10 hoursARM: clean up the memset64() C wrapperThomas Weißschuh
The current logic to split the 64-bit argument into its 32-bit halves is byte-order specific and a bit clunky. Use a union instead which is easier to read and works in all cases. GCC still generates the same machine code. While at it, rename the arguments of the __memset64() prototype to actually reflect their semantics.

2026-01-26arm: make initialization of zero page independent of the memory mapKlara Modin
Unlike most architectures, arm keeps a struct page pointer to the empty_zero_page and to initialize it requires conversion of a virtual address to page which makes it necessary to have memory map initialized before creating the empty_zero_page. Make empty_zero_page a stataic array in BSS to decouple it's initialization from the initialization of the memory map. This also aligns arm with vast majorty of architectures.

2026-01-20treewide: provide a generic clear_user_page() variantDavid Hildenbrand
Patch series "mm: folio_zero_user: clear page ranges", v11. This series adds clearing of contiguous page ranges for hugepages. The series improves on the current discontiguous clearing approach in two ways: - clear pages in a contiguous fashion. - use batched clearing via clear_pages() wherever exposed. The first is useful because it allows us to make much better use of hardware prefetchers. The second, enables advertising the real extent to the processor. Where specific instructions support it (ex. string instructions on x86; "mops" on arm64 etc), a processor can optimize based on this because, instead of seeing a sequence of 8-byte stores, or a sequence of 4KB pages, it sees a larger unit being operated on. For instance, AMD Zen uarchs (for extents larger than LLC-size) switch to a mode where they start eliding cacheline allocation. This is helpful not just because it results in higher bandwidth, but also because now the cache is not evicting useful cachelines and replacing them with zeroes. Demand faulting a 64GB region shows performance improvement: $ perf bench mem mmap -p $pg-sz -f demand -s 64GB -l 5 baseline +series (GBps +- %stdev) (GBps +- %stdev) pg-sz=2MB 11.76 +- 1.10% 25.34 +- 1.18% [*] +115.47% preempt=* pg-sz=1GB 24.85 +- 2.41% 39.22 +- 2.32% + 57.82% preempt=none|voluntary pg-sz=1GB (similar) 52.73 +- 0.20% [#] +112.19% preempt=full|lazy [*] This improvement is because switching to sequential clearing allows the hardware prefetchers to do a much better job. [#] For pg-sz=1GB a large part of the improvement is because of the cacheline elision mentioned above. preempt=full|lazy improves upon that because, not needing explicit invocations of cond_resched() to ensure reasonable preemption latency, it can clear the full extent as a single unit. In comparison the maximum extent used for preempt=none|voluntary is PROCESS_PAGES_NON_PREEMPT_BATCH (32MB). When provided the full extent the processor forgoes allocating cachelines on this path almost entirely. (The hope is that eventually, in the fullness of time, the lazy preemption model will be able to do the same job that none or voluntary models are used for, allowing us to do away with cond_resched().) Raghavendra also tested previous version of the series on AMD Genoa and sees similar improvement [1] with preempt=lazy. $ perf bench mem map -p $page-size -f populate -s 64GB -l 10 base patched change pg-sz=2MB 12.731939 GB/sec 26.304263 GB/sec 106.6% pg-sz=1GB 26.232423 GB/sec 61.174836 GB/sec 133.2% This patch (of 8): Let's drop all variants that effectively map to clear_page() and provide it in a generic variant instead. We'll use the macro clear_user_page to indicate whether an architecture provides it's own variant. Also, clear_user_page() is only called from the generic variant of clear_user_highpage(), so define it only if the architecture does not provide a clear_user_highpage(). And, for simplicity define it in linux/highmem.h. Note that for parisc, clear_page() and clear_user_page() map to clear_page_asm(), so we can just get rid of the custom clear_user_page() implementation. There is a clear_user_page_asm() function on parisc, that seems to be unused. Not sure what's up with that.

In the inline assembly inside load_unaligned_zeropad(), the "addr" is constrained as input-only operand. The compiler assumes that on exit from the asm statement these operands contain the same values as they had before executing the statement, but when kernel page fault happened, the assembly fixup code "bic %2 %2, #0x3" modify the value of "addr", which may lead to an unexpected behavior. Use a temporary variable "tmp" to handle it, instead of modifying the input-only operand, just like what arm64's load_unaligned_zeropad() does.

However, I was asked to take this because most uses of kernel-mode FPSIMD are in crypto or CRC code. In v6.8, the size of task_struct on arm64 increased by 528 bytes due to the new 'kernel_fpsimd_state' field. This field was added to allow kernel-mode FPSIMD code to be preempted. Unfortunately, 528 bytes is kind of a lot for task_struct. This regression in the task_struct size was noticed and reported.

2025-09-21mm: constify highmem related functions for improved const-correctnessMax Kellermann
Lots of functions in mm/highmem.c do not write to the given pointers and do not call functions that take non-const pointers and can therefore be constified. This includes functions like kunmap() which might be implemented in a way that writes to the pointer (e.g. to update reference counters or mapping fields), but currently are not. kmap() on the other hand cannot be made const because it calls set_page_address() which is non-const in some architectures/configurations.

2025-09-13mm: introduce memdesc_flags_tMatthew Wilcox (Oracle)
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.

Pull ARM fixes from Russell King: - Fix arch_memremap_can_ram_remap() which incorrectly passed a PFN to memblock_is_map_memory rather than the actual address. - Disallow kernel mode NEON when IRQs are disabled Explanation: "To avoid having to preserve/restore kernel mode NEON state when such a softirq is taken softirqs are now disabled when using the NEON from task context." should explain that it's nested kernel mode. In other words, softirqs from user mode are fine, because the context will be preserved. softirqs from kernel mode may be from a context that has already saved the user NEON state, and thus we would need to preserve the NEON state for the parent kernel mode context, and this we don't allow. The problem occurs when the kernel context disables hard IRQs, and then uses NEON. When it's finished, and restores the userspace NEON state, we call local_bh_enable() with hard IRQs disabled, which causes a warning. This commit addresses that by disallowing the use of NEON with hard IRQs disabled. https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250516231858.27899-4-ebiggers@kernel.org/T/#m104841b6e9346b1814c8b0fb9f2340551b0cd3e8 has some further context * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rmk/linux: ARM: 9446/1: Disallow kernel mode NEON when IRQs are disabled ARM: 9447/1: arm/memremap: fix arch_memremap_can_ram_remap()

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide this. - "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up and better prepare us for future work. - "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory block size. - "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's memory consumption was dramatic. - "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to this part of our swap handling code. - "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall arguments, and syscall return value. This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM" branch, but I goofed. - "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get at the info about guard regions. - "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error. - "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of using more current facilities. - "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are enabled for ARM. - "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables. This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page tables". This change does result in various architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur. - "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures. - "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've been missing for 15 years. - "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to load this particular operation. - "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly reduced. - "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code. - ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit. - "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON for memory tiering. - "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan found via code inspection. - "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset settings to violated. This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently. - "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code. - "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization. - "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios. - "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved. - "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping ranges of invalid pfns. - "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode. Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases. - "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when using JFS. - "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more appropriate mm/vma.c. - "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index() function. - "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that. - "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the test_memcontrol selftest. - "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare(). The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging. - "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one.

2025-05-29ARM: 9446/1: Disallow kernel mode NEON when IRQs are disabledArd Biesheuvel
Commit c79f81631142 ("ARM: 9283/1: permit non-nested kernel mode NEON in softirq context") relaxed the rules around the use of SIMD instructions in kernel mode on ARM, to allow such use when serving a softirq. To avoid having to preserve/restore kernel mode NEON state when such a softirq is taken, softirqs are now disabled when using the NEON from task context. However, the fact that the softirq API does not allow unmasking of softirqs with interrupts disabled was overlooked, resulting in a WARN() in some cases, as reported by Guenter: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1145 at kernel/softirq.c:369 __local_bh_enable_ip+0x118/0x194 Call trace: unwind_backtrace from show_stack+0x10/0x14 show_stack from dump_stack_lvl+0x7c/0xac dump_stack_lvl from __warn+0x7c/0x1b8 __warn from warn_slowpath_fmt+0x19c/0x1a4 warn_slowpath_fmt from __local_bh_enable_ip+0x118/0x194 __local_bh_enable_ip from crc_t10dif_arch+0xd4/0xe8 crc_t10dif_arch from crc_t10dif_wrapper+0x14/0x1c crc_t10dif_wrapper from crc_main_test+0x178/0x360 crc_main_test from kunit_try_run_case+0x78/0x1e0 kunit_try_run_case from kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter+0x1c/0x34 kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter from kthread+0x118/0x254 kthread from ret_from_fork+0x14/0x28 While disabling softirqs is not really needed when running with IRQs disabled (given that the only way a softirq can be delivered asynchrously is over the back of an IRQ), let's not complicate this logic more than needed, and simply disallow use of the NEON in kernel mode when IRQs are disabled. Another approach might be to only disable and re-enable softirqs if IRQs are enabled, but other than the test case above, there are no clear use cases for doing non-trivial arithmetic processing (hence using an accelerated SIMD implementation) with IRQs disabled.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide compile-time checking of percpu area accesses. This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect. - The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code. - The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed. - The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained. - The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime effects are anticipated. - The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark. - The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan noticed when working on the swap code. - The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible output. - The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's handling of large folios. - The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions. - The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields. - The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by huge page sizes. - The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and file-backed mappings. - The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for pte-mapped large folios. - The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more messy.

2025-03-26ARM: 9444/1: add KEEP() keyword to ARM_VECTORSChristian Eggers
Without this, the vectors are removed if LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is enabled. At startup, the CPU (silently) hangs in the undefined instruction exception as soon as the first timer interrupt arrives. On my setup, the system also boots fine without the 2nd and 3rd KEEP() statements, so I cannot tell whether these are actually required.

ld.lld prior to 21.0.0 does not support using the KEEP keyword within an overlay description, which may be needed to avoid discarding necessary sections within an overlay with '--gc-sections', which can be enabled for the kernel via CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION. Disallow CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION without support for KEEP within OVERLAY and introduce a macro, OVERLAY_KEEP, that can be used to conditionally add KEEP when it is properly supported to avoid breaking old versions of ld.lld.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull VDSO infrastructure updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Consolidate the VDSO storage The VDSO data storage and data layout has been largely architecture specific for historical reasons. That increases the maintenance effort and causes inconsistencies over and over. There is no real technical reason for architecture specific layouts and implementations. The architecture specific details can easily be integrated into a generic layout, which also reduces the amount of duplicated code for managing the mappings. Convert all architectures over to a unified layout and common mapping infrastructure. This splits the VDSO data layout into subsystem specific blocks, timekeeping, random and architecture parts, which provides a better structure and allows to improve and update the functionalities without conflict and interaction. - Rework the timekeeping data storage The current implementation is designed for exposing system timekeeping accessors, which was good enough at the time when it was designed. PTP and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) change that as there are requirements to expose independent PTP clocks, which are not related to system timekeeping. Replace the monolithic data storage by a structured layout, which allows to add support for independent PTP clocks on top while reusing both the data structures and the time accessor implementations. * tag 'timers-vdso-2025-03-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (55 commits) sparc/vdso: Always reject undefined references during linking x86/vdso: Always reject undefined references during linking vdso: Rework struct vdso_time_data and introduce struct vdso_clock vdso: Move architecture related data before basetime data powerpc/vdso: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock arm64/vdso: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock x86/vdso: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock time/namespace: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/namespace: Rename timens_setup_vdso_data() to reflect new vdso_clock struct vdso/vsyscall: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare helper functions for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_coarse_timens() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_coarse() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_hres_timens() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_hres() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/helpers: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/datapage: Define vdso_clock to prepare for multiple PTP clocks vdso: Make vdso_time_data cacheline aligned arm64: Make asm/cache.h compatible with vDSO ...

2025-01-25mm: pgtable: completely move pagetable_dtor() to generic tlb_remove_table()Qi Zheng
For the generic tlb_remove_table(), it is implemented in the following two forms: 1) CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE is enabled tlb_remove_table --> generic __tlb_remove_table() 2) CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE is disabled tlb_remove_table --> tlb_remove_page For case 1), the pagetable_dtor() has already been moved to generic __tlb_remove_table(). For case 2), now only arm will call tlb_remove_table()/tlb_remove_ptdesc() when CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE is disabled. Let's move pagetable_dtor() completely to generic tlb_remove_table(), so that the architectures can follow more easily.
