosure using ITS. User/kernel isolation --------------------- When eIBRS is enabled user/kernel isolation is not impacted. Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB) ----------------------------------------- After an IBPB, indirect branches may be predicted with targets corresponding to direct branches which were executed prior to IBPB. This is mitigated by a microcode update. Add cmdline parameter indirect_target_selection=off|on|force to control the mitigation to relocate the affected branches to an ITS-safe thunk i.e. located in the upper half of cacheline. Also add the sysfs reporting. When retpoline mitigation is deployed, ITS safe-thunks are not needed, because retpoline sequence is already ITS-safe. Similarly, when call depth tracking (CDT) mitigation is deployed (retbleed=stuff), ITS safe return thunk is not used, as CDT prevents RSB-underflow. To not overcomplicate things, ITS mitigation is not supported with spectre-v2 lfence;jmp mitigation. Moreover, it is less practical to deploy lfence;jmp mitigation on ITS affected parts anyways.

PM: hibernate: add configurable delay for pm_test
Turn the default 5 second test delay for hibernation into a configurable module parameter, so users can determine how long to wait in this pseudo-hibernate state before resuming the system. The configurable delay parameter has been added for suspend, so add an analogous one for hibernation. Example (wait 30 seconds); # echo 30 > /sys/module/hibernate/parameters/pm_test_delay # echo core > /sys/power/pm_test Signed-off-by: Zihuan Zhang <zhangzihuan@kylinos.cn> Reviewed-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250507063520.419635-1-zhangzihuan@kylinos.cn [ rjw: Subject and changelog edits ] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

x86/early_printk: Use 'mmio32' for consistency, fix comments
First of all, using 'mmio' prevents proper implementation of 8-bit accessors.
Second, it's simply inconsistent with uart8250 set of options. Rename it to
'mmio32'. While at it, remove rather misleading comment in the documentation.
From now on mmio32 is self-explanatory and pciserial supports not only 32-bit
MMIO accessors.
Also, while at it, fix the comment for the "pciserial" case. The comment
seems to be a copy'n'paste error when mentioning "serial" instead of
"pciserial" (with double quotes). Fix this.
With that, move it upper, so we don't calculate 'buf' twice.
Fixes:

Persistent buffer cleanups and simplifications for v6.15:
It was mistaken that the physical memory returned from "reserve_mem" had to
be vmap()'d to get to it from a virtual address. But reserve_mem already
maps the memory to the virtual address of the kernel so a simple
phys_to_virt() can be used to get to the virtual address from the physical
memory returned by "reserve_mem". With this new found knowledge, the
code can be cleaned up and simplified.
- Enforce that the persistent memory is page aligned
As the buffers using the persistent memory are all going to be
mapped via pages, make sure that the memory given to the tracing
infrastructure is page aligned. If it is not, it will print a warning
and fail to map the buffer.
- Use phys_to_virt() to get the virtual address from reserve_mem
Instead of calling vmap() on the physical memory returned from
"reserve_mem", use phys_to_virt() instead.
As the memory returned by "memmap" or any other means where a physical
address is given to the tracing infrastructure, it still needs to
be vmap(). Since this memory can never be returned back to the buddy
allocator nor should it ever be memmory mapped to user space, flag
this buffer and up the ref count. The ref count will keep it from
ever being freed, and the flag will prevent it from ever being memory
mapped to user space.
- Use vmap_page_range() for memmap virtual address mapping
For the memmap buffer, instead of allocating an array of struct pages,
assigning them to the contiguous phsycial memory and then passing that to
vmap(), use vmap_page_range() instead
- Replace flush_dcache_folio() with flush_kernel_vmap_range()
Instead of calling virt_to_folio() and passing that to
flush_dcache_folio(), just call flush_kernel_vmap_range() directly.
This also fixes a bug where if a subbuffer was bigger than PAGE_SIZE
only the PAGE_SIZE portion would be flushed.

- The 6 patch series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from
Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide compile-time checking of percpu area accesses. This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were reported. In all cases the calling code was founf to be incorrect. - The 4 patch series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code. - The 17 patch series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed. - The 2 patch series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained. - The 5 patch series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime effects are anticipated. - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark. - The 12 patch series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan noticed when working on the swap code. - The 2 patch series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible output. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's handling of large folios. - The 3 patch series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions. - The 3 patch series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields. - The 4 patch series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by huge page sizes. - The 4 patch series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and file-backed mappings. - The 4 patch series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for pte-mapped large folios. - The 18 patch series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one microbenchmark. - The 5 patch series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON docs. - The 27 patch series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed when using CMA on large machines. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages" from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the page's mapped/unmapped status. - The 19 patch series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression operations preemptibly. - The 12 patch series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan encountered while runnimg our selftests. - The 2 patch series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to determine whether a particular page is a guard page. - The 7 patch series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply wasn't being effective. - The 5 patch series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this code. - The 5 patch series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP Kconfig logic. - The 8 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for DAMON's aggregation interval tuning. - The 5 patch series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations.

s390/smp: Add support for HOTPLUG_SMT
Add support for HOTPLUG_SMT. With this the s390 specific "nosmt" kernel command line parameter handling is replaced with common code handling. This means that just specifying "nosmt" still enables smt from an architectural point of view, however only the primary (base) cpu can be set online. Enabling smt during runtime via /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control allows to set secondary cpus online. This way "nosmt" works like on other architectures where enabling and disabling smt during runtime is possible. If "nosmt=force" is specified smt is also still enabled from an architectural point of view, but there is no way to set secondary cpus online during runtime, also like on other architectures. In order to disable smt from architectural point of view, which was previously achieved with the s390 specific "nosmt" command line option, "smt=1" can be used.

tracing updates for v6.15:
- Add option traceoff_after_boot In order to debug kernel boot, it sometimes is helpful to enable tracing via the kernel command line. Unfortunately, by the time the login prompt appears, the trace is overwritten by the init process and other user space start up applications. Adding a "traceoff_after_boot" will disable tracing when the kernel passes control to init which will allow developers to be able to see the traces that occurred during boot. - Clean up the mmflags macros that display the GFP flags in trace events The macros to print the GFP flags for trace events had a bit of duplication. The code was restructured to remove duplication and in the process it also adds some flags that were missed before. - Removed some dead code and scripts/draw_functrace.py draw_functrace.py hasn't worked in years and as nobody complained about it, remove it. - Constify struct event_trigger_ops The event_trigger_ops is just a structure that has function pointers that are assigned when the variables are created.

Power management updates for 6.15-rc1
- Manage sysfs attributes and boost frequencies efficiently from
cpufreq core to reduce boilerplate code in drivers (Viresh Kumar).
- Minor cleanups to cpufreq drivers (Aaron Kling, Benjamin Schneider,
Dhananjay Ugwekar, Imran Shaik, zuoqian).
- Migrate some cpufreq drivers to using for_each_present_cpu() (Jacky
Bai).
- cpufreq-qcom-hw DT binding fixes (Krzysztof Kozlowski).
- Use str_enable_disable() helper in cpufreq_online() (Lifeng Zheng).
- Optimize the amd-pstate driver to avoid cases where call paths end
up calling the same writes multiple times and needlessly caching
variables through code reorganization, locking overhaul and tracing
adjustments (Mario Limonciello, Dhananjay Ugwekar).
- Make it possible to avoid enabling capacity-aware scheduling (CAS) in
the intel_pstate driver and relocate a check for out-of-band (OOB)
platform handling in it to make it detect OOB before checking HWP
availability (Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix dbs_update() to avoid inadvertent conversions of negative integer
values to unsigned int which causes CPU frequency selection to be
inaccurate in some cases when the "conservative" cpufreq governor is
in use (Jie Zhan).
- Update the handling of the most recent idle intervals in the menu
cpuidle governor to prevent useful information from being discarded
by it in some cases and improve the prediction accuracy (Rafael
Wysocki).
- Make it possible to tell the intel_idle driver to ignore its built-in
table of idle states for the given processor, clean up the handling
of auto-demotion disabling on Baytrail and Cherrytrail chips in it,
and update its MAINTAINERS entry (David Arcari, Artem Bityutskiy,
Rafael Wysocki).
- Make some cpuidle drivers use for_each_present_cpu() instead of
for_each_possible_cpu() during initialization to avoid issues
occurring when nosmp or maxcpus=0 are used (Jacky Bai).
- Clean up the Energy Model handling code somewhat (Rafael Wysocki).
- Use kfree_rcu() to simplify the handling of runtime Energy Model
updates (Li RongQing).
- Add an entry for the Energy Model framework to MAINTAINERS as
properly maintained (Lukasz Luba).
- Address RCU-related sparse warnings in the Energy Model code (Rafael
Wysocki).
- Remove ENERGY_MODEL dependency on SMP and allow it to be selected
when DEVFREQ is set without CPUFREQ so it can be used on a wider
range of systems (Jeson Gao).
- Unify error handling during runtime suspend and runtime resume in the
core to help drivers to implement more consistent runtime PM error
handling (Rafael Wysocki).
- Drop a redundant check from pm_runtime_force_resume() and rearrange
documentation related to __pm_runtime_disable() (Rafael Wysocki).
- Rework the handling of the "smart suspend" driver flag in the PM core
to avoid issues hat may occur when drivers using it depend on some
other drivers and clean up the related PM core code (Rafael Wysocki,
Colin Ian King).
- Fix the handling of devices with the power.direct_complete flag set
if device_suspend() returns an error for at least one device to avoid
situations in which some of them may not be resumed (Rafael Wysocki).
- Use mutex_trylock() in hibernate_compressor_param_set() to avoid a
possible deadlock that may occur if the "compressor" hibernation
module parameter is accessed during the registration of a new
ieee80211 device (Lizhi Xu).
- Suppress sleeping parent warning in device_pm_add() in the case when
new children are added under a device with the power.direct_complete
set after it has been processed by device_resume() (Xu Yang).
- Remove needless return in three void functions related to system
wakeup (Zijun Hu).
- Replace deprecated kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page() in the
hibernation core code (David Reaver).
- Remove unused helper functions related to system sleep (David Alan
Gilbert).
- Clean up s2idle_enter() so it does not lock and unlock CPU offline
in vain and update comments in it (Ulf Hansson).
- Clean up broken white space in dpm_wait_for_children() (Geert
Uytterhoeven).
- Update the cpupower utility to fix lib version-ing in it and memory
leaks in error legs, remove hard-coded values, and implement CPU
physical core querying (Thomas Renninger, John B. Wyatt IV, Shuah
Khan, Yiwei Lin, Zhongqiu Han).

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These are dominated by cpufreq updates which in turn are dominated by
updates related to boost support in the core and drivers and
amd-pstate driver optimizations.
Apart from the above, there are some cpuidle updates including a
rework of the most recent idle intervals handling in the venerable
menu governor that leads to significant improvements in some
performance benchmarks, as the governor is now more likely to predict
a shorter idle duration in some cases, and there are updates of the
core device power management code, mostly related to system suspend
and resume, that should help to avoid potential issues arising when
the drivers of devices depending on one another want to use different
optimizations.
There is also a usual collection of assorted fixes and cleanups,
including removal of some unused code.

x86/early_printk: Add support for MMIO-based UARTs
During the bring-up of an x86 board, the kernel was crashing before
reaching the platform's console driver because of a bug in the firmware,
leaving no trace of the boot progress.
The only available method to debug the kernel boot process was via the
platform's MMIO-based UART, as the board lacked an I/O port-based UART,
PCI UART, or functional video output.
Then it turned out that earlyprintk= does not have a knob to configure
the MMIO-mapped UART.
Extend the early printk facility to support platform MMIO-based UARTs
on x86 systems, enabling debugging during the system bring-up phase.
The command line syntax to enable platform MMIO-based UART is:
earlyprintk=mmio,membase[,{nocfg|baudrate}][,keep]
Note, the change does not integrate MMIO-based UART support to:
arch/x86/boot/early_serial_console.c
Also, update kernel parameters documentation with the new syntax and
add the missing 'nocfg' setting to the PCI serial cards description.

RCU pull request for v6.15
This pull request contains the following branches:
docs.2025.02.04a:
- Add broken-timing possibility to stallwarn.rst.
- Improve discussion of this_cpu_ptr(), add raw_cpu_ptr().
- Document self-propagating callbacks.
- Point call_srcu() to call_rcu() for detailed memory ordering.
- Add CONFIG_RCU_LAZY delays to call_rcu() kernel-doc header.
- Clarify RCU_LAZY and RCU_LAZY_DEFAULT_OFF help text.
- Remove references to old grace-period-wait primitives.
srcu.2025.02.05a:
- Introduce srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast(), which is similar to
srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite(): avoid smp_mb()s in lock and unlock at the
cost of calling synchronize_rcu() in synchronize_srcu(). Moreover, by
returning the percpu offset of the counter at srcu_read_lock_fast()
time, srcu_read_unlock_fast() can save extra pointer dereferencing,
which makes it faster than srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite().
srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast() are intended to replace
rcu_read_{un,}lock_trace() if possible.
torture.2025.02.05a:
- Add get_torture_init_jiffies() to return the start time of the test.
- Add a test_boost_holdoff module parameter to allow delaying boosting
tests when building rcutorture as built-in.
- Add grace period sequence number logging at the beginning and end of
failure/close-call results.
- Switch to hexadecimal for the expedited grace period sequence number
in the rcu_exp_grace_period trace point.
- Make cur_ops->format_gp_seqs take buffer length.
- Move RCU_TORTURE_TEST_{CHK_RDR_STATE,LOG_CPU} to bool.
- Complain when invalid SRCU reader_flavor is specified.
- Add FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE Kconfig for testing, which forces SRCU
uses atomics even when percpu ops are NMI safe, and use the Kconfig
for SRCU lockdep testing.
misc.2025.03.04a:
- Split rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult() mask parameter and use for tracing.
- Remove READ_ONCE() for rdp->gpwrap access in __note_gp_changes().
- Fix get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() GP-start detection.
- Move RCU Tasks self-tests to core_initcall().
- Print segment lengths in show_rcu_nocb_gp_state().
- Make RCU watch ct_kernel_exit_state() warning.
- Flush console log from kernel_power_off().
- rcutorture: Allow a negative value for nfakewriters.
- rcu: Update TREE05.boot to test normal synchronize_rcu().
- rcu: Use _full() API to debug synchronize_rcu().
lazypreempt.2025.03.04a: Make RCU handle PREEMPT_LAZY better:
- Fix header guard for rcu_all_qs().
- rcu: Rename PREEMPT_AUTO to PREEMPT_LAZY.
- Update __cond_resched comment about RCU quiescent states.
- Handle unstable rdp in rcu_read_unlock_strict().
- Handle quiescent states for PREEMPT_RCU=n, PREEMPT_COUNT=y.
- osnoise: Provide quiescent states.
- Adjust rcutorture with possible PREEMPT_RCU=n && PREEMPT_COUNT=y
combination.
- Limit PREEMPT_RCU configurations.
- Make rcutorture senario TREE07 and senario TREE10 use PREEMPT_LAZY=y.

- Significant changes throughout the tree to bring Python code up to
current standards and raise the minimum Python required to 3.9. Much of
this is preparatory to replacing the ancient Perl scripts/kernel-doc
horror with a slightly less horrifying Python implementation, expected
for 6.16.
- Update the minimum Sphinx required to 3.4.3, allowing us to remove a
bunch of older compatibility code.
- Rework and improve the generation of the ABI documentation.
(All of the above done by Mauro)
- Lots of translation updates. Alex Shi and Yanteng Si are taking on
responsibility for the Chinese translations going forward; that work will
still get to you via docs-next
- Try to standardize the format for indicating a developer's affiliation in
commit tags.
- Clarify the TAB's role in CoC enforcement actions.
- Try to spell out the rules for when a commit tag can name another
developer without their explicit permission.
Plus lots of other typo fixes and updates.

reboot: add support for configuring emergency hardware protection action
We currently leave the decision of whether to shutdown or reboot to protect hardware in an emergency situation to the individual drivers. This works out in some cases, where the driver detecting the critical failure has inside knowledge: It binds to the system management controller for example or is guided by hardware description that defines what to do. In the general case, however, the driver detecting the issue can't know what the appropriate course of action is and shouldn't be dictating the policy of dealing with it. Therefore, add a global hw_protection toggle that allows the user to specify whether shutdown or reboot should be the default action when the driver doesn't set policy. This introduces no functional change yet as hw_protection_trigger() has no callers, but these will be added in subsequent commits.

mm/hugetlb: add hugetlb_cma_only cmdline option
Add an option to force hugetlb gigantic pages to be allocated using CMA only (if hugetlb_cma is enabled). This avoids a fallback to allocation from the rest of system memory if the CMA allocation fails. This makes the size of hugetlb_cma a hard upper boundary for gigantic hugetlb page allocations. This is useful because, with a large CMA area, the kernel's unmovable allocations will have less room to work with and it is undesirable for new hugetlb gigantic page allocations to be done from that remaining area. It will eat in to the space available for unmovable allocations, leading to unwanted system behavior (OOMs because the kernel fails to do unmovable allocations). So, with this enabled, an administrator can force a hard upper bound for runtime gigantic page allocations, and have more predictable system behavior.

mm/hugetlb: convert cmdline parameters from setup to early
Convert the cmdline parameters (hugepagesz, hugepages, default_hugepagesz and hugetlb_free_vmemmap) to early parameters. Since parse_early_param might run before MMU setups on some platforms (powerpc), validation of huge page sizes as specified in command line parameters would fail. So instead, for the hstate-related values, just record the them and parse them on demand, from hugetlb_bootmem_alloc. The allocation of hugetlb bootmem pages is now done in hugetlb_bootmem_alloc, which is called explicitly at the start of mm_core_init(). core_initcall would be too late, as that happens with memblock already torn down. This change will allow earlier allocation and initialization of bootmem hugetlb pages later on. No functional change intended.

x86/bugs: Make spectre user default depend on MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2
Change the default value of spectre v2 in user mode to respect the CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2 config option. Currently, user mode spectre v2 is set to auto (SPECTRE_V2_USER_CMD_AUTO) by default, even if CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2 is disabled. Set the spectre_v2 value to auto (SPECTRE_V2_USER_CMD_AUTO) if the Spectre v2 config (CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2) is enabled, otherwise set the value to none (SPECTRE_V2_USER_CMD_NONE). Important to say the command line argument "spectre_v2_user" overwrites the default value in both cases. When CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2 is not set, users have the flexibility to opt-in for specific mitigations independently. In this scenario, setting spectre_v2= will not enable spectre_v2_user=, and command line options spectre_v2_user and spectre_v2 are independent when CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2=n.

x86/smp: Drop 32-bit "bigsmp" machine support
The x86-32 kernel used to support multiple platforms with more than eight logical CPUs, from the 1999-2003 timeframe: Sequent NUMA-Q, IBM Summit, Unisys ES7000 and HP F8. Support for all except the latter was dropped back in 2014, leaving only the F8 based DL740 and DL760 G2 machines in this catery, with up to eight single-core Socket-603 Xeon-MP processors with hyperthreading. Like the already removed machines, the HP F8 servers at the time cost upwards of $100k in typical configurations, but were quickly obsoleted by their 64-bit Socket-604 cousins and the AMD Opteron. Earlier servers with up to 8 Pentium Pro or Xeon processors remain fully supported as they had no hyperthreading. Similarly, the more common 4-socket Xeon-MP machines with hyperthreading using Intel or ServerWorks chipsets continue to work without this, and all the multi-core Xeon processors also run 64-bit kernels. While the "bigsmp" support can also be used to run on later 64-bit machines (including VM guests), it seems best to discourage that and get any remaining users to update their kernels to 64-bit builds on these. As a side-effect of this, there is also no more need to support NUMA configurations on 32-bit x86, as all true 32-bit NUMA platforms are already gone.

tracing: Add traceoff_after_boot option
Sometimes tracing is used to debug issues during the boot process. Since the trace buffer has a limited amount of storage, it may be prudent to disable tracing after the boot is finished, otherwise the critical information may be overwritten. With this option, the main tracing buffer will be turned off at the end of the boot process.

cpufreq: intel_pstate: Make it possible to avoid enabling CAS
Capacity-aware scheduling (CAS) is enabled by default by intel_pstate on hybrid systems without SMT, but in some usage scenarios it may be more attractive to place tasks for maximum CPU performance regardless of the extra cost in terms of energy, which is the case on such systems when CAS is not enabled, so introduce a command line option to forbid intel_pstate to enable CAS.

rcutorture: Add a test_boost_holdoff module parameter
This commit adds a test_boost_holdoff module parameter that tells the RCU priority-boosting tests to wait for the specified number of seconds past the start of the rcutorture test. This can be useful when rcutorture is built into the kernel (as opposed to being modprobed), especially on large systems where early start of RCU priority boosting can delay the boot sequence, which adds a full CPU's worth of load onto the system. This can in turn result in pointless stall warnings. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com> |
