Remove an #if 0 block that has been dead since at least Linux 2.6.12. The block was marked "P3: deadwood to debug precise flushes on Swift" and contained a never-compiled alternative implementation of swift_flush_tlb_page(). It also referenced the since-removed srmmu_flush_tlb_page(), dropped in commit 3d5f7d37c8b4 ("sparc32: drop unused functions in pgtsrmmu.h").

2026-06-02sparc/mm: remove register_page_bootmem_info()David Hildenbrand (Arm)1-20/+0
Patch series "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 1)". We want to remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE. As a first step, let's limit the remaining harm to x86 and core code, removing sparc, ppc and s390 leftovers, starting the stepwise removal by removing and simplifying some code. Once a related x86 vmemmap fix [1] is in, we can merge part 2 that will remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE entirely. Tested on x86-64 with hugetlb vmemmap optimization in combination with KMEMLEAK, making sure that the problem reported in dd0ff4d12dd2 ("bootmem: remove the vmemmap pages from kmemleak in put_page_bootmem") does not reappear -- hoping I managed to trigger the original problem. This patch (of 8): sparc does not select CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, therefore, register_page_bootmem_info_node() is a nop. Let's just get rid of register_page_bootmem_info().

2026-04-05sparc: use vmemmap_populate_hugepages for vmemmap_populateChengkaitao1-31/+16
Change sparc's implementation of vmemmap_populate() using vmemmap_populate_hugepages() to streamline the code. Another benefit is that it allows us to eliminate the external declarations of vmemmap_p?d_populate functions and convert them to static functions. Since vmemmap_populate_hugepages may fallback to vmemmap_populate- _basepages, which differs from sparc's original implementation. During the v1 discussion with Mike Rapoport, sparc uses base pages in the kernel page tables, so it should be able to use them in vmemmap as well. Consequently, no additional special handling is required. 1. In the SPARC architecture, reimplement vmemmap_populate using vmemmap_populate_hugepages. 2. Allow the SPARC arch to fallback to vmemmap_populate_basepages(), when vmemmap_alloc_block returns NULL.

2026-04-05mm: cache struct page for empty_zero_page and return it from ZERO_PAGE()Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)1-10/+7
For most architectures every invocation of ZERO_PAGE() does virt_to_page(empty_zero_page). But empty_zero_page is in BSS and it is enough to get its struct page once at initialization time and then use it whenever a zero page should be accessed. Add yet another __zero_page variable that will be initialized as virt_to_page(empty_zero_page) for most architectures in a weak arch_setup_zero_pages() function. For architectures that use colored zero pages (MIPS and s390) rename their setup_zero_pages() to arch_setup_zero_pages() and make it global rather than static. For architectures that cannot use virt_to_page() for BSS (arm64 and sparc64) add override of arch_setup_zero_pages().

2026-04-05arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_pageMike Rapoport (Microsoft)2-11/+4
Reduce 22 declarations of empty_zero_page to 3 and 23 declarations of ZERO_PAGE() to 4. Every architecture defines empty_zero_page that way or another, but for the most of them it is always a page aligned page in BSS and most definitions of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page). Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement colored zero page (MIPS and s390). ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static inline causes severe pain in header dependencies. For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy: * alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only * arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact. * m68k/parisc/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock, although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS will work fine. * sparc64 can have empty_zero_page in BSS rather allocate it, but it can't use virt_to_page() for BSS. Keep it's definition of ZERO_PAGE() but instead of allocating it, make mem_map_zero point to empty_zero_page. * sh: used empty_zero_page for boot parameters at the very early boot. Rename the parameters page to boot_params_page and let sh use the generic empty_zero_page. * hexagon: had an amusing comment about empty_zero_page /* A handy thing to have if one has the RAM. Declared in head.S */ that unfortunately had to go :) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20260211103141.3215197-4-rppt@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) <rppt@kernel.org> Acked-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> [parisc] Tested-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> [parisc] Reviewed-by: Christophe Leroy (CS GROUP) <chleroy@kernel.org> Acked-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Acked-by: Magnus Lindholm <linmag7@gmail.com> [alpha] Acked-by: Dinh Nguyen <dinguyen@kernel.org> [nios2] Acked-by: Andreas Larsson <andreas@gaisler.com> [sparc] Acked-by: David Hildenbrand (Arm) <david@kernel.org> Acked-by: Liam R.

2026-02-21Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argumentLinus Torvalds2-2/+2
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>

Every architecture calls sparse_init() during setup_arch() although the data structures created by sparse_init() are not used until the initialization of the core MM. Beside the code duplication, calling sparse_init() from architecture specific code causes ordering differences of vmemmap and HVO initialization on different architectures. Move the call to sparse_init() from architecture specific code to free_area_init() to ensure that vmemmap and HVO initialization order is always the same.

2026-01-26arch, mm: consolidate initialization of nodes, zones and memory mapMike Rapoport (Microsoft)2-18/+0
To initialize node, zone and memory map data structures every architecture calls free_area_init() during setup_arch() and passes it an array of zone limits. Beside code duplication it creates "interesting" ordering cases between allocation and initialization of hugetlb and the memory map. Some architectures allocate hugetlb pages very early in setup_arch() in certain cases, some only create hugetlb CMA areas in setup_arch() and sometimes hugetlb allocations happen mm_core_init(). With arch_zone_limits_init() helper available now on all architectures it is no longer necessary to call free_area_init() from architecture setup code. Rather core MM initialization can call arch_zone_limits_init() in a single place. This allows to unify ordering of hugetlb vs memory map allocation and initialization. Remove the call to free_area_init() from architecture specific code and place it in a new mm_core_init_early() function that is called immediately after setup_arch().

A per-CPU batch struct is activated when entering lazy MMU mode; its lifetime is the same as the lazy MMU section (it is deactivated when leaving the mode). Preemption is disabled in that interval to ensure that the per-CPU reference remains valid. The generic lazy_mmu layer now tracks whether a task is in lazy MMU mode. We can therefore use the generic helper is_lazy_mmu_mode_active() to tell whether a batch struct is active instead of tracking it explicitly.

2025-09-26sparc: Drop the "-ansi" from the asflagsThomas Huth1-2/+0
In the very early kernel 1.x days, assembler files were pre-processed with the "-traditional" flag. With kernel 1.1.85, the sparc subsystem was changed to use "-ansi" instead while the other parts of the kernel continued to use "-traditional". That "-traditional" got removed from the other architectures in the course of time, but the sparc part kept the "-ansi" until today. This is bad since it comes with some disadvantages nowadays: You have to make sure to not include any header that contains a "//" C++ comment by accident (there are now some in the tree that use these for SPDX identifiers for example), and with "-ansi" we also do not get the pre-defined __ASSEMBLER__ macro which we'd like to use instead of the kernel-only __ASSEMBLY__ macro in the future. Since there does not seem to be any compelling reason anymore to use "-ansi" nowadays, let's simply drop the "-ansi" flag from the sparc subsystem now to get rid of those disadvantages.

2025-09-19sparc64: fix hugetlb for sun4uAnthony Yznaga1-0/+20
An attempt to exercise sparc hugetlb code in a sun4u-based guest running under qemu results in the guest hanging due to being stuck in a trap loop. This is due to invalid hugetlb TTEs being installed that do not have the expected _PAGE_PMD_HUGE and page size bits set. Although the breakage has gone apparently unnoticed for several years, fix it now so there is the option to exercise sparc hugetlb code under qemu. This can be useful because sun4v support in qemu does not support linux guests currently and sun4v-based hardware resources may not be readily available. Fix tested with a 6.15.2 and 6.16-rc6 kernels by running libhugetlbfs tests on a qemu guest running Debian 13.

2025-09-13mm: introduce memdesc_flags_tMatthew Wilcox (Oracle)1-5/+5
Patch series "Add and use memdesc_flags_t". At some point struct page will be separated from struct slab and struct folio. This is a step towards that by introducing a type for the 'flags' word of all three structures. This gives us a certain amount of type safety by establishing that some of these unsigned longs are different from other unsigned longs in that they contain things like node ID, section number and zone number in the upper bits. That lets us have functions that can be easily called by anyone who has a slab, folio or page (but not easily by anyone else) to get the node or zone. There's going to be some unusual merge problems with this as some odd bits of the kernel decide they want to print out the flags value or something similar by writing page->flags and now they'll need to write page->flags.f instead. That's most of the churn here. Maybe we should be removing these things from the debug output? This patch (of 11): Wrap the unsigned long flags in a typedef. In upcoming patches, this will provide a strong hint that you can't just pass a random unsigned long to functions which take this as an argument.

2025-07-24sparc64: remove hugetlb_free_pgd_range()Anthony Yznaga1-119/+0
Patch series "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()". For all architectures that support hugetlb except for sparc, hugetlb_free_pgd_range() just calls free_pgd_range(). It turns out the sparc implementation is essentially identical to free_pgd_range() and can be removed. Remove it and update free_pgtables() to treat hugetlb VMAs the same as others. This patch (of 3): The sparc implementation of hugetlb_free_pgd_range() is identical to free_pgd_range() with the exception of checking for and skipping possible leaf entries at the PUD and PMD levels. These checks are unnecessary because any huge pages have been freed and their PTEs cleared by the time page tables needed to map them are freed. While some huge page sizes do populate the page table with multiple PTEs, they are correctly cleared by huge_ptep_get_and_clear(). To verify this, libhugetlbfs tests were run for 64K, 8M, and 256M page sizes with an instrumented kernel on a qemu guest modified to support the 256M page size. The same tests were used to verify no regressions after applying this patch and were also run on x86 for both 2M and 1G page sizes.

2025-07-09mm: change vm_get_page_prot() to accept vm_flags_t argumentLorenzo Stoakes1-1/+1
Patch series "use vm_flags_t consistently". The VMA flags field vma->vm_flags is of type vm_flags_t. Right now this is exactly equivalent to unsigned long, but it should not be assumed to be. Much code that references vma->vm_flags already correctly uses vm_flags_t, but a fairly large chunk of code simply uses unsigned long and assumes that the two are equivalent. This series corrects that and has us use vm_flags_t consistently. This series is motivated by the desire to, in a future series, adjust vm_flags_t to be a u64 regardless of whether the kernel is 32-bit or 64-bit in order to deal with the VMA flag exhaustion issue and avoid all the various problems that arise from it (being unable to use certain features in 32-bit, being unable to add new flags except for 64-bit, etc.) This is therefore a critical first step towards that goal. At any rate, using the correct type is of value regardless. We additionally take the opportunity to refer to VMA flags as vm_flags where possible to make clear what we're referring to. Overall, this series does not introduce any functional change. This patch (of 3): We abstract the type of the VMA flags to vm_flags_t, however in may places it is simply assumed this is unsigned long, which is simply incorrect. At the moment this is simply an incongruity, however in future we plan to change this type and therefore this change is a critical requirement for doing so. Overall, this patch does not introduce any functional change.

2025-05-11mm: pass mm down to pagetable_{pte,pmd}_ctorKevin Brodsky2-2/+2
Patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables", v2. There has been much confusion around exactly when page table constructors/destructors (pagetable_*_[cd]tor) are supposed to be called. They were initially introduced for user PTEs only (to support split page table locks), then at the PMD level for the same purpose. Accounting was added later on, starting at the PTE level and then moving to higher levels (PMD, PUD). Finally, with my earlier series "Account page tables at all levels" [1], the ctor/dtor is run for all levels, all the way to PGD. I thought this was the end of the story, and it hopefully is for user pgtables, but I was wrong for what concerns kernel pgtables. The current situation there makes very little sense: * At the PTE level, the ctor/dtor is not called (at least in the generic implementation). Specific helpers are used for kernel pgtables at this level (pte_{alloc,free}_kernel()) and those have never called the ctor/dtor, most likely because they were initially irrelevant in the kernel case. * At all other levels, the ctor/dtor is normally called. This is potentially wasteful at the PMD level (more on that later). This series aims to ensure that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables. Besides consistency, the main motivation is to guarantee that ctor/dtor hooks are systematically called; this makes it possible to insert hooks to
