Pull RISC-V updates from Paul Walmsley:
"There is one significant change outside arch/riscv in this pull
request: the addition of a set of KUnit tests for strlen(), strnlen(),
and strrchr().
Otherwise, the most notable changes are to add some RISC-V-specific
string function implementations, to remove XIP kernel support, to add
hardware error exception handling, and to optimize our runtime
unaligned access speed testing.
A few comments on the motivation for removing XIP support. It's been
broken in the RISC-V kernel for months. The code is not easy to
maintain. Furthermore, for XIP support to truly be useful for RISC-V,
we think that compile-time feature switches would need to be added for
many of the RISC-V ISA features and microarchitectural properties that
are currently implemented with runtime patching. No one has stepped
forward to take responsibility for that work, so many of us think it's
best to remove it until clear use cases and champions emerge.
Summary:
- Add Kunit correctness testing and microbenchmarks for strlen(),
strnlen(), and strrchr()
- Add RISC-V-specific strnlen(), strchr(), strrchr() implementations
- Add hardware error exception handling
- Clean up and optimize our unaligned access probe code
- Enable HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT to be able to use generic_access_phys()
- Remove XIP kernel support
- Warn when addresses outside the vmemmap range are passed to
vmemmap_populate()
- Update the ACPI FADT revision check to warn if it's not at least
ACPI v6.6, which is when key RISC-V-specific tables were added to
the specification
- Increase COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to 2048 to match ARM64, x86, PowerPC,
etc.
- Make kaslr_offset() a static inline function, since there's no need
for it to show up in the symbol table
- Add KASLR offset and SATP to the VMCOREINFO ELF notes to improve
kdump support
- Add Makefile cleanup rule for vdso_cfi copied source files, and add
a .gitignore for the build artifacts in that directory
- Remove some redundant ifdefs that check Kconfig macros
- Add missing SPDX license tag to the CFI selftest
- Simplify UTS_MACHINE assignment in the RISC-V Makefile
- Clarify some unclear comments and remove some superfluous comments
- Fix various English typos across the RISC-V codebase"

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
- Migrate more hash algorithms from the traditional crypto subsystem to
lib/crypto/
Like the algorithms migrated earlier (e.g. SHA-*), this simplifies
the implementations, improves performance, enables further
simplifications in calling code, and solves various other issues:
- AES CBC-based MACs (AES-CMAC, AES-XCBC-MAC, and AES-CBC-MAC)
- Support these algorithms in lib/crypto/ using the AES library
and the existing arm64 assembly code
- Reimplement the traditional crypto API's "cmac(aes)",
"xcbc(aes)", and "cbcmac(aes)" on top of the library
- Convert mac80211 to use the AES-CMAC library. Note: several
other subsystems can use it too and will be converted later
- Drop the broken, nonstandard, and likely unused support for
"xcbc(aes)" with key lengths other than 128 bits
- Enable optimizations by default
- GHASH
- Migrate the standalone GHASH code into lib/crypto/
- Integrate the GHASH code more closely with the very similar
POLYVAL code, and improve the generic GHASH implementation to
resist cache-timing attacks and use much less memory
- Reimplement the AES-GCM library and the "gcm" crypto_aead
template on top of the GHASH library. Remove "ghash" from the
crypto_shash API, as it's no longer needed
- Enable optimizations by default
- SM3
- Migrate the kernel's existing SM3 code into lib/crypto/, and
reimplement the traditional crypto API's "sm3" on top of it
- I don't recommend using SM3, but this cleanup is worthwhile
to organize the code the same way as other algorithms
- Testing improvements:
- Add a KUnit test suite for each of the new library APIs
- Migrate the existing ChaCha20Poly1305 test to KUnit
- Make the KUnit all_tests.config enable all crypto library tests
- Move the test kconfig options to the Runtime Testing menu
- Other updates to arch-optimized crypto code:
- Optimize SHA-256 for Zhaoxin CPUs using the Padlock Hash Engine
- Remove some MD5 implementations that are no longer worth keeping
- Drop big endian and voluntary preemption support from the arm64
code, as those configurations are no longer supported on arm64
- Make jitterentropy and samples/tsm-mr use the crypto library APIs

Introduce a benchmarking framework to the string_kunit test suite to
measure the execution efficiency of string functions.
The implementation is inspired by crc_benchmark(), measuring throughput
(MB/s) and latency (ns/call) across a range of string lengths. It
includes a warm-up phase, disables preemption during measurement, and
uses a fixed seed for reproducible results.
This framework allows for comparing different implementations (e.g.,
generic C vs. architecture-optimized assembly) within the KUnit
environment.
Initially, provide a benchmark for strlen().

Add a kernel module that benchmarks queue_work() throughput on an
unbound workqueue to measure pool->lock contention under different
affinity scope configurations (cache vs cache_shard).
The module spawns N kthreads (default: num_online_cpus()), each bound
to a different CPU. All threads start simultaneously and queue work
items, measuring the latency of each queue_work() call. Results are
reported as p50/p90/p95 latencies for each affinity scope.
The affinity scope is switched between runs via the workqueue's sysfs
affinity_scope attribute (WQ_SYSFS), avoiding the need for any new
exported symbols.
The module runs as __init-only, returning -EAGAIN to auto-unload,
and can be re-run via insmod.
Example of the output:
running 50 threads, 50000 items/thread
cpu 6806017 items/sec p50=2574 p90=5068 p95=5818 ns

A new experimental Kconfig option, `RUST_INLINE_HELPERS` is added to
allow C helpers (which were created to allow Rust to call into
inline/macro C functions without having to re-implement the logic in
Rust) to be inlined into Rust crates without performing global LTO.
If the option is enabled, the following is performed:
* For helpers, instead of compiling them to an object file to be linked
into vmlinux, they're compiled to LLVM IR bitcode. Two versions are
generated: one for built-in code (`helpers.bc`) and one for modules
(`helpers_module.bc`, with -DMODULE defined). This ensures that C
macros/inlines that behave differently for modules (e.g. static calls)
function correctly when inlined.
* When a Rust crate or object is compiled, instead of generating an
object file, LLVM bitcode is generated.
* llvm-link is invoked with --internalize to combine the helper bitcode
with the crate bitcode. This step is similar to LTO, but this is much
faster since it only needs to inline the helpers.
* clang is invoked to turn the combined bitcode into a final object file.
* Since clang may produce LLVM bitcode when LTO is enabled, and objtool
requires ELF input, $(cmd_ld_single) is invoked to ensure the object
is converted to ELF before objtool runs.
The --internalize flag tells llvm-link to treat all symbols in
helpers.bc using `internal` linkage [1]. This matches the behavior of
`clang` on `static inline` functions, and avoids exporting the symbol
from the object file.
To ensure that RUST_INLINE_HELPERS is not incompatible with BTF, we pass
the -g0 flag when building helpers. See commit 5daa0c35a1f0 ("rust:
Disallow BTF generation with Rust + LTO") for details.
We have an intended triple mismatch of `aarch64-unknown-none` vs
`aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu`, so we pass --suppress-warnings to llvm-link
to suppress it.
I considered adding some sort of check that KBUILD_MODNAME is not
present in helpers_module.bc, but this is actually not so easy to carry
out because .bc files store strings in a weird binary format, so you
cannot just grep it for a string to check whether it ended up using
KBUILD_MODNAME anywhere.

[ Some changes, apart from the rebase:
- Added "(EXPERIMENTAL)" to Kconfig as the commit mentions.
- Added `depends on ARM64 || X86_64` and `!UML` for now, since this is
experimental, other architectures may require other changes (e.g.
the issues I mentioned in the mailing list for ARM and UML) and they
are not really tested so far. So let arch maintainers pick this up
if they think it is worth it.
- Gated the `cmd_ld_single` step also into the new mode, which also
means that any possible future `objcopy` step is done after the
translation, as expected.
- Added `.gitignore` for `.bc` with exception for existing script.
- Added `part-of-*` for helpers bitcode files as discussed, and
dropped `$(if $(filter %_module.bc,$@),-DMODULE)` since `-DMODULE`
is already there (would be duplicated otherwise).
- Moved `LLVM_LINK` to keep binutils list alphabetized.
- Fixed typo in title.
- Dropped second `cmd_ld_single` commit message paragraph.

Currently the kconfig options for the crypto library KUnit tests appear
in the menu:
-> Library routines
-> Crypto library routines
However, this is the only content of "Crypto library routines". I.e.,
it is empty when CONFIG_KUNIT=n. This is because the crypto library
routines themselves don't have (or need to have) prompts.
Since this usually ends up as an unnecessary empty menu, let's remove
this menu and instead source the lib/crypto/tests/Kconfig file from
lib/Kconfig.debug inside the "Runtime Testing" menu:
-> Kernel hacking
-> Kernel Testing and Coverage
-> Runtime Testing
This puts the prompts alongside the ones for most of the other lib/
KUnit tests. This seems to be a much better match to how the kconfig
menus are organized.

KASAN-enabled kernels with LOCKDEP and PREEMPT_FULL hit
"BUG: MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES too low!" within 9-23 hours of normal
desktop use.
The root cause is a feedback loop between KASAN slab tracking and
lockdep: every KASAN-tracked slab allocation saves a stack trace via
stack_trace_save() -> arch_stack_walk(). The unwinder calls
is_bpf_text_address(), which under PREEMPT_FULL can trigger RCU
deferred quiescent-state processing -> swake_up_one() -> lock_acquire()
-> lockdep validate_chain() -> save_trace(). This means KASAN's own
stack captures indirectly generate new lockdep dependency chains,
consuming the buffer from both directions.
/proc/lockdep_stats at the moment of overflow confirms that
stack-trace entries is the sole exhausted resource:
stack-trace entries: 524288 [max: 524288] <- 100% full
number of stack traces: 22080 <- unique after dedup
dependency chains: 164665 [max: 524288] <- only 31% used
direct dependencies: 45270 [max: 65536] <- 69%
lock-classes: 2811 [max: 8192] <- 34%
22080 genuinely unique traces averaging ~24 frames each fill the
buffer in under a day. The hash-based deduplication (12593b7467f9) is
working correctly -- the traces are simply all different due to the
deep and varied call stacks from GPU + filesystem + Wine/Proton + KASAN
instrumentation.
Raise the LOCKDEP_STACK_TRACE_BITS default from 19 to 21 when KASAN is
enabled (2M entries, +12MB). This is negligible compared to KASAN's
own shadow memory overhead (~12.5% of total RAM). Scale
LOCKDEP_STACK_TRACE_HASH_BITS accordingly to maintain dedup efficiency.

Pull debugobjects fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"A single fix for debugobjects.
The deferred page initialization prevents debug objects from
allocating slab pages until the initialization is complete. That
causes depletion of the pool and disabling of debugobjects.
The reason is that debugobjects uses __GFP_HIGH for allocations as it
might be invoked from arbitrary contexts. When PREEMPT_COUNT is
disabled there is no way to know whether the context is safe to set
__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
This worked until v6.18. Since then allocations w/o a reclaim flag
cause new_slab() to end up in alloc_frozen_pages_nolock_noprof(),
which returns early when deferred page initialization has not yet
completed.
Work around that when PREEMPT_COUNT is enabled as the preempt counter
allows debugobjects to add __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to the GFP flags when
the context is preemtible. When PREEMPT_COUNT is disabled the context
is unknown and the reclaim bit can't be set because the caller might
hold locks which might deadlock in the allocator.
That makes debugobjects depend on PREEMPT_COUNT ||
!DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, which limits the coverage slightly, but
keeps it functional for most cases"

lib/Kconfig.debug: Require a release version of LLVM 22 for context analysis
|
|
Using a prerelease version as a minimum supported version for
CONFIG_WARN_CONTEXT_ANALYSIS was reasonable to do while LLVM 22 was the
development version so that people could immediately build from main and
start testing and validating this in their own code. However, it can be
problematic when using prerelease versions of LLVM 22, such as Android
clang 22.0.1 (the current android mainline compiler) or when bisecting
LLVM between llvmorg-22-init and llvmorg-23-init, to build the kernel,
as all compiler fixes for the context analysis may not be present,
potentially resulting in warnings that can easily turn into errors.
Now that LLVM 22 is released as 22.1.0, upgrade the check to require at
least this version to ensure that a user's toolchain actually has all
the changes needed for a smooth experience with context analysis.

This config option goes way back - it used to be an internal debug
option to random.c (at that point called DEBUG_RANDOM_BOOT), then was
renamed and exposed as a config option as CONFIG_WARN_UNSEEDED_RANDOM,
and then further renamed to the current CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM.
It was all done with the best of intentions: the more limited
rate-limited reports were reporting some cases, but if you wanted to see
all the gory details, you'd enable this "ALL" option.
However, it turns out - perhaps not surprisingly - that when people
don't care about and fix the first rate-limited cases, they most
certainly don't care about any others either, and so warning about all
of them isn't actually helping anything.
And the non-ratelimited reporting causes problems, where well-meaning
people enable debug options, but the excessive flood of messages that
nobody cares about will hide actual real information when things go
wrong.
I just got a kernel bug report (which had nothing to do with randomness)
where two thirds of the the truncated dmesg was just variations of
random: get_random_u32 called from __get_random_u32_below+0x10/0x70 with crng_init=0
and in the process early boot messages had been lost (in addition to
making the messages that _hadn't_ been lost harder to read).
The proper way to find these things for the hypothetical developer that
cares - if such a person exists - is almost certainly with boot time
tracing. That gives you the option to get call graphs etc too, which is
likely a requirement for fixing any problems anyway.
See Documentation/trace/boottime-trace.rst for that option.
And if we for some reason do want to re-introduce actual printing of
these things, it will need to have some uniqueness filtering rather than
this "just print it all" model.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core & protocols:
- A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to
make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls
for small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path.
This generates better and faster code with very small or no text
size increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than
the actual inlined helper.
- Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,
also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace
basis.
- Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.
Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of
buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage
by up to ~30%.
- Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the
RX path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because
user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without
the HBH hint.
- Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is
resolved out of a different interface than the one specified,
aligning IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.
- Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the
rate shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing
a single global rate on the interface.
- Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to
netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations
that are safer in crash scenarios.
- Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information,
saving cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.
- Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most
protocols, avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.
- Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.
- Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.
- Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies
between the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.
- Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks
across different network namespaces.
- Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented
optimizations.
- Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole
to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes
back online.
Driver API:
- Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a
DPLL device via netlink.
- Introduce PHY ports representation to expose multiple front-facing
media ports over a single MAC.

to generalize polarity inversion requirements for differential
signaling.
- Add helper to create, prepare and enable managed clocks.

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
- Rework the rescuer to process work items one-by-one instead of
slurping all pending work items in a single pass.
As there is only one rescuer per workqueue, a single long-blocking
work item could cause high latency for all tasks queued behind it,
even after memory pressure is relieved and regular kworkers become
available to service them.
- Add CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_WQ_STALL_PANIC build-time option and
workqueue.panic_on_stall_time parameter for time-based stall panic,
giving systems more control over workqueue stall handling.
- Replace BUG_ON() with panic() in the stall panic path for clearer
intent and more informative output.

Extend struct printk_info to include the task name, pid, and CPU
number where printk messages originate. This information is captured
at vprintk_store() time and propagated through printk_message to
nbcon_write_context, making it available to nbcon console drivers.
This is useful for consoles like netconsole that want to include
execution context in their output, allowing correlation of messages
with specific tasks and CPUs regardless of where the console driver
actually runs.
The feature is controlled by CONFIG_PRINTK_EXECUTION_CTX, which is
automatically selected by CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC. When disabled,
the helper functions compile to no-ops with no overhead.

Pull irq core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for the interrupt core subsystem:
- Remove the interrupt timing infrastructure
This was added seven years ago to be used for power management
purposes, but that integration never happened.
- Clean up the remaining setup_percpu_irq() users
The memory allocator is available when interrupts can be requested
so there is not need for static irq_action. Move the remaining
users to request_percpu_irq() and delete the historical cruft.
- Warn when interrupt flag inconsistencies are detected in
request*_irq().
Inconsistent flags can lead to hard to diagnose malfunction. The
fallout of this new warning has been addressed in next and the
fixes are coming in via the maintainer trees and the tip
irq/cleanup pull requests.
- Invoke affinity notifier when CPU hotplug breaks affinity
Otherwise the code using the notifier misses the affinity change
and operates on stale information.

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. )

debugobjects uses __GFP_HIGH for allocations as it might be invoked
within locked regions. That worked perfectly fine until v6.18. It still
works correctly when deferred page initialization is disabled and works
by chance when no page allocation is required before deferred page
initialization has completed.
Since v6.18 allocations w/o a reclaim flag cause new_slab() to end up in
alloc_frozen_pages_nolock_noprof(), which returns early when deferred
page initialization has not yet completed. As the deferred page
initialization takes quite a while the debugobject pool is depleted and
debugobjects are disabled.
This can be worked around when PREEMPT_COUNT is enabled as that allows
debugobjects to add __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to the GFP flags when the context
is preemtible. When PREEMPT_COUNT is disabled the context is unknown and
the reclaim bit can't be set because the caller might hold locks which
might deadlock in the allocator.
In preemptible context the reclaim bit is harmless and not a performance
issue as that's usually invoked from slow path initialization context.
That makes debugobjects depend on PREEMPT_COUNT || !DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT.
