Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:
 "Major changes:

   - Introduce scalar evolution (SCEV) analysis in the verifier.

     It infers how registers and stack slots change in a loop and lets
     the verifier check bounded loops with induction variables as ranges
     instead of walking every iteration. The number of processed insns
     drops ten fold in programs with loops (Eduard Zingerman)

   - Add 'callx' instruction: indirect call of a static BPF subprogram.

     The address is taken with ld_imm64 or loaded from read-only data.
     Supported by x86-64, arm64 and riscv64 JITs (Alexei Starovoitov, Pu
     Lehui)

   - Add unwind_goto and unwind_exit instructions, so that Rust panic or
     C++ exception can run destructors of every frame it passes through.
     The normal path is free of unwind code. Supported by x86-64 and
     arm64 JITs (Alexei Starovoitov)

   - Support programs compiled by rust-bpf: treat load and store through
     a number as arena access with BPF_F_ARENA_SCALAR, accept rust names
     in BTF (Alexei Starovoitov)

   - Raise BPF program stack size from 512 bytes to 2 KiB on x86-64 and
     arm64 (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi)

   - Support struct, union and __int128 up to 16 bytes passed and
     returned by value in BPF subprograms and kfuncs, and fix x86-64 and
     arm64 trampolines for such arguments (Yonghong Song)

   - Introduce a common way to attach struct_ops to a cgroup via
     bpf_link. bpf_tcp_ops is the first user and mirrors TCP sock_ops
     callbacks (Martin KaFai Lau, Amery Hung)

   - Describe inlined functions in BTF. New kinds tell where the inline
     sites are and how to fetch the arguments there.

     CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_INLINE keeps it apart from the main BTF in
     .BTF.inline section or in btf_vmlinux_inline.ko (Alan Maguire)

   - Fix many memory safety, lifetime and locking bugs in BPF core,
     verifier, iterators, local storage, dynptr, devmap, cpumap and
     seg6local (Josef Bacik, Alexei Starovoitov)

   - Diff stat is dominated by selftests and by removal of
     lib/test_bpf.c. Its 16k lines of instruction tests were converted
     to BPF selftests that BPF CI runs on every architecture it covers
     (Daniel Borkmann)

  Other features and fixes:

   - Add KASAN checks to memory accesses of JITed programs on x86-64
     (Alexis Lothoré)

   - Complete unification of helper, kfunc and subprog argument checks
     in the verifier (Amery Hung)

   - Add bpf_copy_from_user_mm[_str]() kfuncs (Anastasios Papagiannis)

   - Various features and fixes (Daniel Borkmann):
       - Add .bpf keyring for program signature verification, modelled
         after dm-verity keyring, and support ML-DSA in signing tools
       - Emit shorter and faster code in x86-64 JIT for patterns that
         LLVM generates
       - Fix various issues in gotox handling

   - Let BPF LSM set xattrs at inode creation with bpf_inode_init_xattr()
     (David Windsor, Daniel Borkmann)

   - Use sleepable page allocation in sleepable arena paths. Fix races
     between arena free, allocation and user page fault (Emil Tsalapatis)

   - Switch BPF crypto from lskcipher to AES-CBC and AES-ECB libraries
     (Eric Biggers)

   - Add bpf_proactive_reclaim() kfunc (Hui Zhu)

   - Render decl_tags in libbpf btf_dump and add tests for bpftool C
     dump (Ihor Solodrai)

   - Speed up tracing_multi attach on x86 (Jiri Olsa)

   - Various features and fixes (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi):
       - Add BPF_PROG_STREAM_OPEN command to read BPF streams through a
         file descriptor with poll support
       - Let kernel structs publish arena pointers with __arena type tag
       - Fix __uninit kfunc output buffers and fastcall rewrite with
         indirect stack accesses
       - Refuse CO-RE relocations for signed programs

   - Add enqueue_rcvq and dequeue_rcvq hooks to bpf_tcp_ops to adjust
     sk_rcvlowat and avoid unnecessary wakeups (Kuniyuki Iwashima)

   - Add bpf_ksock_sendto() kfunc and allow ksock connect and send from
     bpf_wq (Mahe Tardy)

   - Fix racy plt target update in arm64 bpf_arch_text_poke()
     (Matthew Wood)

   - Restructure BPF selftests Makefile as a layered build
     (Mykola Lysenko)

   - Speed up hash map lookups for u32 and u64 keys (Mykyta Yatsenko)

   - Add signed div/mod, movsx, bswap and gotol to MIPS JITs, signed
     div/mod to parisc JITs (Nicholas Dudar, Johan Almbladh)

   - Fix stack overflow in build ID parser on 32-bit (Nickolai
     Zeldovich)

   - Add stack arguments, signed arena loads and gotox to riscv64 JIT.
     Pu Lehui is now co-maintainer of riscv BPF JITs (Pu Lehui, Chen
     Pei, Feng Jiang)

   - Add bpf_call_rcu() and bpf_call_rcu_tasks_trace() kfuncs. Support
     fetching and/or/xor atomics in arena on x86-64 (Puranjay Mohan)

   - Fix flaky selftests, selftests with clang 23 and bpf-gcc
     (Qiliang Yuan, KaFai Wan, Vineet Gupta)

   - Fix builds broken by fatal resolve_btfids warnings, BTF generation
     on ARC, and define arch_cmpxchg_local() on arc, hexagon and
     openrisc (Sasha Levin)

   - Reduce memory use of hash maps by up to 50% per element
     (T.J. Mercier)

   - Mark pointer fields of sched_ext ops arguments as trusted (Tejun
     Heo)

   - Remove legacy bpf_asm, bpf_dbg and bpf_jit_disasm tools (Xia Yan)

   - Fix index overflow in queue and stack maps, arena range tree after
     allocation failure, tail call loop after freplace detach, lost
     signal in bpf_send_signal() (Yuan Chen)

   - Many more fixes and cleanups"

<title>kbuild, btf: Expose vmlinux inline BTF through sysfs</title>

Expose BTF inline-location information from vmlinux .BTF.inline
sections in /sys/kernel/btf as vmlinux.inline. Embedded vmlinux
inline BTF supports read-only mmap().

Provide runtime support for a module-delivered vmlinux inline BTF
carrier. Its link record binds the carrier module name, BTF size, and
SHA-256 digest to the running kernel before its data is made available
through a lazy vmlinux.inline sysfs attribute. The carrier is handled
before ordinary module BTF registration, so its incidental .BTF data is
not exposed.

Make CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_INLINE tristate. When configured as a
module, retain vmlinux final split inline BTF for
btf_vmlinux_inline.ko instead of embedding it in vmlinux.

Reserve .BTF.inline.link in vmlinux and extend the final
resolve_btfids patch pass to bind btf_vmlinux_inline to the raw
vmlinux.BTF.inline payload. This preserves the normal built-in
configuration while allowing the large inline BTF payload to load on
demand.

Normal module inline BTF is handled separately, after its
references have been relocated against the final module BTF.

<title>kbuild: add header check facility as a manually run static analyzer</title>

<id>26d665bef44fa15f7551ee1efc19a1df331d6bbc</id>
<content type='text'>
There have been various attempts at adding a header test or check
mechanism in the kernel build system. The header check primarily
consists of ensuring headers are self-contained, have include guards,
and, in some cases, pass kernel-doc.

The main problems have been:

- The dependency tracking creates undesirable artefacts (infamously also
  known as disgusting turds) in the build directory.

- Gating the feature behind a kconfig option is complicated due to
  allyesconfig builds. It's possible, but requires a verbose and
  confusing negative proxy config option.

- Naming the dependency tracking files with a dot prefix or placing them
  in a dot prefixed subdirectory in the build directory to hide them has
  been exceedingly difficult to achieve. (In part due to some Makefiles
  building files in subdirectory hierarchies.)

- The debate which headers, if any, should really be self-contained is
  virtually open-ended.

Approach the problem from a slightly different angle. Add a top level
"headercheck" static analysis target which you have to explicitly run,
and where you have to explicitly state which headers to check:

$ make HEADER_CHECK="(headers|dirs)" headercheck

For example:

$ make HEADER_CHECK="include/drm drivers/gpu/drm/drm_draw_internal.h" headercheck

You can specify multiple path/to/header.h or path/to/dir, relative to
$(srctree), where path/to/dir is recursively scanned for any .h files.

Add a generic %.header-check rule in scripts/Makefile.build to support
this. Note that this rule should *not* be used in, say, driver or
subsystem makefile targets, precisely because of the problems listed
above.

While this still generates the .header-check dependency tracking
artefacts in the build directory, you will only get them as a result of
manually running 'make headercheck', not as part of the regular build.

This approach also allows anyone to check any headers in the tree, with
no makefile modification or kconfig changes required. What you do with
the results is up to you, and the header check facility does not enforce
anything like it would as part of the regular build.

There have been various attempts at adding a header test or check
mechanism in the kernel build system. The header check primarily
consists of ensuring headers are self-contained, have include guards,
and, in some cases, pass kernel-doc.

The main problems have been:

- The dependency tracking creates undesirable artefacts (infamously also
  known as disgusting turds) in the build directory.

- Gating the feature behind a kconfig option is complicated due to
  allyesconfig builds. It's possible, but requires a verbose and
  confusing negative proxy config option.

- Naming the dependency tracking files with a dot prefix or placing them
  in a dot prefixed subdirectory in the build directory to hide them has
  been exceedingly difficult to achieve. (In part due to some Makefiles
  building files in subdirectory hierarchies.)

- The debate which headers, if any, should really be self-contained is
  virtually open-ended.

Approach the problem from a slightly different angle. Add a top level
"headercheck" static analysis target which you have to explicitly run,
and where you have to explicitly state which headers to check:

$ make HEADER_CHECK="(headers|dirs)" headercheck

For example:

$ make HEADER_CHECK="include/drm drivers/gpu/drm/drm_draw_internal.h" headercheck

You can specify multiple path/to/header.h or path/to/dir, relative to
$(srctree), where path/to/dir is recursively scanned for any .h files.

Add a generic %.header-check rule in scripts/Makefile.build to support
this. Note that this rule should *not* be used in, say, driver or
subsystem makefile targets, precisely because of the problems listed
above.

While this still generates the .header-check dependency tracking
artefacts in the build directory, you will only get them as a result of
manually running 'make headercheck', not as part of the regular build.

This approach also allows anyone to check any headers in the tree, with

 "Here is a "big" set of SPDX-like patches for 7.2-rc1. It is the
  addition of the ability for the kernel build process to generate a
  Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) in the SPDX format, that matches up
  exactly with just the files that are actually built for the specific
  kernel image generated.

  To generate a sbom, after the kernel has been built, just do:
	make sbom
  and marvel at the JSON file that is generated...

  This is needed by users for environments in which a SBOM is required
  (medical, automotive, anything shipped in the EU, etc.) and cuts down
  by a massive size the "naive" SBOM solution that many vendors have
  done by just including _all_ of the kernel files in the resulting
  document.

  This result is still a giant JSON file, that I am told parses
  properly, so we just have to trust that it is properly inclusive as
  attempting to parse that thing by hand is impossible.

  The scripts here are self-contained python scripts, no additional
  libraries or tools to create the SBOM are needed, which is important
  for many build systems. Overall it's just a bit over 4000 lines of
  "simple" python code, the most complex part is the regex matching
  lines, but those are nothing compared to what we maintain in
  scripts/checkpatch.pl today...

  The various parts where the tool touches the kbuild subsystem have
  been acked by the kbuild maintainer, so all should be good here.

  All of these patches have been in linux-next for weeks with no
  reported problems"

 "This one is big due to the vendoring of the `zerocopy` library, which
  allows us to replace a bunch of `unsafe` code dealing with conversions
  between byte sequences and other types with safe alternatives. More
  details on that below (and in its merge commit).

  Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Introduce support for the 'zerocopy' library [1][2]:

         Fast, safe, compile error. Pick two.

         Zerocopy makes zero-cost memory manipulation effortless. We write
         `unsafe` so you don't have to.

     It essentially provides derivable traits (e.g. 'FromBytes') and
     macros (e.g. 'transmute!') for safely converting between byte
     sequences and other types. Having such support allows us to remove
     some 'unsafe' code.

     It is among the most downloaded Rust crates and it is also used by
     the Rust compiler itself.

     It is licensed under "BSD-2-Clause OR Apache-2.0 OR MIT".

     The crates are imported essentially as-is (only +2/-3 lines needed
     to be adapted), plus SPDX identifiers. Upstream has since added the
     SPDX identifiers as well as one of the tweaks at my request, thus
     reducing our future diffs on updates -- I keep the details in one
     of our usual live lists [3].

     In total, it is about ~39k lines added, ~32k without counting
     'benches/' which are just for documentation purposes.

     The series includes a few Kbuild and rust-analyzer improvements and
     an example patch using it in Nova, removing one 'unsafe impl'.

     I checked that the codegen of an isolated example function (similar
     to the Nova patch on top) is essentially identical. It also turns
     out that (for that particular case) the 'zerocopy' version, even
     with 'debug-assertions' enabled, has no remaining panics, unlike a
     few in the current code (since the compiler can prove the remaining
     'ub_checks' statically).

     So their "fast, safe" does indeed check out -- at least in that
     case.

   - Support AutoFDO. This allows Rust code to be profiled and optimized
     based on the profile. Tested with Rust Binder: ~13% slower without
     AutoFDO in the binderAddInts benchmark (using an app-launch
     benchmark for the profile).

   - Support Software Tag-Based KASAN.

     In addition, fix KASAN Kconfig by requiring Clang.

   - Add Kconfig options for each existing Rust KUnit test suite, such
     as 'CONFIG_RUST_BITMAP_KUNIT_TEST'.

     They are placed within a new menu, 'CONFIG_RUST_KUNIT_TESTS', in
     the new 'rust/kernel/Kconfig.test' file.

   - Support the upcoming Rust 1.98.0 release (expected 2026-08-20):
     lint cleanups and an unstable flag rename.

   - Disable 'rustdoc' documentation inlining for all prelude items,
     which bloats the generated documentation.

   - Ignore (in Git) and clean (in Kbuild) the (rarely) 'rustc'-generated
     '*.long-type-*.txt' files.

  'kernel' crate:

   - Add new 'bitfield' module with the 'bitfield!' macro (extracted
     from the existing 'register!' one), which declares integer types
     that are split into distinct bit fields of arbitrary length.

     Each field is a 'Bounded' of the appropriate bit width (ensuring
     values are properly validated and avoiding implicit data loss) and
     gets several generated getters and setters (infallible, 'const' and
     fallible) as well as associated constants ('_MASK', '_SHIFT' and
     '_RANGE'). It also supports fields that can be converted from/to
     custom types, either fallibly ('?=&gt;') or infallibly ('=&gt;').

     For instance:

         bitfield! {
             struct Rgb(u16) {
                 15:11 blue;
                 10:5 green;
                 4:0 red;
             }
         }

         // Compile-time checks.
         let color = Rgb::zeroed().with_const_green::&lt;0x1f&gt;();

         assert_eq!(color.green(), 0x1f);
         assert_eq!(color.into_raw(), 0x1f &lt;&lt; Rgb::GREEN_SHIFT);

     Add as well documentation and a test suite for it, as usual; and
     update the 'register!' macro to use it.

     It will be maintained by Alexandre Courbot (with Yury Norov as
     reviewer) under a new 'MAINTAINERS' entry: 'RUST [BITFIELD]'.

   - 'ptr' module: rework index projection syntax into keyworded syntax
     and introduce panicking variant.

     The keyword syntax ('build:', 'try:', 'panic:') is more explicit
     and paves the way of perhaps adding more flavors in the future,
     e.g. an 'unsafe' index projection.

     For instance, projections now look like this:

         fn f(p: *const [u8; 32]) -&gt; Result {
             // Ok, within bounds, checked at build time.
             project!(p, [build: 1]);

             // Build error.
             project!(p, [build: 128]);

             // `OutOfBound` runtime error (convertible to `ERANGE`).
             project!(p, [try: 128]);

             // Runtime panic.
             project!(p, [panic: 128]);

             Ok(())
         }

     Update as well the users, which now look like e.g.

         // Pointer to the first entry of the GSP message queue.
         let data = project!(self.0.as_ptr(), .gspq.msgq.data[build: 0]);

   - 'build_assert' module: make the module the home of its macros
     instead of rendering them twice.

   - 'sync' module: add 'UniqueArc::as_ptr()' associated function.

   - 'alloc' module:

       - Fix the 'Vec::reserve()' doctest to properly account for the
         existing vector length in the capacity assertion.

       - Fix an incorrect operator in the 'Vec::extend_with()' 'SAFETY'
         comment; add a doc test demonstrating basic usage and the
         zero-length case.

   - Clean imports across several modules to follow the "kernel
     vertical" import style in order to minimize conflicts.

  'pin-init' crate:

   - User visible changes:

       - Do not generate 'non_snake_case' warnings for identifiers that
         are syntactically just users of a field name. This would allow
         all '#[allow(non_snake_case)]' in nova-core to be removed,
         which Gary will send to the nova tree next cycle.

       - Filter non-cfg attributes out properly in derived structs. This
         improves pin-init compatibility with other derive macros.

       - Insert projection types' where clause properly.

   - Other changes:

       - Bump MSRV to 1.82, plus associated cleanups.

       - Overhaul how init slots are projected. The new approach is
         easier to justify with safety comments.

       - Mark more functions as inline, which should help mitigate the
         super-long symbol name issue due to lack of inlining.

  rust-analyzer:

   - Support '--envs' for passing env vars for crates like 'zerocopy'.

  'MAINTAINERS':

   - Add the following reviewers to the 'RUST' entry:
       - Daniel Almeida
       - Tamir Duberstein
       - Alexandre Courbot
       - Onur Özkan

     They have been involved in the Rust for Linux project for about 7
     collective years and bring expertise across several domains, which
     will be very useful to have around in the future.

     Thanks everyone for stepping up!

  And some other fixes, cleanups and improvements"

     instead of rendering them twice.

   - 'sync' module: add 'UniqueArc::as_ptr()' associated function.

   - 'alloc' module:

       - Fix the 'Vec::reserve()' doctest to properly account for the
         existing vector length in the capacity assertion.

       - Fix an incorrect operator in the 'Vec::extend_with()' 'SAFETY'
         comment; add a doc test demonstrating basic usage and the
         zero-length case.

   - Clean imports across several modules to follow the "kernel
     vertical" import style in order to minimize conflicts.

  'pin-init' crate:

   - User visible changes:

       - Do not generate 'non_snake_case' warnings for identifiers that
         are syntactically just users of a field name. This would allow
         all '#[allow(non_snake_case)]' in nova-core to be removed,
         which Gary will send to the nova tree next cycle.

       - Filter non-cfg attributes out properly in derived structs. This
         improves pin-init compatibility with other derive macros.

       - Insert projection types' where clause properly.

   - Other changes:

       - Bump MSRV to 1.82, plus associated cleanups.

       - Overhaul how init slots are projected. The new approach is
         easier to justify with safety comments.

       - Mark more functions as inline, which should help mitigate the
         super-long symbol name issue due to lack of inlining.

  rust-analyzer:

   - Support '--envs' for passing env vars for crates like 'zerocopy'.

  'MAINTAINERS':

   - Add the following reviewers to the 'RUST' entry:
       - Daniel Almeida
       - Tamir Duberstein
       - Alexandre Courbot
       - Onur Özkan

     They have been involved in the Rust for Linux project for about 7
     collective years and bring expertise across several domains, which
     will be very useful to have around in the future.

     Thanks everyone for stepping up!

  And some other fixes, cleanups and improvements"

<title>kbuild: distributed build support for Clang ThinLTO</title>

<id>9f2aee8f7d1842be08da860e45265d30dba0d1f7</id>
<content type='text'>
Add distributed ThinLTO build support for the Linux kernel.
This new mode offers several advantages: (1) Increased
flexibility in handling user-specified build options.
(2) Improved user-friendliness for developers. (3) Greater
convenience for integrating with objtool and livepatch.

Note that "distributed" in this context refers to a term
that differentiates in-process ThinLTO builds by invoking
backend compilation through the linker, not necessarily
building in distributed environments.

Distributed ThinLTO is enabled via the
`CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN_DIST` Kconfig option. For example:
 &gt; make LLVM=1 defconfig
 &gt; scripts/config -e LTO_CLANG_THIN_DIST
 &gt; make LLVM=1 oldconfig
 &gt; make LLVM=1 vmlinux -j &lt;..&gt;

The build flow proceeds in four stages:
  1. Perform FE compilation, mirroring the in-process ThinLTO mode.
  2. Thin-link the generated IR files and object files.
  3. Find all IR files and perform BE compilation, using the flags
    stored in the .*.o.cmd files.
  4. Link the BE results to generate the final vmlinux.o.

NOTE: This patch currently implements the build for the main kernel
image (vmlinux) only. Kernel module support is planned for a
subsequent patch.

Tested on the following arch: x86, arm64, loongarch, and
riscv.

<title>.gitignore: ignore rustc long type txt files</title>

When rustc prints an error containing a long type that doesn't fit in a
line, it will write the whole thing in a .txt file and print messages
like:

  note: the full type name has been written to
  'path/to/subsystem/module_name.long-type-11621316855315349594.txt'

[ Depending on the compiler version and the kind of error, there are
  two possible spellings -- copying them here for reference:

      = note: the full name for the type has been written to '...long-type-...txt'
      = note: the full type name has been written to '...long-type-...txt'

  In addition, we could clean the files as well in one of our
  cleaning Make targets [1][2].

  Another option would be `--verbose` (but it implies more things
  that we probably don't want) or `-Zwrite-long-types-to-disk=no`
  (unstable so far, but a possible alternative if we prefer to
  avoid the files and simply see the long types in the output
  -- I asked upstream Rust about it [3]).

Long types like core::result::Result&lt;core::pin::Pin&lt;Box&lt;_, Kmalloc,
kernel::error::Error&gt;: pin_init::PinInit&lt;Box&lt;_, Kmalloc&gt;, _&gt; are common
during development, so add a gitignore entry.
