2025-09-25arch: Add the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS to all the asm-offsets.cMenglong Dong1-0/+2
The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can happen. For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h, which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first, it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included by it. In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h". And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this purpose. Signed-off-by: Menglong Dong <dongml2@chinatelecom.cn> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org>

2025-09-13ARM: 9458/1: module: Ensure the override of module_arch_freeing_init()Petr Pavlu1-1/+1
The function module_arch_freeing_init() defined in arch/arm/kernel/module.c is supposed to override a weak function of the same name defined in kernel/module/main.c. However, the ARM override is also marked as weak, which means that selecting the correct function unnecessarily depends on the order in which object files with both functions are passed to the linker. Although it happens to be correct at the moment, the proper pattern is to make the ARM override a strong definition.

2025-09-01arch: copy_thread: pass clone_flags as u64Simon Schuster1-1/+1
With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags. However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not changed from the previous type of unsigned long. While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits (CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise. Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of the copy_thread function that is called from copy_process to consistently pass clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on 32-bit architectures.

In preparation for adding Clang sanitizer coverage stack depth tracking that can support stack depth callbacks: - Add the new top-level CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE option which will be implemented either with the stackleak GCC plugin, or with the Clang stack depth callback support. - Rename CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK as needed to CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE, but keep it for anything specific to the GCC plugin itself. - Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn. While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS, since that's the only place it is referenced from.

2025-07-19Add a new optional ",cma" suffix to the crashkernel= command line optionJiri Bohac1-1/+1
Patch series "kdump: crashkernel reservation from CMA", v5. This series implements a way to reserve additional crash kernel memory using CMA. Currently, all the memory for the crash kernel is not usable by the 1st (production) kernel. It is also unmapped so that it can't be corrupted by the fault that will eventually trigger the crash. This makes sense for the memory actually used by the kexec-loaded crash kernel image and initrd and the data prepared during the load (vmcoreinfo, ...). However, the reserved space needs to be much larger than that to provide enough run-time memory for the crash kernel and the kdump userspace. Estimating the amount of memory to reserve is difficult. Being too careful makes kdump likely to end in OOM, being too generous takes even more memory from the production system. Also, the reservation only allows reserving a single contiguous block (or two with the "low" suffix). I've seen systems where this fails because the physical memory is fragmented. By reserving additional crashkernel memory from CMA, the main crashkernel reservation can be just large enough to fit the kernel and initrd image, minimizing the memory taken away from the production system. Most of the run-time memory for the crash kernel will be memory previously available to userspace in the production system. As this memory is no longer wasted, the reservation can be done with a generous margin, making kdump more reliable. Kernel memory that we need to preserve for dumping is normally not allocated from CMA, unless it is explicitly allocated as movable. Currently this is only the case for memory ballooning and zswap. Such movable memory will be missing from the vmcore. User data is typically not dumped by makedumpfile. When dumping of user data is intended this new CMA reservation cannot be used. There are five patches in this series: The first adds a new ",cma" suffix to the recenly introduced generic crashkernel parsing code. parse_crashkernel() takes one more argument to store the cma reservation size. The second patch implements reserve_crashkernel_cma() which performs the reservation. If the requested size is not available in a single range, multiple smaller ranges will be reserved. The third patch updates Documentation/, explicitly mentioning the potential DMA corruption of the CMA-reserved memory. The fourth patch adds a short delay before booting the kdump kernel, allowing pending DMA transfers to finish. The fifth patch enables the functionality for x86 as a proof of concept. There are just three things every arch needs to do: - call reserve_crashkernel_cma() - include the CMA-reserved ranges in the physical memory map - exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the memory available through /proc/vmcore by excluding them from the vmcoreinfo PT_LOAD ranges. Adding other architectures is easy and I can do that as soon as this series is merged. With this series applied, specifying crashkernel=100M craskhernel=1G,cma on the command line will make a standard crashkernel reservation of 100M, where kexec will load the kernel and initrd. An additional 1G will be reserved from CMA, still usable by the production system. The crash kernel will have 1.1G memory available. The 100M can be reliably predicted based on the size of the kernel and initrd. The new cma suffix is completely optional. When no crashkernel=size,cma is specified, everything works as before. This patch (of 5): Add a new cma_size parameter to parse_crashkernel(). When not NULL, call __parse_crashkernel to parse the CMA reservation size from "crashkernel=size,cma" and store it in cma_size. Set cma_size to NULL in all calls to parse_crashkernel().

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull VDSO infrastructure updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Consolidate the VDSO storage The VDSO data storage and data layout has been largely architecture specific for historical reasons. That increases the maintenance effort and causes inconsistencies over and over. There is no real technical reason for architecture specific layouts and implementations. The architecture specific details can easily be integrated into a generic layout, which also reduces the amount of duplicated code for managing the mappings. Convert all architectures over to a unified layout and common mapping infrastructure. This splits the VDSO data layout into subsystem specific blocks, timekeeping, random and architecture parts, which provides a better structure and allows to improve and update the functionalities without conflict and interaction. - Rework the timekeeping data storage The current implementation is designed for exposing system timekeeping accessors, which was good enough at the time when it was designed. PTP and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) change that as there are requirements to expose independent PTP clocks, which are not related to system timekeeping. Replace the monolithic data storage by a structured layout, which allows to add support for independent PTP clocks on top while reusing both the data structures and the time accessor implementations. * tag 'timers-vdso-2025-03-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (55 commits) sparc/vdso: Always reject undefined references during linking x86/vdso: Always reject undefined references during linking vdso: Rework struct vdso_time_data and introduce struct vdso_clock vdso: Move architecture related data before basetime data powerpc/vdso: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock arm64/vdso: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock x86/vdso: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock time/namespace: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/namespace: Rename timens_setup_vdso_data() to reflect new vdso_clock struct vdso/vsyscall: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare helper functions for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_coarse_timens() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_coarse() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_hres_timens() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_hres() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/helpers: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/datapage: Define vdso_clock to prepare for multiple PTP clocks vdso: Make vdso_time_data cacheline aligned arm64: Make asm/cache.h compatible with vDSO ...

2025-01-28treewide: const qualify ctl_tables where applicableJoel Granados1-1/+1
Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls, loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net, drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function. Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata. This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the proc_handlers. Created this by running an spatch followed by a sed command: Spatch: virtual patch @ depends on !(file in "net") disable optional_qualifier @ identifier table_name != { watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, iwcm_ctl_table, ucma_ctl_table, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls, loadpin_sysctl_table }; @@ + const struct ctl_table table_name [] = { ... }; sed: sed --in-place \ -e "s/struct ctl_table .table = &uts_kern/const struct ctl_table *table = \&uts_kern/" \ kernel/utsname_sysctl.c Reviewed-by: Song Liu <song@kernel.org> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org> # for kernel/trace/ Reviewed-by: Martin K.

2025-01-25mm/memblock: add memblock_alloc_or_panic interfaceGuo Weikang1-8/+2
Before SLUB initialization, various subsystems used memblock_alloc to allocate memory. In most cases, when memory allocation fails, an immediate panic is required. To simplify this behavior and reduce repetitive checks, introduce `memblock_alloc_or_panic`. This function ensures that memory allocation failures result in a panic automatically, improving code readability and consistency across subsystems that require this behavior.

This removes duplicate implementations from architecture-specific files in arch/arm, arch/arm64, arch/powerpc, and arch/riscv, reducing code duplication and improving maintainability. The new implementation retains architecture-specific behavior for CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_KEXEC_CLEAR_VM_FORWARD, which was previously implemented for ARM64. When enabled (currently for ARM64), it clears the active state of interrupts forwarded to virtual machines (VMs) before handling other interrupt masking operations.
