8 daysarch: 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>

2025-09-16powerpc/ftrace: support CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RETVALAditya Bodkhe
commit a1be9ccc57f0 ("function_graph: Support recording and printing the return value of function") introduced support for function graph return value tracing. Additionally, commit a3ed4157b7d8 ("fgraph: Replace fgraph_ret_regs with ftrace_regs") further refactored and optimized the implementation, making `struct fgraph_ret_regs` unnecessary. This patch enables the above modifications for powerpc all, ensuring that function graph return value tracing is available on this architecture. In this patch we have redefined two functions: - 'ftrace_regs_get_return_value()' - the existing implementation on ppc returns -ve of return value based on some conditions not relevant to our patch. - 'ftrace_regs_get_frame_pointer()' - always returns 0 in current code . We also allocate stack space to equivalent of 'SWITCH_FRAME_SIZE', allowing us to directly use predefined offsets like 'GPR3' and 'GPR4' this keeps code clean and consistent with already defined offsets . After this patch, v6.14+ kernel can also be built with FPROBE on powerpc but there are a few other build and runtime dependencies for FPROBE to work properly. The next patch addresses them.

2025-09-15powerpc64/modules: replace stub allocation sentinel with an explicit counterJoe Lawrence
The logic for allocating ppc64_stub_entry trampolines in the .stubs section relies on an inline sentinel, where a NULL .funcdata member indicates an available slot. While preceding commits fixed the initialization bugs that led to ftrace stub corruption, the sentinel-based approach remains fragile: it depends on an implicit convention between subsystems modifying different struct types in the same memory area. Replace the sentinel with an explicit counter, module->arch.num_stubs. Instead of iterating through memory to find a NULL marker, the module loader uses this counter as the boundary for the next free slot. This simplifies the allocation code, hardens it against future changes to stub structures, and removes the need for an extra relocation slot previously reserved to terminate the sentinel search.

2025-09-15powerpc/ftrace: ensure ftrace record ops are always set for NOPsJoe Lawrence
When an ftrace call site is converted to a NOP, its corresponding dyn_ftrace record should have its ftrace_ops pointer set to ftrace_nop_ops. Correct the powerpc implementation to ensure the ftrace_rec_set_nop_ops() helper is called on all successful NOP initialization paths.

2025-09-03sched/fair: Get rid of sched_domains_curr_level hack for tl->cpumask()Peter Zijlstra
Leon [1] and Vinicius [2] noted a topology_span_sane() warning during their testing starting from v6.16-rc1. Debug that followed pointed to the tl->mask() for the NODE domain being incorrectly resolved to that of the highest NUMA domain. tl->mask() for NODE is set to the sd_numa_mask() which depends on the global "sched_domains_curr_level" hack. "sched_domains_curr_level" is set to the "tl->numa_level" during tl traversal in build_sched_domains() calling sd_init() but was not reset before topology_span_sane(). Since "tl->numa_level" still reflected the old value from build_sched_domains(), topology_span_sane() for the NODE domain trips when the span of the last NUMA domain overlaps. Instead of replicating the "sched_domains_curr_level" hack, get rid of it entirely and instead, pass the entire "sched_domain_topology_level" object to tl->cpumask() function to prevent such mishap in the future. sd_numa_mask() now directly references "tl->numa_level" instead of relying on the global "sched_domains_curr_level" hack to index into sched_domains_numa_masks[]. The original warning was reproducible on the following NUMA topology reported by Leon: $ sudo numactl -H available: 5 nodes (0-4) node 0 cpus: 0 1 node 0 size: 2927 MB node 0 free: 1603 MB node 1 cpus: 2 3 node 1 size: 3023 MB node 1 free: 3008 MB node 2 cpus: 4 5 node 2 size: 3023 MB node 2 free: 3007 MB node 3 cpus: 6 7 node 3 size: 3023 MB node 3 free: 3002 MB node 4 cpus: 8 9 node 4 size: 3022 MB node 4 free: 2718 MB node distances: node 0 1 2 3 4 0: 10 39 38 37 36 1: 39 10 38 37 36 2: 38 38 10 37 36 3: 37 37 37 10 36 4: 36 36 36 36 10 The above topology can be mimicked using the following QEMU cmd that was used to reproduce the warning and test the fix: sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu host \ -m 20G -smp cpus=10,sockets=10 -machine q35 \ -object memory-backend-ram,size=4G,id=m0 \ -object memory-backend-ram,size=4G,id=m1 \ -object memory-backend-ram,size=4G,id=m2 \ -object memory-backend-ram,size=4G,id=m3 \ -object memory-backend-ram,size=4G,id=m4 \ -numa node,cpus=0-1,memdev=m0,nodeid=0 \ -numa node,cpus=2-3,memdev=m1,nodeid=1 \ -numa node,cpus=4-5,memdev=m2,nodeid=2 \ -numa node,cpus=6-7,memdev=m3,nodeid=3 \ -numa node,cpus=8-9,memdev=m4,nodeid=4 \ -numa dist,src=0,dst=1,val=39 \ -numa dist,src=0,dst=2,val=38 \ -numa dist,src=0,dst=3,val=37 \ -numa dist,src=0,dst=4,val=36 \ -numa dist,src=1,dst=0,val=39 \ -numa dist,src=1,dst=2,val=38 \ -numa dist,src=1,dst=3,val=37 \ -numa dist,src=1,dst=4,val=36 \ -numa dist,src=2,dst=0,val=38 \ -numa dist,src=2,dst=1,val=38 \ -numa dist,src=2,dst=3,val=37 \ -numa dist,src=2,dst=4,val=36 \ -numa dist,src=3,dst=0,val=37 \ -numa dist,src=3,dst=1,val=37 \ -numa dist,src=3,dst=2,val=37 \ -numa dist,src=3,dst=4,val=36 \ -numa dist,src=4,dst=0,val=36 \ -numa dist,src=4,dst=1,val=36 \ -numa dist,src=4,dst=2,val=36 \ -numa dist,src=4,dst=3,val=36 \ ...

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.

2025-09-01powerpc: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in non-uapi headersThomas Huth
While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembler code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This is bad since macros starting with two underscores are names that are reserved by the C language. It can also be very confusing for the developers when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize now on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers. This is almost a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement), apart from tweaking two comments manually in arch/powerpc/include/asm/bug.h and arch/powerpc/include/asm/kasan.h (which did not have proper underscores at the end) and fixing a checkpatch error about spaces in arch/powerpc/include/asm/spu_csa.h.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull fileattr updates from Christian Brauner: "This introduces the new file_getattr() and file_setattr() system calls after lengthy discussions. Both system calls serve as successors and extensible companions to the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR system calls which have started to show their age in addition to being named in a way that makes it easy to conflate them with extended attribute related operations. These syscalls allow userspace to set filesystem inode attributes on special files. One of the usage examples is the XFS quota projects. XFS has project quotas which could be attached to a directory. All new inodes in these directories inherit project ID set on parent directory. The project is created from userspace by opening and calling FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR on each inode. This is not possible for special files such as FIFO, SOCK, BLK etc. Therefore, some inodes are left with empty project ID. Those inodes then are not shown in the quota accounting but still exist in the directory. This is not critical but in the case when special files are created in the directory with already existing project quota, these new inodes inherit extended attributes. This creates a mix of special files with and without attributes. Moreover, special files with attributes don't have a possibility to become clear or change the attributes. This, in turn, prevents userspace from re-creating quota project on these existing files. In addition, these new system calls allow the implementation of additional attributes that we couldn't or didn't want to fit into the legacy ioctls anymore" * tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.fileattr' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: tighten a sanity check in file_attr_to_fileattr() tree-wide: s/struct fileattr/struct file_kattr/g fs: introduce file_getattr and file_setattr syscalls fs: prepare for extending file_get/setattr() fs: make vfs_fileattr_[get|set] return -EOPNOTSUPP selinux: implement inode_file_[g|s]etattr hooks lsm: introduce new hooks for setting/getting inode fsxattr fs: split fileattr related helpers into separate file
2025-07-26PCI: pnv_php: Fix surprise plug detection and recoveryTimothy Pearson
The existing PowerNV hotplug code did not handle surprise plug events correctly, leading to a complete failure of the hotplug system after device removal and a required reboot to detect new devices. This comes down to two issues: 1) When a device is surprise removed, often the bridge upstream port will cause a PE freeze on the PHB. If this freeze is not cleared, the MSI interrupts from the bridge hotplug notification logic will not be received by the kernel, stalling all plug events on all slots associated with the PE. 2) When a device is removed from a slot, regardless of surprise or programmatic removal, the associated PHB/PE ls left frozen. If this freeze is not cleared via a fundamental reset, skiboot is unable to clear the freeze and cannot retrain / rescan the slot. This also requires a reboot to clear the freeze and redetect the device in the slot. Issue the appropriate unfreeze and rescan commands on hotplug events, and don't oops on hotplug if pci_bus_to_OF_node() returns NULL.

2025-07-22powerpc: Don't use %pK through printkThomas Weißschuh
In the past %pK was preferable to %p as it would not leak raw pointer values into the kernel log. Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p") the regular %p has been improved to avoid this issue. Furthermore, restricted pointers ("%pK") were never meant to be used through printk(). They can still unintentionally leak raw pointers or acquire sleeping locks in atomic contexts. Switch to the regular pointer formatting which is safer and easier to reason about.

2025-07-19Add a new optional ",cma" suffix to the crashkernel= command line optionJiri Bohac
Patch series "kdump: crashkernel reservation from CMA", v5. This series implements a way to reserve additional crash kernel memory using CMA. Currently, all the memory for the crash kernel is not usable by the 1st (production) kernel. It is also unmapped so that it can't be corrupted by the fault that will eventually trigger the crash. This makes sense for the memory actually used by the kexec-loaded crash kernel image and initrd and the data prepared during the load (vmcoreinfo, ...). However, the reserved space needs to be much larger than that to provide enough run-time memory for the crash kernel and the kdump userspace. Estimating the amount of memory to reserve is difficult. Being too careful makes kdump likely to end in OOM, being too generous takes even more memory from the production system. Also, the reservation only allows reserving a single contiguous block (or two with the "low" suffix). I've seen systems where this fails because the physical memory is fragmented. By reserving additional crashkernel memory from CMA, the main crashkernel reservation can be just large enough to fit the kernel and initrd image, minimizing the memory taken away from the production system. Most of the run-time memory for the crash kernel will be memory previously available to userspace in the production system. As this memory is no longer wasted, the reservation can be done with a generous margin, making kdump more reliable. Kernel memory that we need to preserve for dumping is normally not allocated from CMA, unless it is explicitly allocated as movable. Currently this is only the case for memory ballooning and zswap. Such movable memory will be missing from the vmcore. User data is typically not dumped by makedumpfile. When dumping of user data is intended this new CMA reservation cannot be used. There are five patches in this series: The first adds a new ",cma" suffix to the recenly introduced generic crashkernel parsing code. parse_crashkernel() takes one more argument to store the cma reservation size. The second patch implements reserve_crashkernel_cma() which performs the reservation. If the requested size is not available in a single range, multiple smaller ranges will be reserved. The third patch updates Documentation/, explicitly mentioning the potential DMA corruption of the CMA-reserved memory. The fourth patch adds a short delay before booting the kdump kernel, allowing pending DMA transfers to finish. The fifth patch enables the functionality for x86 as a proof of concept. There are just three things every arch needs to do: - call reserve_crashkernel_cma() - include the CMA-reserved ranges in the physical memory map - exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the memory available through /proc/vmcore by excluding them from the vmcoreinfo PT_LOAD ranges. Adding other architectures is easy and I can do that as soon as this series is merged. With this series applied, specifying crashkernel=100M craskhernel=1G,cma on the command line will make a standard crashkernel reservation of 100M, where kexec will load the kernel and initrd. An additional 1G will be reserved from CMA, still usable by the production system. The crash kernel will have 1.1G memory available. The 100M can be reliably predicted based on the size of the kernel and initrd. The new cma suffix is completely optional. When no crashkernel=size,cma is specified, everything works as before. This patch (of 5): Add a new cma_size parameter to parse_crashkernel(). When not NULL, call __parse_crashkernel to parse the CMA reservation size from "crashkernel=size,cma" and store it in cma_size. Set cma_size to NULL in all calls to parse_crashkernel().

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.

2025-06-13powerpc/eeh: Fix missing PE bridge reconfiguration during VFIO EEH recoveryNarayana Murty N
VFIO EEH recovery for PCI passthrough devices fails on PowerNV and pseries platforms due to missing host-side PE bridge reconfiguration. In the current implementation, eeh_pe_configure() only performs RTAS or OPAL-based bridge reconfiguration for native host devices, but skips it entirely for PEs managed through VFIO in guest passthrough scenarios. This leads to incomplete EEH recovery when a PCI error affects a passthrough device assigned to a QEMU/KVM guest. Although VFIO triggers the EEH recovery flow through VFIO_EEH_PE_ENABLE ioctl, the platform-specific bridge reconfiguration step is silently bypassed. As a result, the PE's config space is not fully restored, causing subsequent config space access failures or EEH freeze-on-access errors inside the guest. This patch fixes the issue by ensuring that eeh_pe_configure() always invokes the platform's configure_bridge() callback (e.g., pseries_eeh_phb_configure_bridge) even for VFIO-managed PEs. This ensures that RTAS or OPAL calls to reconfigure the PE bridge are correctly issued on the host side, restoring the PE's configuration space after an EEH event. This fix is essential for reliable EEH recovery in QEMU/KVM guests using VFIO PCI passthrough on PowerNV and pseries systems. Tested with: - QEMU/KVM guest using VFIO passthrough (IBM Power9,(lpar)Power11 host) - Injected EEH errors with pseries EEH errinjct tool on host, recovery verified on qemu guest. - Verified successful config space access and CAP_EXP DevCtl restoration after recovery Fixes: 212d16cdca2d ("powerpc/eeh: EEH support for VFIO PCI device") Signed-off-by: Narayana Murty N <nnmlinux@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Vaibhav Jain <vaibhav@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Ganesh Goudar <ganeshgr@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250508062928.146043-1-nnmlinux@linux.ibm.com
