git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull VDSO updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Provide the missing 64-bit variant of clock_getres() This allows the extension of CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME to the vDSO and finally the removal of 32-bit time types from the kernel and UAPI. - Remove the useless and broken getcpu_cache from the VDSO The intention was to provide a trivial way to retrieve the CPU number from the VDSO, but as the VDSO data is per process there is no way to make it work. - Switch get/put_unaligned() from packed struct to memcpy() The packed struct violates strict aliasing rules which requires to pass -fno-strict-aliasing to the compiler. As this are scalar values __builtin_memcpy() turns them into simple loads and stores - Use __typeof_unqual__() for __unqual_scalar_typeof() The get/put_unaligned() changes triggered a new sparse warning when __beNN types are used with get/put_unaligned() as sparse builds add a special 'bitwise' attribute to them which prevents sparse to evaluate the Generic in __unqual_scalar_typeof(). Newer sparse versions support __typeof_unqual__() which avoids the problem, but requires a recent sparse install. So this adds a sanity check to sparse builds, which validates that sparse is available and capable of handling it. - Force inline __cvdso_clock_getres_common() Compilers sometimes un-inline agressively, which results in function call overhead and problems with automatic stack variable initialization. Interestingly enough the force inlining results in smaller code than the un-inlined variant produced by GCC when optimizing for size. * tag 'timers-vdso-2026-02-09' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: vdso/gettimeofday: Force inlining of __cvdso_clock_getres_common() x86/percpu: Make CONFIG_USE_X86_SEG_SUPPORT work with sparse compiler: Use __typeof_unqual__() for __unqual_scalar_typeof() powerpc/vdso: Provide clock_getres_time64() tools headers: Remove unneeded ignoring of warnings in unaligned.h tools headers: Update the linux/unaligned.h copy with the kernel sources vdso: Switch get/put_unaligned() from packed struct to memcpy() parisc: Inline a type punning version of get_unaligned_le32() vdso: Remove struct getcpu_cache MIPS: vdso: Provide getres_time64() for 32-bit ABIs arm64: vdso32: Provide clock_getres_time64() ARM: VDSO: Provide clock_getres_time64() ARM: VDSO: Patch out __vdso_clock_getres() if unavailable x86/vdso: Provide clock_getres_time64() for x86-32 selftests: vDSO: vdso_test_abi: Add test for clock_getres_time64() selftests: vDSO: vdso_test_abi: Use UAPI system call numbers selftests: vDSO: vdso_config: Add configurations for clock_getres_time64() vdso: Add prototype for __vdso_clock_getres_time64()

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull MSI updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Updates for the [PCI] MSI subsystem: - Add interrupt redirection infrastructure Some PCI controllers use a single demultiplexing interrupt for the MSI interrupts of subordinate devices. This prevents setting the interrupt affinity of device interrupts, which causes device interrupts to be delivered to a single CPU. That obviously is counterproductive for multi-queue devices and interrupt balancing. To work around this limitation the new infrastructure installs a dummy irq_set_affinity() callback which captures the affinity mask and picks a redirection target CPU out of the mask. When the PCI controller demultiplexes the interrupts it invokes a new handling function in the core, which either runs the interrupt handler in the context of the target CPU or delegates it to irq_work on the target CPU. - Utilize the interrupt redirection mechanism in the PCI DWC host controller driver. This allows affinity control for the subordinate device MSI interrupts instead of being randomly executed on the CPU which runs the demultiplex handler. - Replace the binary 64-bit MSI flag with a DMA mask Some PCI devices have PCI_MSI_FLAGS_64BIT in the MSI capability, but implement less than 64 address bits. This breaks on platforms where such a device is assigned an MSI address higher than what's supported. With the binary 64-bit flag there is no other choice than disabling 64-bit MSI support which leaves the device disfunctional. By using a DMA mask the address limit of a device can be described correctly which provides support for the above scenario. - Make use of the DMA mask based address limit in the hda/intel and radeon drivers to enable them on affected platforms - The usual small cleanups and improvements" * tag 'irq-msi-2026-02-09' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: ALSA: hda/intel: Make MSI address limit based on the device DMA limit drm/radeon: Make MSI address limit based on the device DMA limit PCI/MSI: Check the device specific address mask in msi_verify_entries() PCI/MSI: Convert the boolean no_64bit_msi flag to a DMA address mask genirq/redirect: Prevent writing MSI message on affinity change PCI/MSI: Unmap MSI-X region on error genirq: Update effective affinity for redirected interrupts PCI: dwc: Enable MSI affinity support PCI: dwc: Code cleanup genirq: Add interrupt redirection infrastructure genirq/msi: Correct kernel-doc in <linux/msi.h>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar: "Lock debugging: - Implement compiler-driven static analysis locking context checking, using the upcoming Clang 22 compiler's context analysis features (Marco Elver) We removed Sparse context analysis support, because prior to removal even a defconfig kernel produced 1,700+ context tracking Sparse warnings, the overwhelming majority of which are false positives. On an allmodconfig kernel the number of false positive context tracking Sparse warnings grows to over 5,200... On the plus side of the balance actual locking bugs found by Sparse context analysis is also rather ... sparse: I found only 3 such commits in the last 3 years. So the rate of false positives and the maintenance overhead is rather high and there appears to be no active policy in place to achieve a zero-warnings baseline to move the annotations & fixers to developers who introduce new code. Clang context analysis is more complete and more aggressive in trying to find bugs, at least in principle. Plus it has a different model to enabling it: it's enabled subsystem by subsystem, which results in zero warnings on all relevant kernel builds (as far as our testing managed to cover it). Which allowed us to enable it by default, similar to other compiler warnings, with the expectation that there are no warnings going forward. This enforces a zero-warnings baseline on clang-22+ builds (Which are still limited in distribution, admittedly) Hopefully the Clang approach can lead to a more maintainable zero-warnings status quo and policy, with more and more subsystems and drivers enabling the feature.

SHA-1 is no longer considered secure for signatures due to vulnerabilities that can lead to hash collisions. None of the major distributions use SHA-1 anymore, and the kernel has defaulted to SHA-512 since v6.11. Note that loading SHA-1 signed modules is still supported. - Update scripts/sign-file to use only the OpenSSL CMS API for signing. As SHA-1 support is gone, we can drop the legacy PKCS#7 API which was limited to SHA-1. This also cleans up support for legacy OpenSSL versions. Cleanups and fixes: - Use system_dfl_wq instead of the per-cpu system_wq following the ongoing workqueue API refactoring. - Avoid open-coded kvrealloc() in module decompression logic by using the standard helper. - Improve section annotations by replacing the custom __modinit with __init_or_module and removing several unused __INIT*_OR_MODULE macros. - Fix kernel-doc warnings in include/linux/moduleparam.h. - Ensure set_module_sig_enforced is only declared when module signing is enabled. - Fix gendwarfksyms build failures on 32-bit hosts.

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.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "By the number of commits, cpufreq is the leading party (again) and the most visible change there is the removal of the omap-cpufreq driver that has not been used for a long time (good riddance). There are also quite a few changes in the cppc_cpufreq driver, mostly related to fixing its frequency invariance engine in the case when the CPPC registers used by it are not in PCC. In addition to that, support for AM62L3 is added to the ti-cpufreq driver and the cpufreq-dt-platdev list is updated for some platforms. The remaining cpufreq changes are assorted fixes and cleanups. Next up is cpuidle and the changes there are dominated by intel_idle driver updates, mostly related to the new command line facility allowing users to adjust the list of C-states used by the driver. There are also a few updates of cpuidle governors, including two menu governor fixes and some refinements of the teo governor, and a MAINTAINERS update adding Christian Loehle as a cpuidle reviewer. [Thanks for stepping up Christian!] The most significant update related to system suspend and hibernation is the one to stop freezing the PM runtime workqueue during system PM transitions which allows some deadlocks to be avoided. There is also a fix for possible concurrent bit field updates in the core device suspend code and a few other minor fixes. Apart from the above, several drivers are updated to discard the return value of pm_runtime_put() which is going to be converted to a void function as soon as everybody stops using its return value, PL4 support for Ice Lake is added to the Intel RAPL power capping driver, and there are assorted cleanups, documentation fixes, and some cpupower utility improvements. Specifics: - Remove the unused omap-cpufreq driver (Andreas Kemnade) - Optimize error handling code in cpufreq_boost_trigger_state() and make cpufreq_boost_trigger_state() return -EOPNOTSUPP if no policy supports boost (Lifeng Zheng) -

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "This one is significantly larger than previous ACPI support pull requests because several significant updates have coincided in it. First, there is a routine ACPICA code update, to upstream version 20251212, but this time it covers new ACPI 6.6 material that has not been covered yet. Among other things, it includes definitions of a few new ACPI tables and updates of some others, like the GICv5 MADT structures and ARM IORT IWB node definitions that are used for adding GICv5 ACPI probing on ARM (that technically is IRQ subsystem material, but it depends on the ACPICA changes, so it is included here). The latter alone adds a few hundred lines of new code. Second, there is an update of ACPI _OSC handling including a fix that prevents failures from occurring in some corner cases due to careless handling of _OSC error bits. On top of that, the "system resource" ACPI device objects with the PNP0C01 and PNP0C02 are now going to be handled by the ACPI core device enumeration code instead of handing them over to the legacy PNP system driver which causes device enumeration issues to occur. Some of those issues have been worked around in device drivers and elsewhere and those workarounds should not be necessary any more, so they are going away. Moreover, the time has come to convert all "core ACPI" device drivers that were still using struct acpi_driver objects for device binding into proper platform drivers that use struct platform_driver for this purpose. These updates are accompanied by some requisite core ACPI device enumeration code changes. Next, there are ACPI APEI updates, including changes to avoid excess overhead in the NMI handler and in SEA on the ARM side, changes to unify ACPI-based HW error tracing and logging, and changes to prevent APEI code from reaching out of its allocated memory. There are also some ACPI power management updates, mostly related to the ACPI cpuidle support in the processor driver, suspend-to-idle handling on systems with ACPI support and to ACPI PM of devices. In addition to the above, bugs are fixed and the code is cleaned up in assorted places all over. Specifics: - Update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream version 20251212 which includes the following changes: * Add support for new ACPI table DTPR (Michal Camacho Romero) * Release objects with acpi_ut_delete_object_desc() (Zilin Guan) * Add UUIDs for Microsoft fan extensions and UUIDs associated with TPM 2.0 devices (Armin Wolf) * Fix NULL pointer dereference in acpi_ev_address_space_dispatch() (Alexey Simakov) * Add KEYP ACPI table definition (Dave Jiang) * Add support for the Microsoft display mux _OSI string (Armin Wolf) * Add definitions for the IOVT ACPI table (Xianglai Li) * Abort AML bytecode execution on AML_FATAL_OP (Armin Wolf) * Include all fields in subtable type1 for PPTT (Ben Horgan) * Add GICv5 MADT structures and Arm IORT IWB node definitions (Jose Marinho) * Update Parameter Block structure for RAS2 and add a new flag in Memory Affinity Structure for SRAT (Pawel Chmielewski) * Add _VDM (Voltage Domain) object (Pawel Chmielewski) - Add support for GICv5 ACPI probing on ARM which is based on the GICv5 MADT structures and ARM IORT IWB node definitions recently added to ACPICA (Lorenzo Pieralisi) - Rework ACPI PM notification setup for PCI root buses and modify the ACPI PM setup for devices to register wakeup source objects under physical (that is, PCI, platform, etc.) devices instead of doing that under their ACPI companions (Rafael Wysocki) - Adjust debug messages regarding postponed ACPI PM printed during system resume to be more accurate (Rafael Wysocki) - Remove dead code from lps0_device_attach() (Gergo Koteles) - Start to invoke Microsoft Function 9 (Turn On Display) of the Low- Power S0 Idle (LPS0) _DSM in the suspend-to-idle resume flow on systems with ACPI LPS0 support to address a functional issue on Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura (15ILL9), where system fans and keyboard backlights fail to resume after suspend (Jakob Riemenschneider) - Add sysfs attribute cid for exposing _CID lists under ACPI device objects (Rafael Wysocki) - Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit() in all of the core ACPI sysfs interface code (Sumeet Pawnikar) - Use acpi_get_local_u64_address() in the code implementing ACPI support for PCI to evaluate _ADR instead of evaluating that object directly (Andy Shevchenko) - Add JWIPC JVC9100 to irq1_level_low_skip_override[] to unbreak serial IRQs on that system (Ai Chao) - Fix handling of _OSC errors in acpi_run_osc() to avoid failures on systems where _OSC error bits are set even though the _OSC return buffer contains acknowledged feature bits (Rafael Wysocki) - Clean up and rearrange \_SB._OSC handling for general platform features and USB4 features to avoid code duplication and unnecessary memory management overhead (Rafael Wysocki) - Make the ACPI core device enumeration code handle PNP0C01 and PNP0C02 ("system resource") device objects directly instead of letting the legacy PNP system driver handle them to avoid device enumeration issues on systems where PNP0C02 is present in the _CID list under ACPI device objects with a _HID matching a proper device driver in Linux (Rafael Wysocki) -

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux Pull bounce buffer dio for stable pages from Jens Axboe: "This adds support for bounce buffering of dio for stable pages. This was all done by Christoph. In his words: This series tries to address the problem that under I/O pages can be modified during direct I/O, even when the device or file system require stable pages during I/O to calculate checksums, parity or data operations. It does so by adding block layer helpers to bounce buffer an iov_iter into a bio, then wires that up in iomap and ultimately XFS. The reason that the file system even needs to know about it, is because reads need a user context to copy the data back, and the infrastructure to defer ioends to a workqueue currently sits in XFS. I'm going to look into moving that into ioend and enabling it for other file systems. Additionally btrfs already has it's own infrastructure for this, and actually an urgent need to bounce buffer, so this should be useful there and could be wire up easily. In fact the idea comes from patches by Qu that did this in btrfs. This patch fixes all but one xfstests failures on T10 PI capable devices (generic/095 seems to have issues with a mix of mmap and splice still, I'm looking into that separately), and make qemu VMs running Windows, or Linux with swap enabled fine on an XFS file on a device using PI.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux Pull io_uring bpf filters from Jens Axboe: "This adds support for both cBPF filters for io_uring, as well as task inherited restrictions and filters. seccomp and io_uring don't play along nicely, as most of the interesting data to filter on resides somewhat out-of-band, in the submission queue ring. As a result, things like containers and systemd that apply seccomp filters, can't filter io_uring operations. That leaves them with just one choice if filtering is critical - filter the actual io_uring_setup(2) system call to simply disallow io_uring. That's rather unfortunate, and has limited us because of it. io_uring already has some filtering support. It requires the ring to be setup in a disabled state, and then a filter set can be applied. This filter set is completely bi-modal - an opcode is either enabled or it's not. Once a filter set is registered, the ring can be enabled. This is very restrictive, and it's not useful at all to systemd or containers which really want both broader and more specific control. This first adds support for cBPF filters for opcodes, which enables tighter control over what exactly a specific opcode may do. As examples, specific support is added for IORING_OP_OPENAT/OPENAT2, allowing filtering on resolve flags. And another example is added for IORING_OP_SOCKET, allowing filtering on domain/type/protocol. These are both common use cases. cBPF was chosen rather than eBPF, because the latter is often restricted in containers as well. These filters are run post the init phase of the request, which allows filters to even dip into data that is being passed in struct in user memory, as the init side of requests make that data stable by bringing it into the kernel. This allows filtering without needing to copy this data twice, or have filters etc know about the exact layout of the user data. The filters get the already copied and sanitized data passed. On top of that support is added for per-task filters, meaning that any ring created with a task that has a per-task filter will get those filters applied when it's created. These filters are inherited across fork as well. Once a filter has been registered, any further added filters may only further restrict what operations are permitted. Filters cannot change the return value of an operation, they can only permit or deny it based on the contents" * tag 'io_uring-bpf-restrictions.4-20260206' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux: io_uring: allow registration of per-task restrictions io_uring: add task fork hook io_uring/bpf_filter: add ref counts to struct io_bpf_filter io_uring/bpf_filter: cache lookup table in ctx->bpf_filters io_uring/bpf_filter: allow filtering on contents of struct open_how io_uring/net: allow filtering on IORING_OP_SOCKET data io_uring: add support for BPF filtering for opcode restrictions

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe: - Clean up the IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED and submitter task checking, mostly just in preparation for relaxing the locking for SINGLE_ISSUER in the future. - Improve IOPOLL by using a doubly linked list to manage completions. Previously it was singly listed, which meant that to complete request N in the chain 0..N-1 had to have completed first. With a doubly linked list we can complete whatever request completes in that order, rather than need to wait for a consecutive range to be available. This reduces latencies. - Improve the restriction setup and checking. Mostly in preparation for adding further features on top of that. Coming in a separate pull request. - Split out task_work and wait handling into separate files.

When set, statmount() returns mount information for the mount the fd resides on — including detached mounts (unmounted via umount2(MNT_DETACH)). For detached mounts the STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT and STATMOUNT_MNT_NS_ID mask bits are cleared since neither is meaningful. The capability check is skipped for STATMOUNT_BY_FD since holding an fd already implies prior access to the mount and equivalent information is available through fstatfs() and /proc/pid/mountinfo without privilege. Includes comprehensive selftests covering both attached and detached mount cases. - fs: Remove internal old mount API code (1 patch) Now that every in-tree filesystem has been converted to the new mount API, remove all the legacy shim code in fs_context.c that handled unconverted filesystems. This deletes ~280 lines including legacy_init_fs_context(), the legacy_fs_context struct, and associated wrappers. The mount(2) syscall path for userspace remains untouched. Documentation references to the legacy callbacks are cleaned up. - mount: add OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE to open_tree() Container runtimes currently use CLONE_NEWNS to copy the caller's entire mount namespace — only to then pivot_root() and recursively unmount everything they just copied. With large mount tables and thousands of parallel container launches this creates significant contention on the namespace semaphore. OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE copies only the specified mount tree (like OPEN_TREE_CLONE) but returns a mount namespace fd instead of a detached mount fd. The new namespace contains the copied tree mounted on top of a clone of the real rootfs. This functions as a combined unshare(CLONE_NEWNS) + pivot_root() in a single syscall. Works with user namespaces: an unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) followed by OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE creates a mount namespace owned by the new user namespace. Mount namespace file mounts are excluded from the copy to prevent cycles.

Currently pivot_root() does not work on the real rootfs because it cannot be unmounted. Userspace has to recursively delete initramfs contents manually before continuing boot, using the fragile switch_root sequence (overmount + chroot). Add nullfs, a minimal immutable filesystem that serves as the true root of the mount hierarchy. The mutable rootfs (tmpfs/ramfs) is mounted on top of it. This allows userspace to simply: chdir(new_root); pivot_root(".", "."); umount2(".", MNT_DETACH); without the traditional switch_root workarounds. systemd already handles this correctly. It tries pivot_root() first and falls back to MS_MOVE only when that fails. This also means rootfs mounts in unprivileged namespaces no longer need MNT_LOCKED, since the immutable nullfs guarantees nothing can be revealed by unmounting the covering mount. nullfs is a single-instance filesystem (get_tree_single()) marked SB_NOUSER | SB_I_NOEXEC | SB_I_NODEV with an immutable empty root directory. This means sooner or later it can be used to overmount other directories to hide their contents without any additional protection needed. We enable it unconditionally. If we see any real regression we'll hide it behind a boot option. nullfs has extensions beyond this in the future.

Each filesystem (xfs, ext4, erofs, f2fs, etc.) privately defines EFSCORRUPTED, and error reporting to fanotify is inconsistent or absent entirely. This introduces a generic fserror infrastructure built around struct super_block that gives filesystems a standard way to queue metadata and file I/O error reports for delivery to fsnotify. Errors are queued via mempools and queue_work to avoid holding filesystem locks in the notification path; unmount waits for pending events to drain. A new super_operations::report_error callback lets filesystem drivers respond to file I/O errors themselves (to be used by an upcoming XFS self-healing patchset).

As a result, the old rcu_read{,un}lock_trace() API is now deprecated. - RCU Torture Test: - Multiple improvements on kvm-series.sh (parallel run and progress showing metrics) - Add context checks to rcu_torture_timer() - Make config2csv.sh properly handle comments in .boot files - Include commit discription in testid.txt - Miscellaneous RCU changes: - Reduce synchronize_rcu() latency by reporting GP kthread's CPU QS early - Use suitable gfp_flags for the init_srcu_struct_nodes() - Fix rcu_read_unlock() deadloop due to softirq - Correctly compute probability to invoke ->exp_current() in rcutorture - Make expedited RCU CPU stall warnings detect stall-end races - RCU nocb: - Remove unnecessary WakeOvfIsDeferred wake path and callback overload handling - Extract nocb_defer_wakeup_cancel() helper * tag 'rcu.release.v7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rcu/linux: (25 commits) rcu/nocb: Extract nocb_defer_wakeup_cancel() helper rcu/nocb: Remove dead callback overload handling rcu/nocb: Remove unnecessary WakeOvfIsDeferred wake path rcu: Reduce synchronize_rcu() latency by reporting GP kthread's CPU QS early srcu: Use suitable gfp_flags for the init_srcu_struct_nodes() rcu: Fix rcu_read_unlock() deadloop due to softirq rcutorture: Correctly compute probability to invoke ->exp_current() rcu: Make expedited RCU CPU stall warnings detect stall-end races rcutorture: Add --kill-previous option to terminate previous kvm.sh runs rcutorture: Prevent concurrent kvm.sh runs on same source tree torture: Include commit discription in testid.txt torture: Make config2csv.sh properly handle comments in .boot files torture: Make kvm-series.sh give run numbers and totals torture: Make kvm-series.sh give build numbers and totals torture: Parallelize kvm-series.sh guest-OS execution rcutorture: Add context checks to rcu_torture_timer() rcutorture: Test rcu_tasks_trace_expedite_current() srcu: Create an rcu_tasks_trace_expedite_current() function checkpatch: Deprecate rcu_read_{,un}lock_trace() rcu: Update Requirements.rst for RCU Tasks Trace ...

2026-02-06bpf: Switch to bpf_selem_unlink_nofail in bpf_local_storage_{map_free, destroy}Amery Hung
Take care of rqspinlock error in bpf_local_storage_{map_free, destroy}() properly by switching to bpf_selem_unlink_nofail(). Both functions iterate their own RCU-protected list of selems and call bpf_selem_unlink_nofail(). In map_free(), to prevent infinite loop when both map_free() and destroy() fail to remove a selem from b->list (extremely unlikely), switch to hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(). In destroy(), also switch to hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() since we no longer iterate local_storage->list under local_storage->lock. bpf_selem_unlink() now becomes dedicated to helpers and syscalls paths so reuse_now should always be false. Remove it from the argument and hardcode it.
