====================
pull-request: can-next 2025-11-12
this is a pull request of 11 patches for net-next/main.
The first 3 patches are by Vadim Fedorenko and convert the CAN drivers
to use the ndo_hwtstamp callbacks.
Maud Spierings contributes a patch for the mcp251x driver that
converts it to use dev_err_probe().
The next 6 patches target the mcp251xfd driver and are by Gregor
Herburger and me. They add GPIO controller functionality to the
driver.
The final patch is by Chu Guangqing and fixes a typo in the bxcan
driver.

When INTEL_BMG_G21_IDS were added as a subplatform, token concatenation
operator usage was omitted, making INTEL_BMG_IDS not usable with
single-argument macros.
Fix that by adding the missing operator.

In the future, we will separate slab, folio and page from each other
and calling virt_to_folio() on an address allocated from slab will
return NULL. Delay the conversion from struct page to struct slab
until we know we're not dealing with a large kmalloc allocation.
There's a minor win for large kmalloc allocations as we avoid the
compound_head() hidden in virt_to_folio().
This deprecates calling ksize() on memory allocated by alloc_pages().
Today it becomes a warning and support will be removed entirely in
the future.
Introduce large_kmalloc_size() to abstract how we represent the size
of a large kmalloc allocation. For now, this is the same as
page_size(), but it will change with separately allocated memdescs.

In order to separate slabs from folios, we need to convert from any page
in a slab to the slab directly without going through a page to folio
conversion first.
Up to this point, page_slab() has followed the example of other memdesc
converters (page_folio(), page_ptdesc() etc) and just cast the pointer
to the requested type, regardless of whether the pointer is actually a
pointer to the correct type or not.
That changes with this commit; we check that the page actually belongs
to a slab and return NULL if it does not. Other memdesc converters will
adopt this convention in future.
kfence was the only user of page_slab(), so adjust it to the new way
of working. It will need to be touched again when we separate slab
from page.

Sometimes, users will not use all of the MIPI CSI 2 lanes available when
connecting to the MIPI CSI receiver of their device. Add a helper
function that checks the mbus_config for the device driver to allow
users to define the number of active data lanes through the
get_mbus_config op.
If the driver does not implement this op, fall back to using the maximum
number of lanes available.

When compiled with -ffunction-sections, a function named startup() will
be placed in .text.startup. However, .text.startup is also used by the
compiler for functions with __attribute__((constructor)).
That creates an ambiguity for the vmlinux linker script, which needs to
differentiate those two cases.
Similar naming conflicts exist for functions named exit(), split(),
unlikely(), hot() and unknown().
One potential solution would be to use '#ifdef CC_USING_FUNCTION_SECTIONS'
to create two distinct implementations of the TEXT_MAIN macro. However,
-ffunction-sections can be (and is) enabled or disabled on a per-object
basis (for example via ccflags-y or AUTOFDO_PROFILE).
So the recently unified TEXT_MAIN macro (commit 1ba9f8979426
("vmlinux.lds: Unify TEXT_MAIN, DATA_MAIN, and related macros")) is
necessary. This means there's no way for the linker script to
disambiguate things.
Instead, use objtool to warn on any function names whose resulting
section names might create ambiguity when the kernel is compiled (in
whole or in part) with -ffunction-sections.

Since:
6568f14cb5ae ("vmlinux.lds: Exclude .text.startup and .text.exit from TEXT_MAIN")
the TEXT_MAIN macro uses a series of patterns to prevent the
.text.startup[.*] and .text.exit[.*] sections from getting
linked into the vmlinux runtime .text.
That commit is a tad too aggressive: it also inadvertently filters out
valid runtime text sections like .text.start and
.text.start.constprop.0, which can be generated for a function named
start() when -ffunction-sections is enabled.
As a result, those sections become orphans when building with
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION for arm:
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.text.start.constprop.0' from `drivers/usb/host/sl811-hcd.o' being placed in section `.text.start.constprop.0'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.text.start.constprop.0' from `drivers/media/dvb-frontends/drxk_hard.o' being placed in section `.text.start.constprop.0'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.text.start' from `drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv0910.o' being placed in section `.text.start'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.text.start.constprop.0' from `drivers/media/pci/ddbridge/ddbridge-sx8.o' being placed in section `.text.start.constprop.0'
Fix that by explicitly adding the partial "substring" sections (.text.s,
.text.st, .text.sta, etc) and their cloned derivatives.
While this unfortunately means that TEXT_MAIN continues to grow,
these changes are ultimately necessary for proper support of
-ffunction-sections.

Extend KVM's export macro framework to provide EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM(),
and use the helper macro to export symbols for KVM throughout x86 if and
only if KVM will build one or more modules, and only for those modules.
To avoid unnecessary exports when CONFIG_KVM=m but kvm.ko will not be
built (because no vendor modules are selected), let arch code #define
EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM to suppress/override the exports.
Note, the set of symbols to restrict to KVM was generated by manual search
and audit; any "misses" are due to human error, not some grand plan.

Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org> says:
Hi Martin,
This patch series optimizes the hot path of the UFS driver by making
struct scsi_cmnd and struct ufshcd_lrb adjacent. Making these two data
structures adjacent is realized as follows:
@@ -9040,6 +9046,7 @@ static const struct scsi_host_template ufshcd_driver_template = {
.name = UFSHCD,
.proc_name = UFSHCD,
.map_queues = ufshcd_map_queues,
+ .cmd_size = sizeof(struct ufshcd_lrb),
.init_cmd_priv = ufshcd_init_cmd_priv,
.queuecommand = ufshcd_queuecommand,
.mq_poll = ufshcd_poll,
The following changes had to be made prior to making these two data
structures adjacent:
* Add support for driver-internal and reserved commands in the SCSI core.
* Instead of making the reserved command slot (hba->reserved_slot)
invisible to the SCSI core, let the SCSI core allocate a reserved command.
* Remove all UFS data structure members that are no longer needed
because struct scsi_cmnd and struct ufshcd_lrb are now adjacent
* Call ufshcd_init_lrb() from inside the code for queueing a command instead of
calling this function before I/O starts. This is necessary because
ufshcd_memory_alloc() allocates fewer instances than the block layer
allocates requests. See also the following code in the block layer
core:
if (blk_mq_init_request(set, hctx->fq->flush_rq, hctx_idx,
hctx->numa_node))
Although the UFS driver could be modified such that ufshcd_init_lrb()
is called from ufshcd_init_cmd_priv(), realizing this would require
moving the memory allocations that happen from inside
ufshcd_memory_alloc() into ufshcd_init_cmd_priv(). That would make
this patch series even larger. Although ufshcd_init_lrb() is called for each
command, the benefits of reduced indirection and better cache efficiency
outweigh the small overhead of per-command lrb initialization.
* ufshcd_add_scsi_host() happens now before any device management
commands are submitted. This change is necessary because this patch
makes device management command allocation happen when the SCSI host
is allocated.
* Allocate as many command slots as the host controller supports. Decrease
host->cmds_per_lun if necessary once it is clear whether or not the UFS
device supports less command slots than the host controller.
Please consider this patch series for the next merge window.
Thanks,
Bart.

We have a Switch Upstream Port (2b:00.0) that has a PTM Capability, but
doesn't advertise support for any PTM roles:
Capabilities: [220 v1] Precision Time Measurement
PTMCap: Requester- Responder- Root-
Linux enables PTM without looking into what roles it actually supports, and
apparently the Port immediately sends PTM Requests even though it doesn't
support the PTM Requester role. The messages include an invalid bus number,
so the Root Port detects an ACS Violation (see the PCIe r7.0, sec 6.12.1.1,
implementation note):
pci 0000:2b:00.0: [8086:5786] type 01 class 0x060400 PCIe Switch Upstream Port

The TLP Header shows a 4 DW header, no data (001b) Msg with Local routing
(1 0100b) with Requester ID 0x0000 and PTM Request code (0x52).
Fix this by enabling PTM only if the following conditions are true (see sec
6.21.1 figure 6-21):
- Endpoint must advertise PTM Requester Capable
- Switch Upstream Port must advertise PTM Responder Capable
- Root Port must advertise PTM Root Capable

Allocate a pseudo SCSI device if 'nr_reserved_cmds' has been set. Pseudo

any devices the LLD might create. Pseudo SCSI devices are excluded from
scanning and will not show up in sysfs. Additionally, pseudo SCSI
devices are skipped by shost_for_each_device(). This prevents that the

Quite some drivers are using management commands internally. These
commands typically use the same tag pool as regular SCSI commands. Tags
for these management commands are set aside before allocating the
block-mq tag bitmap for regular SCSI commands. The block layer already
supports this via the reserved tag mechanism. Add a new field
'nr_reserved_cmds' to the SCSI host template to instruct the block layer
to set aside a tag space for these management commands by using reserved
tags. Exclude reserved commands from .can_queue because .can_queue is
visible in sysfs.

In practical problem diagnosis, especially during the boot phase, it is
often desirable to know the call sequence. However, currently, apart from
adding print statements and recompiling the kernel, there seems to be no
good alternative. If dynamic_debug supported printing the call stack, it
would be very helpful for diagnosing issues. This patch add support '+d'

Commit 1f9a8286bc0c ("uaccess: always export _copy_[from|to]_user with
CONFIG_RUST") exports _copy_{from,to}_user() unconditionally, if RUST is
enabled. This pollutes exported symbols namespace, and spreads RUST
ifdefery in core files.
It's better to declare a corresponding helper under the rust/helpers,
similarly to how non-underscored copy_{from,to}_user() is handled.

The TAINT_RANDSTRUCT and TAINT_FWCTL flags are mistakenly set in the
taint_flags table as per-module flags. While this can be trivially
corrected, the issue can be avoided altogether by removing the
taint_flag.module field.
This is possible because, since commit 7fd8329ba502 ("taint/module: Clean
up global and module taint flags handling") in 2016, the handling of
module taint flags has been fully generic. Specifically,
module_flags_taint() can print all flags, and the required output buffer
size is properly defined in terms of TAINT_FLAGS_COUNT. The actual
per-module flags are always those added to module.taints by calls to
add_taint_module().

This warning occurs due to a conflict between crashkernel and System RAM
iomem resources.
The generic crashkernel reservation adds the crashkernel memory range to
/proc/iomem during early initialization. Later, all memblock ranges are
added to /proc/iomem as System RAM. If the crashkernel region overlaps
with any memblock range, it causes a conflict while adding those memblock
regions as iomem resources, triggering the above warning. The conflicting
memblock regions are then omitted from /proc/iomem.
For example, if the following crashkernel region is added to /proc/iomem:
20000000-11fffffff : Crash kernel
then the following memblock regions System RAM regions fail to be inserted:
00000000-7fffffff : System RAM
80000000-257fffffff : System RAM
Fix this by not adding the crashkernel memory to /proc/iomem on powerpc.
Introduce an architecture hook to let each architecture decide whether to
export the crashkernel region to /proc/iomem.
For more info checkout commit c40dd2f766440 ("powerpc: Add System RAM
to /proc/iomem") and commit bce074bdbc36 ("powerpc: insert System RAM
resource to prevent crashkernel conflict")
Note: Before switching to the generic crashkernel reservation, powerpc
never exported the crashkernel region to /proc/iomem.

In bypass mode, tasks are queued on per-CPU bypass DSQs. While this works well
in most cases, there is a failure mode where a BPF scheduler can skew task
placement severely before triggering bypass in highly over-saturated systems.
If most tasks end up concentrated on a few CPUs, those CPUs can accumulate
queues that are too long to drain in a reasonable time, leading to RCU stalls
and hung tasks.
Implement a simple timer-based load balancer that redistributes tasks across
CPUs within each NUMA node. The balancer runs periodically (default 500ms,
tunable via bypass_lb_intv_us module parameter) and moves tasks from overloaded
CPUs to underloaded ones.
When moving tasks between bypass DSQs, the load balancer holds nested DSQ locks
to avoid dropping and reacquiring the donor DSQ lock on each iteration, as
donor DSQs can be very long and highly contended. Add the SCX_ENQ_NESTED flag
and use raw_spin_lock_nested() in dispatch_enqueue() to support this. The load
balancer timer function reads scx_bypass_depth locklessly to check whether
bypass mode is active. Use WRITE_ONCE() when updating scx_bypass_depth to pair
with the READ_ONCE() in the timer function.
This has been tested on a 192 CPU dual socket AMD EPYC machine with ~20k
runnable tasks running scx_cpu0. As scx_cpu0 queues all tasks to CPU0, almost
all tasks end up on CPU0 creating severe imbalance. Without the load balancer,
disabling the scheduler can lead to RCU stalls and hung tasks, taking a very
long time to complete. With the load balancer, disable completes in about a
second.
The load balancing operation can be monitored using the sched_ext_bypass_lb
tracepoint and disabled by setting bypass_lb_intv_us to 0.
v2: Lock both rq and DSQ in bypass_lb_cpu() and use dispatch_dequeue_locked()
to prevent races with dispatch_dequeue() (Andrea Righi).

A poorly behaving BPF scheduler can trigger hard lockup. For example, on a
large system with many tasks pinned to different subsets of CPUs, if the BPF
scheduler puts all tasks in a single DSQ and lets all CPUs at it, the DSQ lock
can be contended to the point where hardlockup triggers. Unfortunately,
hardlockup can be the first signal out of such situations, thus requiring
hardlockup handling.
Hook scx_hardlockup() into the hardlockup detector to try kicking out the
current scheduler in an attempt to recover the system to a good state. The
handling strategy can delay watchdog taking its own action by one polling
period; however, given that the only remediation for hardlockup is crash, this
is likely an acceptable trade-off.
v2: Add missing dummy scx_hardlockup() definition for
!CONFIG_SCHED_CLASS_EXT (kernel test bot).

Bypass mode routes tasks through fallback dispatch queues. Originally a single
global DSQ, b7b3b2dbae73 ("sched_ext: Split the global DSQ per NUMA node")
changed this to per-node DSQs to resolve NUMA-related livelocks.
Dan Schatzberg found per-node DSQs can still livelock when many threads are
pinned to different small CPU subsets: each CPU must scan many incompatible
tasks to find runnable ones, causing severe contention with high CPU counts.
Switch to per-CPU bypass DSQs. Each task queues on its current CPU. Default
idle CPU selection and direct dispatch handle most cases well.
This introduces a failure mode when tasks concentrate on one CPU in
over-saturated systems. If the BPF scheduler severely skews placement before
triggering bypass, that CPU's queue may be too long to drain, causing RCU
stalls. A load balancer in a future patch will address this. The bypass DSQ is
separate from local DSQ to enable load balancing: local DSQs use rq locks,
preventing efficient scanning and transfer across CPUs, especially problematic
when systems are already contended.
v2: Clarified why bypass DSQ is separate from local DSQ (Andrea Righi).

There have been reported cases of bypass mode not making forward progress fast
enough. The 20ms default slice is unnecessarily long for bypass mode where the
primary goal is ensuring all tasks can make forward progress.
Introduce SCX_SLICE_BYPASS set to 5ms and make the scheduler automatically
switch to it when entering bypass mode. Also make the bypass slice value
tunable through the slice_bypass_us module parameter (adjustable between 100us
and 100ms) to make it easier to test whether slice durations are a factor in
problem cases.
v3: Use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE for scx_slice_dfl access (Dan).

The fw_attributes_class provides a much cleaner interface to all of the
attributes introduced to asus-wmi. This patch moves all of these extra
attributes over to fw_attributes_class, and shifts the bulk of these
definitions to a new kernel module to reduce the clutter of asus-wmi
with the intention of deprecating the asus-wmi attributes in future.
The work applies only to WMI methods which don't have a clearly defined
place within the sysfs and as a result ended up lumped together in
/sys/devices/platform/asus-nb-wmi/ with no standard API.
Where possible the fw attrs now implement defaults, min, max, scalar,
choices, etc. As en example dgpu_disable becomes:
/sys/class/firmware-attributes/asus-armoury/attributes/dgpu_disable/
├── current_value
├── display_name
├── possible_values

The generic inode_permission() routine does work which is known to be of
no significance for lookup. There are checks for MAY_WRITE, while the
requested permission is MAY_EXEC. Additionally devcgroup_inode_permission()
is called to check for devices, but it is an invariant the inode is a
directory.
Absent a ->permission func, execution lands in generic_permission()
which checks upfront if the requested permission is granted for
everyone.
We can elide the branches which are guaranteed to be false and cut
straight to the check if everyone happens to be allowed MAY_EXEC on the
inode (which holds true most of the time).
Moreover, filesystems which provide their own ->permission routine can
take advantage of the optimization by setting the IOP_FASTPERM_MAY_EXEC
flag on their inodes, which they can legitimately do if their MAY_EXEC
handling matches generic_permission().
As a simple benchmark, as part of compilation gcc issues access(2) on
numerous long paths, for example /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/12/crtendS.o
Issuing access(2) on it in a loop on ext4 on Sapphire Rapids (ops/s):

after: 3987789 (+5%)

Pending writebacks must be accounted for to determine when all requests
have completed and writeback on the folio should be ended. Currently
this is done by atomically incrementing ifs->write_bytes_pending for
every range to be written back.
Instead, the number of atomic operations can be minimized by setting
ifs->write_bytes_pending to the folio size, internally tracking how many
bytes are written back asynchronously, and then after sending off all
the requests, decrementing ifs->write_bytes_pending by the number of
bytes not written back asynchronously. Now, for N ranges written back,
only N + 2 atomic operations are required instead of 2N + 2.

When APEI fails to handle a stage-2 synchronous external abort (SEA),
today KVM injects an asynchronous SError to the VCPU then resumes it,
which usually results in unpleasant guest kernel panic.
One major situation of guest SEA is when vCPU consumes recoverable
uncorrected memory error (UER). Although SError and guest kernel panic
effectively stops the propagation of corrupted memory, guest may
re-use the corrupted memory if auto-rebooted; in worse case, guest
boot may run into poisoned memory. So there is room to recover from
an UER in a more graceful manner.
Alternatively KVM can redirect the synchronous SEA event to VMM to
- Reduce blast radius if possible. VMM can inject a SEA to VCPU via
KVM's existing KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS API. If the memory poison
consumption or fault is not from guest kernel, blast radius can be
limited to the triggering thread in guest userspace, so VM can
keep running.
- Allow VMM to protect from future memory poison consumption by
unmapping the page from stage-2, or to interrupt guest of the
poisoned page so guest kernel can unmap it from stage-1 page table.
- Allow VMM to track SEA events that VM customers care about, to restart
VM when certain number of distinct poison events have happened,
to provide observability to customers in log management UI.
Introduce an userspace-visible feature to enable VMM handle SEA:
- KVM_CAP_ARM_SEA_TO_USER. As the alternative fallback behavior
when host APEI fails to claim a SEA, userspace can opt in this new
capability to let KVM exit to userspace during SEA if it is not
owned by host.
- KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA. A new exit reason is introduced for this.
KVM fills kvm_run.arm_sea with as much as possible information about
the SEA, enabling VMM to emulate SEA to guest by itself.
- Sanitized ESR_EL2. The general rule is to keep only the bits
useful for userspace and relevant to guest memory.
- Flags indicating if faulting guest physical address is valid.
- Faulting guest physical and virtual addresses if valid.

The efivarfs filesystems must always be frozen and thawed to resync
variable state. Make it so.
