Pull bootconfig updates from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - bootconfig: move xbc_snprint_cmdline() to lib/bootconfig.c

   Move the xbc_snprint_cmdline() function and its buffer from
   main.c to the shared lib/bootconfig.c parser library so it
   can be reused by userspace tools.

 - render kernel.* subtree as cmdline string with -C

   Add a new -C option to print the kernel.* subtree as a flat
   command-line string at build time, allowing early parameter
   injection without runtime parsing.

   for smarter partitioning of kmalloc caches based on the allocated

   It should be able to deterministically separate types containing a

 - Improvements and simplification of the kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() and
   mempool_alloc_bulk() API. This includes adaptation of callers
   (Christoph Hellwig)

   refill (Hao Li, Shengming Hu, Vlastimil Babka)

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Futex updates:

   - Optimize futex hash bucket access patterns (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Large series to address the robust futex unlock race for real, by
     Thomas Gleixner:

      "The robust futex unlock mechanism is racy in respect to the
       clearing of the robust_list_head::list_op_pending pointer because
       unlock and clearing the pointer are not atomic.

       The race window is between the unlock and clearing the pending op
       pointer. If the task is forced to exit in this window, exit will
       access a potentially invalid pending op pointer when cleaning up
       the robust list.

       That happens if another task manages to unmap the object
       containing the lock before the cleanup, which results in an UAF.

       In the worst case this UAF can lead to memory corruption when
       unrelated content has been mapped to the same address by the time
       the access happens.

       User space can't solve this problem without help from the kernel.
       This series provides the kernel side infrastructure to help it
       along:

        1) Combined unlock, pointer clearing, wake-up for the
           contended case

        2) VDSO based unlock and pointer clearing helpers with a
           fix-up function in the kernel when user space was interrupted
           within the critical section.

      ... with help by André Almeida:

        - Add a note about robust list race condition (André Almeida)

 "Futex updates:

   - Optimize futex hash bucket access patterns (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Large series to address the robust futex unlock race for real, by
     Thomas Gleixner:

      "The robust futex unlock mechanism is racy in respect to the
       clearing of the robust_list_head::list_op_pending pointer because
       unlock and clearing the pointer are not atomic.

       The race window is between the unlock and clearing the pending op
       pointer. If the task is forced to exit in this window, exit will
       access a potentially invalid pending op pointer when cleaning up
       the robust list.

       That happens if another task manages to unmap the object
       containing the lock before the cleanup, which results in an UAF.

       In the worst case this UAF can lead to memory corruption when
       unrelated content has been mapped to the same address by the time
       the access happens.

       User space can't solve this problem without help from the kernel.
       This series provides the kernel side infrastructure to help it
       along:

        1) Combined unlock, pointer clearing, wake-up for the
           contended case

        2) VDSO based unlock and pointer clearing helpers with a
           fix-up function in the kernel when user space was interrupted
           within the critical section.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "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"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Features:

   - Reduce pipe-&gt;mutex contention by pre-allocating pages outside the
     lock in anon_pipe_write().

     anon_pipe_write() called alloc_page() once per page while holding
     pipe-&gt;mutex. The allocation can sleep doing direct reclaim and runs
     memcg charging, which extends the critical section and stalls any
     concurrent reader on the same mutex. Now up to 8 pages are
     pre-allocated before the mutex is taken, leftovers are recycled
     into the per-pipe tmp_page[] cache before unlock, and any remainder
     is released after unlock, keeping the allocator out of the critical
     section on both sides. On a writers x readers sweep with 64KB
     writes against a 1 MB pipe throughput improves 6-28% and average
     write latency drops 5-22%; under memory pressure - when the cost of
     holding the mutex across reclaim is highest - throughput improves
     21-48% and latency drops 17-33%. The microbenchmark is added to
     selftests.

   - uaccess/sockptr: fix the ignored_trailing logic in
     copy_struct_to_user() to behave as documented and the usize check
     in copy_struct_from_sockptr() for user pointers, and add
     copy_struct_{from,to}_bounce_buffer() and copy_struct_to_sockptr()
     helpers for upcoming users (IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT, IPPROTO_QUIC).

   - bpf: add a sleepable bpf_real_inode() kfunc that resolves the real
     inode backing a dentry via d_real_inode(). On overlayfs the inode
     attached to the dentry doesn't carry the underlying device
     information; this is used by the filesystem restriction BPF program
     that was merged into systemd.

   - docs: add guidelines for submitting new filesystems, motivated by
     the maintenance burden abandoned and untestable filesystems impose
     on VFS developers, blocking infrastructure work like folio
     conversions and iomap migration.

  Fixes:

   - libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV by default in init_pseudo()
     and drop the now-redundant assignments in callers. This began as a
     one-line dma-buf fix for a path_noexec() warning; a pseudo
     filesystem has no reason not to set SB_I_NOEXEC. All init_pseudo()
     callers were audited: the only visible effect is on dma-buf where
     SB_I_NOEXEC silences the warning.

   - Handle set_blocksize() failures in legacy filesystems (bfs, hpfs,
     qnx4, jfs, befs, affs, isofs, minix, ntfs3, omfs). Mounting a
     device with a sector size &gt; PAGE_SIZE crashed roughly half of them;
     the rest had the same missing error handling pattern. Plus a
     follow-up releasing the superblock buffer_head when setting the
     minix v3 block size fails.

   - mount: honour SB_NOUSER in the new mount API.

   - fs/fcntl: fix a SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling by
     switching the process-group paths of send_sigio() and send_sigurg()
     from read_lock(&amp;tasklist_lock) to RCU, matching the single-PID
     path.

   - vfs: add an FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag and set it for NFS, fixing
     delegated NFS mounts (fsopen() in a container with the mount
     performed by a privileged daemon) that broke when non-init
     s_user_ns was tied to FS_USERNS_MOUNT.

   - selftests/namespaces: fix a hang in nsid_test where an unreaped
     grandchild kept the TAP pipe write-end open, a waitpid(-1) race in
     listns_efault_test, and a false FAIL on kernels without listns()
     where the tests should SKIP.

   - filelock: fix the break_lease() stub signature for
     CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=n.

   - init/initramfs_test: wait for the async initramfs unpacking before
     running; the test and do_populate_rootfs() share the parser state.

   - fs/coredump: reduce redundant log noise in
     validate_coredump_safety().

   - iomap: pass the correct length to fserror_report_io() in
     __iomap_write_begin().

   - backing-file: fix the backing_file_open() kerneldoc.

  Cleanups:

   - initramfs: refactor the cpio hex header parsing to use hex2bin()
     instead of the hand-rolled simple_strntoul() which is reverted, and
     extend the initramfs KUnit tests to cover header fields with 0x
     prefixes.

   - Replace __get_free_pages() and friends with kmalloc()/kzalloc()
     across quota, proc, ocfs2/dlm, nilfs2, nfs, nfsd, libfs, jfs, jbd2,
     isofs, fuse, select, namespace, configfs, binfmt_misc, bfs, and the
     do_mounts init code - part of the larger work of replacing page
     allocator calls with kmalloc().

   - Use clear_and_wake_up_bit() in unlock_buffer() and
     journal_end_buffer_io_sync() instead of open-coding the sequence.

   - Drop unused VFS exports: unexport drop_super_exclusive(), remove
     start_removing_user_path_at(), and fold __start_removing_path()
     into start_removing_path().

   - fs/read_write: narrow the __kernel_write() export with
     EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES().

   - vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex constants in favor of (1 &lt;&lt; n) for
     the O_ flags. Finding a free bit for a new flag across the
     architectures was needlessly hard with the mixed bases.

   - dcache: add extra sanity checks of dead dentries in dentry_free()
     via a new DENTRY_WARN_ONCE() that also prints d_flags.

   - iov_iter: use kmemdup_array() in dup_iter() to harden the
     allocation against multiplication overflow.

   - fs/pipe: write to -&gt;poll_usage only once.

   - vfs: remove an always-taken if-branch in find_next_fd().

   - dcache: use kmalloc_flex() for struct external_name in __d_alloc().

   - namei: use QSTR() instead of QSTR_INIT() in path_pts().

   - sync_file_range: delete dead S_ISLNK code.

   - Comment fixes: retire a stale comment in fget_task_next() and fix
     assorted spelling mistakes"

<title>rust: tests: add Kconfig for KUnit test</title>

There are 6 individual Rust KUnit test suites (plus the doctests one). All
the tests are compiled unconditionally now, which adds ~200 kB to the
kernel image for me on x86_64. As Rust matures, this bloating will
inevitably grow.

Add Kconfig.test which includes a RUST_KUNIT_TESTS menu, and all
individual tests under it.

As usual, new tests are all enabled if KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=y.

There will be a VDSO function to unlock robust futexes in user space. The
unlock sequence is racy vs. clearing the list_pending_op pointer in the
tasks robust list head. To plug this race the kernel needs to know the
instruction window. As the VDSO is per MM the addresses are stored in
mm_struct::futex.

Architectures which implement support for this have to update these
addresses when the VDSO is (re)mapped and indicate the pending op pointer
size which is matching the IP.

Arguably this could be resolved by chasing mm-&gt;context-&gt;vdso-&gt;image, but
that's architecture specific and requires to touch quite some cache
lines. Having it in mm::futex reduces the cache line impact and avoids
having yet another set of architecture specific functionality.

To support multi size robust list applications (gaming) this provides two
ranges when COMPAT is enabled.
