   Zicfilp

 - Improve ptrace behavior regarding vector registers, and add some
   selftests

 - Optimize our strlen() assembly

 - Enable the ISO-8859-1 code page as built-in, similar to ARM64, for
   EFI volume mounting

 - Clean up some code slightly, including defining copy_user_page() as

One crucial missing piece is the handling of cpuset: when an isolated partition is created, deleted, or its CPUs updated, all the unbound kthreads in the top cpuset become indifferently affine to _all_ the non-isolated CPUs, possibly breaking their preferred affinity along the way. Solve this with performing the kthreads affinity update from cpuset to the kthreads consolidated relevant code instead so that preferred affinities are honoured and applied against the updated cpuset isolated partitions. The dispatch of the new isolated cpumasks to timers, workqueues and kthreads is performed by housekeeping, as per the nice Tejun's suggestion. As a welcome side effect, HK_TYPE_DOMAIN then integrates both the set from boot defined domain isolation (through isolcpus=) and cpuset isolated partitions. Housekeeping cpumasks are now modifiable with a specific RCU based synchronization.

Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
 "The kthread code provides an infrastructure which manages the
  preferred affinity of unbound kthreads (node or custom cpumask)
  against housekeeping (CPU isolation) constraints and CPU hotplug
  events.

  One crucial missing piece is the handling of cpuset: when an isolated
  partition is created, deleted, or its CPUs updated, all the unbound
  kthreads in the top cpuset become indifferently affine to _all_ the
  non-isolated CPUs, possibly breaking their preferred affinity along
  the way.

  Solve this with performing the kthreads affinity update from cpuset to
  the kthreads consolidated relevant code instead so that preferred
  affinities are honoured and applied against the updated cpuset
  isolated partitions.

  The dispatch of the new isolated cpumasks to timers, workqueues and
  kthreads is performed by housekeeping, as per the nice Tejun's
  suggestion.

  As a welcome side effect, HK_TYPE_DOMAIN then integrates both the set
  from boot defined domain isolation (through isolcpus=) and cpuset
  isolated partitions. Housekeeping cpumasks are now modifiable with a
  specific RCU based synchronization. A big step toward making
  nohz_full= also mutable through cpuset in the future"

sched/arm64: Move fallback task cpumask to HK_TYPE_DOMAIN 2026-02-03T14:23:35+00:00 Frederic Weisbecker frederic@kernel.org 2025-07-24T21:38:48+00:00 79c0abaf06fca6e715cf792daed580542fc4a2c4 When none of the allowed CPUs of a task are online, it gets migrated to the fallback cpumask which is all the non nohz_full CPUs. However just like nohz_full CPUs, domain isolated CPUs don't want to be disturbed by tasks that have lost their CPU affinities. And since nohz_full rely on domain isolation to work correctly, the housekeeping mask of domain isolated CPUs should always be a subset of the housekeeping mask of nohz_full CPUs (there can be CPUs that are domain isolated but not nohz_full, OTOH there shouldn't be nohz_full CPUs that are not domain isolated): HK_TYPE_DOMAIN & HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE == HK_TYPE_DOMAIN Therefore use HK_TYPE_DOMAIN as the appropriate fallback target for tasks.

When none of the allowed CPUs of a task are online, it gets migrated
to the fallback cpumask which is all the non nohz_full CPUs.

However just like nohz_full CPUs, domain isolated CPUs don't want to be
disturbed by tasks that have lost their CPU affinities.

And since nohz_full rely on domain isolation to work correctly, the
housekeeping mask of domain isolated CPUs should always be a subset of
the housekeeping mask of nohz_full CPUs (there can be CPUs that are
domain isolated but not nohz_full, OTOH there shouldn't be nohz_full
CPUs that are not domain isolated):

	HK_TYPE_DOMAIN & HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE == HK_TYPE_DOMAIN

Therefore use HK_TYPE_DOMAIN as the appropriate fallback target for
tasks. Note that cpuset isolated partitions are not supported on those
systems and may result in undefined behaviour.
