git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull irq chip driver updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Use the startup/shutdown callbacks for the PCI/MSI per device interrupt domains. This allows us to initialize the RISCV PLIC interrupt hierarchy correctly and provides a mechanism to decouple the masking and unmasking during run-time from the expensive PCI mask and unmask when the underlying MSI provider implementation allows the interrupt to be masked. - Initialize the RISCV PLIC MSI interrupt hierarchy correctly so that the affinity assignment works correctly by switching it over to the startup/shutdown scheme - Allow MSI providers to opt out from masking a PCI/MSI interrupt at the PCI device during operation when the provider can mask the interrupt at the underlying interrupt chip. This reduces the overhead in scenarios where disable_irq()/enable_irq() is utilized frequently by a driver. The PCI/MSI device level [un]masking is only required on startup and shutdown in this case. - Remove the conditional mask/unmask logic in the PCI/MSI layer as this is now handled unconditionally. - Replace the hardcoded interrupt routing in the Loongson EIOINTC interrupt driver to respect the firmware settings and spread them out to different CPU interrupt inputs so that the demultiplexing handler only needs to read only a single 64-bit status register instead of four, which significantly reduces the overhead in VMs as the status register access causes a VM exit. - Add support for the new AST2700 SCU interrupt controllers - Use the legacy interrupt domain setup for the Loongson PCH-LPC interrupt controller, which resembles the x86 legacy PIC setup and has the same hardcoded legacy requirements. - The usual set of cleanups, fixes and improvements all over the place * tag 'irq-drivers-2025-09-29' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (25 commits) irqchip/loongson-pch-lpc: Use legacy domain for PCH-LPC IRQ controller PCI/MSI: Remove the conditional parent [un]mask logic irqchip/msi-lib: Honor the MSI_FLAG_PCI_MSI_MASK_PARENT flag irqchip/aspeed-scu-ic: Add support for AST2700 SCU interrupt controllers dt-bindings: interrupt-controller: aspeed: Add AST2700 SCU IC compatibles dt-bindings: mfd: aspeed: Add AST2700 SCU compatibles irqchip/aspeed-scu-ic: Refactor driver to support variant-based initialization irqchip/gic-v5: Fix error handling in gicv5_its_irq_domain_alloc() irqchip/gic-v5: Fix loop in gicv5_its_create_itt_two_level() cleanup path irqchip/gic-v5: Delete a stray tab irqchip/sg2042-msi: Set irq type according to DT configuration riscv: sophgo: dts: sg2044: Change msi irq type to IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING riscv: sophgo: dts: sg2042: Change msi irq type to IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING irqchip/gic-v2m: Handle Multiple MSI base IRQ Alignment irqchip/renesas-rzg2l: Remove dev_err_probe() if error is -ENOMEM irqchip: Use int type to store negative error codes irqchip/gic-v5: Remove the redundant ITS cache invalidation PCI/MSI: Check MSI_FLAG_PCI_MSI_MASK_PARENT in cond_[startup|shutdown]_parent() irqchip/loongson-eiointc: Add multiple interrupt pin routing support irqchip/loongson-eiointc: Route interrupt parsed from bios table ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull irq core updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A set of updates for the interrupt core subsystem: - Introduce irq_chip_[startup|shutdown]_parent() to prepare for addressing a few short comings in the PCI/MSI interrupt subsystem. It allows to utilize the interrupt chip startup/shutdown callbacks for initializing the interrupt chip hierarchy properly on certain RISCV implementations and provides a mechanism to reduce the overhead of masking and unmasking PCI/MSI interrupts during operation when the underlying MSI provider can mask the interrupt. The actual usage comes with the interrupt driver pull request. - Add generic error handling for devm_request_*_irq() This allows to remove the zoo of random error printk's all over the usage sites. - Add a mechanism to warn about long-running interrupt handlers Long running interrupt handlers can introduce latencies and tracking them down is a tedious task. The tracking has to be enabled with a threshold on the kernel command line and utilizes a static branch to remove the overhead when disabled. - Update and extend the selftests which validate the CPU hotplug interrupt migration logic - Allow dropping the per CPU softirq lock on PREEMPT_RT kernels, which causes contention and latencies all over the place. The serialization requirements have been pushed down into the actual affected usage sites already. - The usual small cleanups and improvements" * tag 'irq-core-2025-09-29' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: softirq: Allow to drop the softirq-BKL lock on PREEMPT_RT softirq: Provide a handshake for canceling tasklets via polling genirq/test: Ensure CPU 1 is online for hotplug test genirq/test: Drop CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_MIGRATION assumptions genirq/test: Depend on SPARSE_IRQ genirq/test: Fail early if interrupt request fails genirq/test: Factor out fake-virq setup genirq/test: Select IRQ_DOMAIN genirq/test: Fix depth tests on architectures with NOREQUEST by default. genirq: Add support for warning on long-running interrupt handlers genirq/devres: Add error handling in devm_request_*_irq() genirq: Add irq_chip_(startup/shutdown)_parent() genirq: Remove GENERIC_IRQ_LEGACY

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 SEV and apic updates from Borislav Petkov: - Add functionality to provide runtime firmware updates for the non-x86 parts of an AMD platform like the security processor (ASP) firmware, modules etc, for example. The intent being that these updates are interim, live fixups before a proper BIOS update can be attempted - Add guest support for AMD's Secure AVIC feature which gives encrypted guests the needed protection against a malicious hypervisor generating unexpected interrupts and injecting them into such guest, thus interfering with its operation in an unexpected and negative manner. The advantage of this scheme is that the guest determines which interrupts and when to accept them vs leaving that to the benevolence (or not) of the hypervisor - Strictly separate the startup code from the rest of the kernel where former is executed from the initial 1:1 mapping of memory. The problem was that the toolchain-generated version of the code was being executed from a different mapping of memory than what was "assumed" during code generation, needing an ever-growing pile of fixups for absolute memory references which are invalid in the early, 1:1 memory mapping during boot. The major advantage of this is that there's no need to check the 1:1 mapping portion of the code for absolute relocations anymore and get rid of the RIP_REL_REF() macro sprinkling all over the place.

Confidential computing: - Add support for accepting secrets from firmware (e.g. ACPI CCEL) and mapping them with appropriate attributes. CPU features: - Advertise atomic floating-point instructions to userspace - Extend Spectre workarounds to cover additional Arm CPU variants - Extend list of CPUs that support break-before-make level 2 and guarantee not to generate TLB conflict aborts for changes of mapping granularity (BBML2_NOABORT) - Add GCS support to our uprobes implementation. Documentation: - Remove bogus SME documentation concerning register state when entering/exiting streaming mode. Entry code: - Switch over to the generic IRQ entry code (GENERIC_IRQ_ENTRY) - Micro-optimise syscall entry path with a compiler branch hint. Memory management: - Enable huge mappings in vmalloc space even when kernel page-table dumping is enabled - Tidy up the types used in our early MMU setup code - Rework rodata= for closer parity with the behaviour on x86 - For CPUs implementing BBML2_NOABORT, utilise block mappings in the linear map even when rodata= applies to virtual aliases - Don't re-allocate the virtual region between '_text' and '_stext', as doing so confused tools parsing /proc/vmcore. Miscellaneous: - Clean-up Kconfig menuconfig text for architecture features - Avoid redundant bitmap_empty() during determination of supported SME vector lengths - Re-enable warnings when building the 32-bit vDSO object - Avoid breaking our eggs at the wrong end.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains a larger set of changes around the generic namespace infrastructure of the kernel. Each specific namespace type (net, cgroup, mnt, ...) embedds a struct ns_common which carries the reference count of the namespace and so on. We open-coded and cargo-culted so many quirks for each namespace type that it just wasn't scalable anymore. So given there's a bunch of new changes coming in that area I've started cleaning all of this up. The core change is to make it possible to correctly initialize every namespace uniformly and derive the correct initialization settings from the type of the namespace such as namespace operations, namespace type and so on. This leaves the new ns_common_init() function with a single parameter which is the specific namespace type which derives the correct parameters statically. This also means the compiler will yell as soon as someone does something remotely fishy. The ns_common_init() addition also allows us to remove ns_alloc_inum() and drops any special-casing of the initial network namespace in the network namespace initialization code that Linus complained about. Another part is reworking the reference counting. The reference counting was open-coded and copy-pasted for each namespace type even though they all followed the same rules. This also removes all open accesses to the reference count and makes it private and only uses a very small set of dedicated helpers to manipulate them just like we do for e.g., files. In addition this generalizes the mount namespace iteration infrastructure introduced a few cycles ago. As reminder, the vfs makes it possible to iterate sequentially and bidirectionally through all mount namespaces on the system or all mount namespaces that the caller holds privilege over. This allow userspace to iterate over all mounts in all mount namespaces using the listmount() and statmount() system call. Each mount namespace has a unique identifier for the lifetime of the systems that is exposed to userspace. The network namespace also has a unique identifier working exactly the same way. This extends the concept to all other namespace types. The new nstree type makes it possible to lookup namespaces purely by their identifier and to walk the namespace list sequentially and bidirectionally for all namespace types, allowing userspace to iterate through all namespaces. Looking up namespaces in the namespace tree works completely locklessly. This also means we can move the mount namespace onto the generic infrastructure and remove a bunch of code and members from struct mnt_namespace itself. There's a bunch of stuff coming on top of this in the future but for now this uses the generic namespace tree to extend a concept introduced first for pidfs a few cycles ago. For a while now we have supported pidfs file handles for pidfds. This has proven to be very useful. This extends the concept to cover namespaces as well. It is possible to encode and decode namespace file handles using the common name_to_handle_at() and open_by_handle_at() apis. As with pidfs file handles, namespace file handles are exhaustive, meaning it is not required to actually hold a reference to nsfs in able to decode aka open_by_handle_at() a namespace file handle. Instead the FD_NSFS_ROOT constant can be passed which will let the kernel grab a reference to the root of nsfs internally and thus decode the file handle. Namespaces file descriptors can already be derived from pidfds which means they aren't subject to overmount protection bugs. IOW, it's irrelevant if the caller would not have access to an appropriate /proc/<pid>/ns/ directory as they could always just derive the namespace based on a pidfd already. It has the same advantage as pidfds. It's possible to reliably and for the lifetime of the system refer to a namespace without pinning any resources and to compare them trivially. Permission checking is kept simple. If the caller is located in the namespace the file handle refers to they are able to open it otherwise they must hold privilege over the owning namespace of the relevant namespace. The namespace file handle layout is exposed as uapi and has a stable and extensible format. For now it simply contains the namespace identifier, the namespace type, and the inode number. The stable format means that userspace may construct its own namespace file handles without going through name_to_handle_at() as they are already allowed for pidfs and cgroup file handles" * tag 'namespace-6.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (65 commits) ns: drop assert ns: move ns type into struct ns_common nstree: make struct ns_tree private ns: add ns_debug() ns: simplify ns_common_init() further cgroup: add missing ns_common include ns: use inode initializer for initial namespaces selftests/namespaces: verify initial namespace inode numbers ns: rename to __ns_ref nsfs: port to ns_ref_*() helpers net: port to ns_ref_*() helpers uts: port to ns_ref_*() helpers ipv4: use check_net() net: use check_net() net-sysfs: use check_net() user: port to ns_ref_*() helpers time: port to ns_ref_*() helpers pid: port to ns_ref_*() helpers ipc: port to ns_ref_*() helpers cgroup: port to ns_ref_*() helpers ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs inode updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains a series I originally wrote and that Eric brought over the finish line. It moves out the i_crypt_info and i_verity_info pointers out of 'struct inode' and into the fs-specific part of the inode. So now the few filesytems that actually make use of this pay the price in their own private inode storage instead of forcing it upon every user of struct inode. The pointer for the crypt and verity info is simply found by storing an offset to its address in struct fsverity_operations and struct fscrypt_operations. This shrinks struct inode by 16 bytes. I hope to move a lot more out of it in the future so that struct inode becomes really just about very core stuff that we need, much like struct dentry and struct file, instead of the dumping ground it has become over the years. On top of this are a various changes associated with the ongoing inode lifetime handling rework that multiple people are pushing forward: - Stop accessing inode->i_count directly in f2fs and gfs2. They simply should use the __iget() and iput() helpers - Make the i_state flags an enum - Rework the iput() logic Currently, if we are the last iput, and we have the I_DIRTY_TIME bit set, we will grab a reference on the inode again and then mark it dirty and then redo the put. This is to make sure we delay the time update for as long as possible We can rework this logic to simply dec i_count if it is not 1, and if it is do the time update while still holding the i_count reference Then we can replace the atomic_dec_and_lock with locking the ->i_lock and doing atomic_dec_and_test, since we did the atomic_add_unless above - Add an icount_read() helper and convert everyone that accesses inode->i_count directly for this purpose to use the helper - Expand dump_inode() to dump more information about an inode helping in debugging - Add some might_sleep() annotations to iput() and associated helpers" * tag 'vfs-6.18-rc1.inode' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: add might_sleep() annotation to iput() and more fs: expand dump_inode() inode: fix whitespace issues fs: add an icount_read helper fs: rework iput logic fs: make the i_state flags an enum fs: stop accessing ->i_count directly in f2fs and gfs2 fsverity: check IS_VERITY() in fsverity_cleanup_inode() fs: remove inode::i_verity_info btrfs: move verity info pointer to fs-specific part of inode f2fs: move verity info pointer to fs-specific part of inode ext4: move verity info pointer to fs-specific part of inode fsverity: add support for info in fs-specific part of inode fs: remove inode::i_crypt_info ceph: move crypt info pointer to fs-specific part of inode ubifs: move crypt info pointer to fs-specific part of inode f2fs: move crypt info pointer to fs-specific part of inode ext4: move crypt info pointer to fs-specific part of inode fscrypt: add support for info in fs-specific part of inode fscrypt: replace raw loads of info pointer with helper function

This flag prevents the SIGPIPE signal from being raised when writing on disconnected pipes or sockets. The flag is handled directly by the pipe filesystem and converted to the existing MSG_NOSIGNAL flag for sockets - Allow to pass pid namespace as procfs mount option Ever since the introduction of pid namespaces, procfs has had very implicit behaviour surrounding them (the pidns used by a procfs mount is auto-selected based on the mounting process's active pidns, and the pidns itself is basically hidden once the mount has been constructed) This implicit behaviour has historically meant that userspace was required to do some special dances in order to configure the pidns of a procfs mount as desired. Examples include: * In order to bypass the mnt_too_revealing() check, Kubernetes creates a procfs mount from an empty pidns so that user namespaced containers can be nested (without this, the nested containers would fail to mount procfs) But this requires forking off a helper process because you cannot just one-shot this using mount(2) * Container runtimes in general need to fork into a container before configuring its mounts, which can lead to security issues in the case of shared-pidns containers (a privileged process in the pidns can interact with your container runtime process) While SUID_DUMP_DISABLE and user namespaces make this less of an issue, the strict need for this due to a minor uAPI wart is kind of unfortunate Things would be much easier if there was a way for userspace to just specify the pidns they want.

2025-09-27bpf: Enforce expected_attach_type for tailcall compatibilityDaniel Borkmann
Yinhao et al. recently reported: Our fuzzer tool discovered an uninitialized pointer issue in the bpf_prog_test_run_xdp() function within the Linux kernel's BPF subsystem. This leads to a NULL pointer dereference when a BPF program attempts to deference the txq member of struct xdp_buff object. The test initializes two programs of BPF_PROG_TYPE_XDP: progA acts as the entry point for bpf_prog_test_run_xdp() and its expected_attach_type can neither be of be BPF_XDP_DEVMAP nor BPF_XDP_CPUMAP. progA calls into a slot of a tailcall map it owns. progB's expected_attach_type must be BPF_XDP_DEVMAP to pass xdp_is_valid_access() validation. The program returns struct xdp_md's egress_ifindex, and the latter is only allowed to be accessed under mentioned expected_attach_type. progB is then inserted into the tailcall which progA calls. The underlying issue goes beyond XDP though. Another example are programs of type BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK_ADDR. sock_addr_is_valid_access() as well as sock_addr_func_proto() have different logic depending on the programs' expected_attach_type. Similarly, a program attached to BPF_CGROUP_INET4_GETPEERNAME should not be allowed doing a tailcall into a program which calls bpf_bind() out of BPF which is only enabled for BPF_CGROUP_INET4_CONNECT. In short, specifying expected_attach_type allows to open up additional functionality or restrictions beyond what the basic bpf_prog_type enables. The use of tailcalls must not violate these constraints. Fix it by enforcing expected_attach_type in __bpf_prog_map_compatible(). Note that we only enforce this for tailcall maps, but not for BPF devmaps or cpumaps: There, the programs are invoked through dev_map_bpf_prog_run*() and cpu_map_bpf_prog_run*() which set up a new environment / context and therefore these situations are not prone to this issue.

2025-09-25bpf: Add lookup_and_delete_elem for BPF_MAP_STACK_TRACETao Chen
The stacktrace map can be easily full, which will lead to failure in obtaining the stack. In addition to increasing the size of the map, another solution is to delete the stack_id after looking it up from the user, so extend the existing bpf_map_lookup_and_delete_elem() functionality to stacktrace map types.

2025-09-25include/linux/pgtable.h: convert arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() and friends to ↵Andrew Morton
static inlines commit c519c3c0a113 ("mm/kasan: avoid lazy MMU mode hazards") introduced the use of arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode(), which results in the compiler complaining about "statement has no effect", when __HAVE_ARCH_LAZY_MMU_MODE is not defined in include/linux/pgtable.h The exact warning/error is: In file included from ./include/linux/kasan.h:37, from mm/kasan/shadow.c:14: mm/kasan/shadow.c: In function kasan_populate_vmalloc_pte: ./include/linux/pgtable.h:247:41: error: statement with no effect [-Werror=unused-value] 247 | #define arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() (LAZY_MMU_DEFAULT) | ^ mm/kasan/shadow.c:322:9: note: in expansion of macro arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode> 322 | arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode(); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ switching these "functions" to static inlines fixes this up.

2025-09-25mm/hugetlb: fix copy_hugetlb_page_range() to use ->pt_share_countJane Chu
commit 59d9094df3d79 ("mm: hugetlb: independent PMD page table shared count") introduced ->pt_share_count dedicated to hugetlb PMD share count tracking, but omitted fixing copy_hugetlb_page_range(), leaving the function relying on page_count() for tracking that no longer works. When lazy page table copy for hugetlb is disabled, that is, revert commit bcd51a3c679d ("hugetlb: lazy page table copies in fork()") fork()'ing with hugetlb PMD sharing quickly lockup - [ 239.446559] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#75 stuck for 27s!
