None and voluntary are only available as legacy features on platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet, or which don't even support preemption. The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and voluntary preemption altogether.

5 dayssparc: Add architecture support for clone3Ludwig Rydberg
Add support for the clone3 system call to the SPARC architectures. The implementation follows the pattern of the original clone syscall. However, instead of explicitly calling kernel_clone, the clone3 handler calls the generic sys_clone3 handler in kernel/fork. In case no stack is provided, the parents stack is reused. The return value convention for clone3 follows the regular kernel return value convention (in contrast to the original clone/fork on SPARC).

5 dayssparc: Synchronize user stack on fork and cloneAndreas Larsson
Flush all uncommitted user windows before calling the generic syscall handlers for clone, fork, and vfork. Prior to entering the arch common handlers sparc_{clone|fork|vfork}, the arch-specific syscall wrappers for these syscalls will attempt to flush all windows (including user windows). In the window overflow trap handlers on both SPARC{32|64}, if the window can't be stored (i.e due to MMU related faults) the routine backups the user window and increments a thread counter (wsaved). By adding a synchronization point after the flush attempt, when fault handling is enabled, any uncommitted user windows will be flushed.

2026-01-22rseq: Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()Thomas Gleixner
Provide a new syscall which has the only purpose to yield the CPU after the kernel granted a time slice extension. sched_yield() is not suitable for that because it unconditionally schedules, but the end of the time slice extension is not required to schedule when the task was already preempted. This also allows to have a strict check for termination to catch user space invoking random syscalls including sched_yield() from a time slice extension region.

2026-01-07sparc/PCI: Correct 64-bit non-pref -> pref BAR resourcesIlpo Järvinen
SPARC T5-2 dts describes some PCI BARs as 64-bit resources without the pref(etchable) bit (0x83... vs 0xc3... in assigned-addresses) for address ranges above the 4G threshold. Such resources cannot be placed into a non-prefetchable PCI bridge window that is capable only of 32-bit addressing. As such, it looks like the platform is improperly described by the dts. The kernel detects this problem (see the IORESOURCE_PREFETCH check in pci_find_parent_resource()) and fails to assign these BAR resources to the resource tree due to lack of a compatible bridge window. Prior to 754babaaf333 ("sparc/PCI: Remove pcibios_enable_device() as they do nothing extra") SPARC arch code did not test whether device resources were successfully in the resource tree when enabling a device, effectively hiding the problem. After removing the arch-specific enable code, pci_enable_resources() refuses to enable the device when it finds not all mem resources are assigned, and therefore mpt3sas can't be enabled: pci 0001:04:00.0: reg 0x14: [mem 0x801110000000-0x80111000ffff 64bit] pci 0001:04:00.0: reg 0x1c: [mem 0x801110040000-0x80111007ffff 64bit] pci 0001:04:00.0: BAR 1 [mem 0x801110000000-0x80111000ffff 64bit]: can't claim; no compatible bridge window pci 0001:04:00.0: BAR 3 [mem 0x801110040000-0x80111007ffff 64bit]: can't claim; no compatible bridge window mpt3sas 0001:04:00.0: BAR 1 [mem size 0x00010000 64bit]: not assigned; can't enable device For clarity, this filtered log only shows failures for one mpt3sas device but other devices fail similarly. In the reported case, the end result with all the failures is an unbootable system. Things appeared to "work" before 754babaaf333 ("sparc/PCI: Remove pcibios_enable_device() as they do nothing extra") because the resource tree is agnostic to whether PCI BAR resources are properly in the tree or not. So as long as there was a parent resource (e.g. a root bus resource) that contains the address range, the resource tree code just places resource request underneath it without any consideration to the intermediate BAR resource. While it worked, it's incorrect setup still. Add an OF fixup to set the IORESOURCE_PREFETCH flag for a 64-bit PCI resource that has the end address above 4G requiring placement into the prefetchable window. Also log the issue.

2025-11-16mm: consistently use current->mm in mm_get_unmapped_area()Ryan Roberts
mm_get_unmapped_area() is a wrapper around arch_get_unmapped_area() / arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown(), both of which search current->mm for some free space. Neither take an mm_struct - they implicitly operate on current->mm. But the wrapper takes an mm_struct and uses it to decide whether to search bottom up or top down. All callers pass in current->mm for this, so everything is working consistently. But it feels like an accident waiting to happen; eventually someone will call that function with a different mm, expecting to find free space in it, but what gets returned is free space in the current mm. So let's simplify by removing the parameter and have the wrapper use current->mm to decide which end to start at. Now everything is consistent and self-documenting.

Booting with "pcie_aspm=off" prevents this enabling (Manivannan Sadhasivam) - Remove the qcom code that enabled ASPM (Manivannan Sadhasivam) Power management: - If a device has already been disconnected, e.g., by a hotplug removal, don't bother trying to resume it to D0 when detaching the driver. This avoids annoying "Unable to change power state from D3cold to D0" messages (Mario Limonciello) - Ensure devices are powered up before config reads for 'max_link_width', 'current_link_speed', 'current_link_width', 'secondary_bus_number', and 'subordinate_bus_number' sysfs files. This prevents using invalid data (~0) in drivers or lspci and, depending on how the PCIe controller reports errors, may avoid error interrupts or crashes (Brian Norris) Virtualization: - Add rescan/remove locking when enabling/disabling SR-IOV, which avoids list corruption on s390, where disabling SR-IOV also generates hotplug events (Niklas Schnelle) Peer-to-peer DMA: -

When asserting PERST#, disable the controller instead of mistakenly disabling the PLL twice (Nagarjuna Kristam) - Convert struct tegra_msi mask_lock to raw spinlock to avoid a lock nesting error (Marek Vasut) Qualcomm PCIe controller driver: - Select PCI Power Control Slot driver so slot voltage rails can be turned on/off if described in Root Port devicetree node (Qiang Yu) - Parse only PCI bridge child nodes in devicetree, skipping unrelated nodes such as OPP (Operating Performance Points), which caused probe failures (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru) - Add 8.0 GT/s and 32.0 GT/s equalization settings (Ziyue Zhang) - Consolidate Root Port 'phy' and 'reset' properties in struct qcom_pcie_port, regardless of whether we got them from the Root Port node or the host bridge node (Manivannan Sadhasivam) - Fetch and map the ELBI register space in the DWC core rather than in each driver individually (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru) - Enable ECAM mechanism in DWC core by setting up iATU with 'CFG Shift Feature' and use this in the qcom driver (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru) - Add SM8750 compatible to qcom,pcie-sm8550.yaml (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru) - Update qcom,pcie-x1e80100.yaml to allow fifth PCIe host on Qualcomm Glymur, which is compatible with X1E80100 but doesn't have the cnoc_sf_axi clock (Qiang Yu) Renesas R-Car PCIe controller driver: - Fix a typo that prevented correct PHY initialization (Marek Vasut) - Add a missing 1ms delay after PWR reset assertion as required by the V4H manual (Marek Vasut) - Assure reset has completed before DBI access to avoid SError (Marek Vasut) - Fix inverted PHY initialization check, which sometimes led to timeouts and failure to start the controller (Marek Vasut) - Pass the correct IRQ domain to generic_handle_domain_irq() to fix a regression when converting to msi_create_parent_irq_domain() (Claudiu Beznea) - Drop the spinlock protecting the PMSR register - it's no longer required since pci_lock already serializes accesses (Marek Vasut) - Convert struct rcar_msi mask_lock to raw spinlock to avoid a lock nesting error (Marek Vasut) SOPHGO PCIe controller driver: -

I'll be enabling these back on in the build in the usb.git tree after -rc1 is out so that developers can continue to work on these in linux-next over the next development cycle. - Android Binder driver implemented in Rust. This is the big one, and was driving a huge majority of the rust binding work over the past years. Right now there are two binder drivers in the kernel, selected only at build time as to which one to use as binder wants to be included in the system at boot time. The binder C maintainers all agreed on this, as eventually, they want the C code to be removed from the tree, but it will take a few releases to get there while both are maintained to ensure that the rust implementation is fully stable and compliant with the existing userspace apis.

2025-09-26sparc: Drop the "-ansi" from the asflagsThomas Huth
In the very early kernel 1.x days, assembler files were pre-processed with the "-traditional" flag. With kernel 1.1.85, the sparc subsystem was changed to use "-ansi" instead while the other parts of the kernel continued to use "-traditional". That "-traditional" got removed from the other architectures in the course of time, but the sparc part kept the "-ansi" until today. This is bad since it comes with some disadvantages nowadays: You have to make sure to not include any header that contains a "//" C++ comment by accident (there are now some in the tree that use these for SPDX identifiers for example), and with "-ansi" we also do not get the pre-defined __ASSEMBLER__ macro which we'd like to use instead of the kernel-only __ASSEMBLY__ macro in the future. Since there does not seem to be any compelling reason anymore to use "-ansi" nowadays, let's simply drop the "-ansi" flag from the sparc subsystem now to get rid of those disadvantages.

2025-09-25arch: Add the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS to all the asm-offsets.cMenglong Dong
The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can happen. For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h, which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first, it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included by it. In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h". And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this purpose. Signed-off-by: Menglong Dong <dongml2@chinatelecom.cn> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org>
2025-09-22sparc: fix error handling in scan_one_device()Ma Ke
Once of_device_register() failed, we should call put_device() to decrement reference count for cleanup. Or it could cause memory leak. So fix this by calling put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup(). Calling path: of_device_register() -> of_device_add() -> device_add().

2025-09-01arch: copy_thread: pass clone_flags as u64Simon Schuster
With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags. However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not changed from the previous type of unsigned long. While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits (CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise. Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of the copy_thread function that is called from copy_process to consistently pass clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on 32-bit architectures.

2025-07-02fs: introduce file_getattr and file_setattr syscallsAndrey Albershteyn
Introduce file_getattr() and file_setattr() syscalls to manipulate inode extended attributes. The syscalls takes pair of file descriptor and pathname. Then it operates on inode opened accroding to openat() semantics. The struct file_attr is passed to obtain/change extended attributes. This is an alternative to FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl with a difference that file don't need to be open as we can reference it with a path instead of fd. By having this we can manipulated inode extended attributes not only on regular files but also on special ones. This is not possible with FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl as with special files we can not call ioctl() directly on the filesystem inode using fd. This patch adds two new syscalls which allows userspace to get/set extended inode attributes on special files by using parent directory and a path - *at() like syscall.

A rare use-after-free race is fixed - "mm/debug: introduce and use VM_WARN_ON_VMG()" from Lorenzo Stoakes simplifies and cleans up the debugging code in the VMA merging logic - "Account page tables at all levels" from Kevin Brodsky cleans up and regularizes the pagetable ctor/dtor handling. This results in improvements in accounting accuracy - "mm/damon: replace most damon_callback usages in sysfs with new core functions" from SeongJae Park cleans up and generalizes DAMON's sysfs file interface logic - "mm/damon: enable page level properties based monitoring" from SeongJae Park increases the amount of information which is presented in response to DAMOS actions - "mm/damon: remove DAMON debugfs interface" from SeongJae Park removes DAMON's long-deprecated debugfs interfaces. Thus the migration to sysfs is completed - "mm/hugetlb: Refactor hugetlb allocation resv accounting" from Peter Xu cleans up and generalizes the hugetlb reservation accounting - "mm: alloc_pages_bulk: small API refactor" from Luiz Capitulino removes a never-used feature of the alloc_pages_bulk() interface - "mm/damon: extend DAMOS filters for inclusion" from SeongJae Park extends DAMOS filters to support not only exclusion (rejecting), but also inclusion (allowing) behavior - "Add zpdesc memory descriptor for zswap.zpool" from Alex Shi introduces a new memory descriptor for zswap.zpool that currently overlaps with struct page for now. This is part of the effort to reduce the size of struct page and to enable dynamic allocation of memory descriptors - "mm, swap: rework of swap allocator locks" from Kairui Song redoes and simplifies the swap allocator locking. A speedup of 400% was demonstrated for one workload. As was a 35% reduction for kernel build time with swap-on-zram - "mm: update mips to use do_mmap(), make mmap_region() internal" from Lorenzo Stoakes reworks MIPS's use of mmap_region() so that mmap_region() can be made MM-internal - "mm/mglru: performance optimizations" from Yu Zhao fixes a few MGLRU regressions and otherwise improves MGLRU performance - "Docs/mm/damon: add tuning guide and misc updates" from SeongJae Park updates DAMON documentation - "Cleanup for memfd_create()" from Isaac Manjarres does that thing - "mm: hugetlb+THP folio and migration cleanups" from David Hildenbrand provides various cleanups in the areas of hugetlb folios, THP folios and migration - "Uncached buffered IO" from Jens Axboe implements the new RWF_DONTCACHE flag which provides synchronous dropbehind for pagecache reading and writing. To permite userspace to address issues with massive buildup of useless pagecache when reading/writing fast devices - "selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: Reduce memory" from Thomas Weißschuh fixes and optimizes some of the MM selftests" * tag 'mm-stable-2025-01-26-14-59' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (321 commits) mm/compaction: fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds warning s390/mm: add missing ctor/dtor on page table upgrade kasan: sw_tags: use str_on_off() helper in kasan_init_sw_tags() tools: add VM_WARN_ON_VMG definition mm/damon/core: use str_high_low() helper in damos_wmark_wait_us() seqlock: add missing parameter documentation for raw_seqcount_try_begin() mm/page-writeback: consolidate wb_thresh bumping logic into __wb_calc_thresh mm/page_alloc: remove the incorrect and misleading comment zram: remove zcomp_stream_put() from write_incompressible_page() mm: separate move/undo parts from migrate_pages_batch() mm/kfence: use str_write_read() helper in get_access_type() selftests/mm/mkdirty: fix memory leak in test_uffdio_copy() kasan: hw_tags: Use str_on_off() helper in kasan_init_hw_tags() selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: avoid reading from VM_IO mappings selftests/mm: vm_util: split up /proc/self/smaps parsing selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: unmap chunks after validation selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: mmap() without PROT_WRITE selftests/memfd/memfd_test: fix possible NULL pointer dereference mm: add FGP_DONTCACHE folio creation flag mm: call filemap_fdatawrite_range_kick() after IOCB_DONTCACHE issue ...
