<title>alloc_tag: avoid implicit padding in uapi</title>

<content type='text'>
The implied padding causes a harmless warning when testing the uapi
headers with -Wpadded that could in theory indicate incompatibilities
or data leaks:

./usr/include/linux/alloc_tag.h:41:1: error: padding struct size to alignment boundary with 7 bytes [-Werror=padded]

The code here is fine, but it's better to make the padding explicit and
avoid the warning here.

Pull input fixes from Dmitry Torokhov:

 - Fixes for evdev and input compat handling to zero-initialize on-stack
   absinfo and force-feedback effect structures before partial or compat
   copies from userspace, preventing kernel stack memory disclosure

 - Fixes for the Synaptics RMI4 driver to prevent an out-of-bounds read
   when writing multi-chunk blocks over SMBus and to avoid a NULL
   pointer dereference during suspend/resume when the RMI device is
   unbound

 - Fixes for the soc_button_array driver to propagate -EPROBE_DEFER on
   non-Bay Trail/Cherry Trail platforms (fixing broken power and volume
   buttons on the Microsoft Surface Pro 11) and to validate the ACPI
   package element count before dereferencing

 - A fix for the adp5588-keys driver to cache the initial GPIO hardware
   state before registering the gpiochip so pre-configured pin states
   are not clobbered by GPIO hogs during registration

 - A fix for the cyttsp5 touchscreen driver to clamp the device-supplied
   HID report size before copying into the response buffer, preventing a
   buffer overflow

 - A fix for the HP SDC serio driver to use timer_shutdown_sync() on
   module exit so the periodic kicker timer cannot rearm itself during
   teardown

 - A fix for the eeti_ts touchscreen driver to export its OF module
   alias so the module autoloads on Device Tree platforms

 - Updates to the xpad joystick driver adding support for the Victrix
   Pro BFG controller and Azeron devices, and fixing the device type
   classification for the PDP Marvel Xbox 360 controller

 - Quirks for the i8042 and atkbd drivers to keep the built-in keyboards
   functional on the Acer Aspire Go 15 AG15-42P and Xiaomi Redmi Book
   Pro 16 2026

 - A quirk for the Synaptics PS/2 touchpad driver disabling SMBus
   InterTouch on the Lenovo ThinkPad T440p (board ID 2722) so the
   touchpad and TrackPoint respond immediately at boot

 - Other minor updates and documentation fixes, including reading the
   "ti,poll-period" property as u32 in tsc2007, adding the mt6572
   compatible to the MediaTek keypad Device Tree binding, fixing an
   attribute name typo in the trackpoint sysfs ABI documentation, and

Add a comment to input-event-codes.h clarifying that no new LED
definitions should be added to the input subsystem. The existing
LED_* definitions are legacy and grandfathered for backwards
compatibility with userspace via evdev. Any new LED indicators
should instead use the dedicated LED subsystem.

magic.h to expose the file system's magic to IMA, as well as other userland
applications.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this round, key enhancements focus on reducing inode management
  memory overhead, introducing resizable tail sections with unified
  pinned allocation, and boosting I/O throughput via parallel
  multi-device flushes and asynchronous f2fs_write_end_io() execution.
  We also add dynamic device alias reservations to allow on-the-fly
  space donation from user partitions.

  Alongside these features, critical bug fixes resolve folio race
  conditions, lingering dirty flags, dentry and block counter leaks, and
  potential deadloops in f2fs_fsync_node_pages(). Additional stability
  patches address error-path handling across symlink, sync, and
  rename/unlink operations, prevent pinned file fragmentation, and
  correct segment migration and free section accounting in
  free_segment_range.

  Enhancements:
   - reduce memory footprint of ino management
   - support dynamic reserve/release for device aliasing
   - issue multi-device flushes in parallel
   - add a way to run f2fs_write_end_io() asynchronously
   - support resizable tail section and unify pinned allocation

  Bug fixes:
   - fix to pass folio-&gt;index to f2fs_sanity_check_node_footer()
   - fix folio_nr_pages() race after put in large folio invalidate
   - fix to clear dirty flag on folio in error path
   - accurately adjust free_sections during free_segment_range
   - fix to avoid potential deadloop in f2fs_fsync_node_pages()
   - fix the error path in symlink, device alias in rename/unlink,
     f2fs_sync_fs
   - fix to migrate all curseg types during free_segment_range
   - fix to avoid pinfile fragment on fragment:{block, segment} mode
   - fix valid block count leak on data block allocation failure
   - fix dentry folio leak in find_in_level
   - reject overlapping move range after len expansion
   - fix some bugs related to file pinning, GC functions, i_size

  And, the series includes a number of minor bug fixes"

Pull more MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "mm/rmap: index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by anonymous pgoff"
   (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by their anonymous page offset
   to resolve confusion around reverse mapping for zeroed and CoW'd
   file-backed memory.

   Use this new VMA anonymous page offset tracking to eliminate index
   conflicts and lay the foundation for scalable CoW performance
   improvements.

 - "promote mapped executable folios after first usage for MGLRU"
   (Baolin Wang)

   Make MGLRU's protection of mapped executable file folios more
   reliable. Follow the classical LRU's logic, promoting mapped
   executable file folios after their first usage to give executable
   code a better chance to stay in memory and improve workload
   performance.

 - "mm: vmscan: fix node reclaim ignoring swappiness parameter" (Ridong
   Chen)

   Fix per-node proactive reclaim interface's ignoring the swappiness
   parameter when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled by consolidating
   sc_swappiness() into a single function that checks
   proactive_swappiness regardless of kernel configuration.

 - "mm/vmscan: reduce lru_lock contention via vmstat-derived
   scan-balance cost" (Usama Arif)

   Reduce lru_lock contention in the reclaim path by deriving
   scan-balance costs from vmstat counters rather than lock-acquired
   producer updates.

   Read and decay these cost signals on the reclaim side under a
   dedicated per-lruvec lock, reducing total LRU lock wait time by over
   60% without impacting scan throughput.

 - "zram: fix zram issues reported by sashiko" (Sergey Senozhatsky)

   Fix two low-risk zram bugs which Sashiko spotted in drive-by review.

 - "Honor XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc() and charge to folio's
   memcg" (Zi Yan)

   Fix xas_split_alloc() by enabling target folio memcg charging during
   splits and adding the missing __GFP_ACCOUNT flag for proper XArray
   node memory accounting.

 - "selftests/mm: use pattern matching in .gitignore" (Pratyush Mallick)

   Replace hardcoded binary names in selftests/mm/.gitignore with a
   generic pattern-matching rule to automatically ignore generated test
   files and avoid manual updates when adding new tests.

 - "mm/page_ext: remove pgdat_page_ext_init()" (Sang-Heon Jeon)

   Make the incompatibility between FLATMEM and NUMA explicit in
   mm/Kconfig and remove the unused pgdat_page_ext_init() function.

 - "zram: fix zstd error paths and add parameter validation" (Haoqin
   Huang)

   Clean up zram compression backends by removing redundant error
   cleanup, adding parameter and dictionary validation, auto-prefixing
   algorithm error logs, and resetting parameters prior to
   reinitialization.

 - "zram: fix stale scan bounds after reinitialization" (Longlong Xia)

   Prevent out-of-bounds slot accesses during concurrent zram resets by
   moving table scan bound calculations under dev_lock in
   writeback_store() and read_block_state().

 - "add anon mTHP collapse test cases" (Baolin Wang)

   Extend selftests helper functions to support arbitrary page orders
   and add new test cases and options for mTHP collapse in khugepaged.

 - "selftests/mm: Handle unsupported and transient test conditions"
   (Muhammad Usama Anjum)

   Update MM selftests to report a SKIP status instead of a failure when
   required kernel or filesystem features are unsupported, while adding
   retry logic for transient page migration errors.

 - "mm/zswap: Fixes and improves the zswap shrink" (Hao Jia)

   Fix the missing zswap global shrinker when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled
   and extend shrink_memcg() to support batch writeback for improved
   writeback efficiency.

 - "alloc_tag: introduce IOCTL-based filtering for MAP" (Suren
   Baghdasaryan)

   Introduce an IOCTL-based binary interface for memory allocation
   profiling that enables kernel-side filtering before per-CPU counter
   aggregation.

   This eliminates the text-parsing overhead of /proc/allocinfo and
   provides up to a 20x speedup by transferring only filtered allocation
   data to userspace.

 - "better block swap batching and a different take on swap_ops v5"
   (Christoph Hellwig)

   Refactor block swap I/O to use swap_iocb for batching instead of
   single-bio requests and rebase the swap_ops interface, achieving
   faster swap throughput during kernel builds.

 - "mm: kmemleak: reduce transient false positives by confirming leaks"
   (Catalin Marinas)

   Reduce false-positive kmemleak reports by combining two kmemleak
   enhancements that add a second confirmation scan and a configurable
   minimum unreferenced scan count module parameter.

 - "mm: kmemleak: default min_unref_scans to 2 for verbose kernels"
   (Breno Leitao)

   Auto-scanning kernels can generate false-positive memory leak reports
   on single scans, so this patch defaults min_unref_scans to 2 when
   CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE is enabled to require a second
   confirming scan.

 - "swap_ops updates" (Christoph Hellwig)

   Batching I/O for synchronous swap devices causes performance
   regressions and filesystem-based swap suffers from double-indirection
   overhead. This series resolves both issues by reintroducing per-folio
   writes for synchronous swap and allowing filesystems to directly
   export their own swap_ops.

 - "mm/khugepaged: several cleanups" (Nico Pache)

   khugepaged accumulated redundant state-checking patterns and outdated
   comments following mTHP integration. Introduce dedicated helpers for
   PTE validation and event counting while refreshing the internal
   documentation.

 - "maple_tree: lock checking and clean ups" (Liam Howlett)

   Syzbot reports incorrectly blame memory management exit paths for
   locking bugs, maple tree erase operations risk allocation failures
   without gfp flags and internal documentation lacks clarity.

   Improve lock error detection, update docs, fix race and allocation

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM64:

   - Add support for 'slot' based PMU events, paired with new UAPI that
     compels the user to select a specific PMU implementation

   - Lazy save/restore of vCPU state for pKVM, along with various fixes
     and cleanups to the management of vCPU state between the untrusted
     host and pKVM hypervisor

   - Disable traps of EL1 registers for nested hypervisors when
     FEAT_NV2p1 is present, guaranteeing that EL2-specific register bits
     are stateful in the EL1 counterpart

   - Leverage FEAT_NV3 to avoid unnecessary ERET/TLBI traps when the
     scope of those instructions remains 'in host' (i.e. L1
     kernel/userspace)

   - Pile of fixes for the management of the VNCR pseudo-TLB, such as
     under-invalidations and races with concurrent TLBIs on other vCPUs

   - Consolidate the non-protected and pKVM view of ICH_VTR_EL2 to a
     runtime-patched constant, allowing the same data to be shared with
     pKVM prior to dropping host privileges

   - Considerable pile of LLM-assisted fixes around the shop but mostly
     in the VGIC, our in-kernel generator of bugs (and sometimes
     interrupts)

  LoongArch:

   - Advertise already-supported capabilities

   - Some bug fixes about timer and MMIO

   - Some hardening about interrupt injection

   - Replace kvm_err() with kvm_pr_unimpl()

   - Add FPU/LSX/LASX test cases for selftests

  RISC-V:

   - Svadu/Zicfiss/Zicfilp FWFT support for Guest

   - Use try_cmpxchg for IMSIC MRIF RMW

   - More arch-specific tracepoints in KVM RISC-V

   - Eager page splitting when enabling dirty logging

   - Optimize hfence request handling for SMP Guests

   - Improve dirty log clearing by skipping zero bits in mask

   - Guard HFENCE range loops against overflow

   - CPU PM notifiers in KVM RISC-V for non-retentive idle states

   - Fix kernel-mode vector context save/restore for Guest

  s390:

   - Fixes for vfio-ap

   - Fixes for the gmap rework

   - Fixes for vsie

   - AI triggered fixes all over

   - diag9c tracing

   - code move preparation for the additional arm64 support

   - enable CONTEXT_ANALYSIS

  x86:

   - Perform spring cleaning on x86.{c,h} and asm/kvm_host.h, by adding
     regs.c (the kvm_cache_regs.h =&gt; regs.h is already applied) and
     msrs.{c,h}, and moving relevant code out of x86.c

   - Split kvm_mmu in three parts, respectively to describe the format
     of page tables, walking the guest page tables and building the page
     tables. Always use the same page table walker kvm-&gt;arch.gva_walk as
     the entry point to convert a guest's virtual address, where the
     previous code used two different kvm_mmu structs depending on
     whether the walk included nested EPT/NPT or not. Make page fault
     vmexits reuse the permission checking machinery that is used for
     guest page faults. This is both a cleanup and a baby step towards
     supporting XS/XU memory permissions

   - Document some of the "fun" gotchas with the APIC base when creating
     IRQCHIPs on x86

   - Remove a defunct masterclock update from kvm_xen_shared_info_init().
     It could result in incorrect kvmclock due to triggering an
     unnecessary switch to/from masterclock mode

   - Skip Xen runstate time updates if time has effectively gone
     backwards, so that the guest doesn't report 100% steal time for
     a very, very long time

   - Drop KVM's runtime updates of the Xen PV timing CPUID leaf, as KVM
     was updating the wrong sub-leaf, and upstream KVM will soon provide
     all the information needed by userspace to populate the CPUID field
     itself

   - Fix a bug where KVM would walk a newly created rmap without holding
     the rmap lock (or mmu_lock) during aging

   - Fix a bug where aging TDP MMU SPTEs could clobber FROZEN SPTEs

   - Fix a variety of #DB priority bugs

   - Fix a class of races related to enabling Hyper-V emulation on a
     vCPU after the vCPU is visible to the rest of KVM

   - Use static calls for nested virtualization ops

   - Move more KVM-internal code out of x86's kvm_host.h

   - Enumerate support for a variety of Zhaoxin instructions that don't
     require explicit virtualization

   - Fix missing EFER validation bugs, including in the KVM_SET_SREGS*
     path

   - Harden kvm_vcpu_map() against double-mapping and thus leaking
     references

   - Misc fixes and cleanups, e.g. for largely benign syzkaller splats

  x86 (Intel):

   - Zero a vCPU's entry in VMX's Posted Interrupt Descriptor table used
     for IPI virtualization when the vCPU is freed, to fix a
     use-after-free where hardware will write to a freed vCPU's PID

   - Service local TLB flushes on a failed nested VM-Enter to fix a bug
     where KVM could miss a TLB on a future, successful VM-Enter with
     the same L2 VPID

   - Cap the maximum value shoved into the VMX Preemption Timer to
     workaround an erratum that affects all existing Intel CPUs that
     support CPUID 0x15

   - Fix VPID virtualization bugs where KVM would fail to flush hardware
     TLBs

   - Harden the TDX "populate" ioctls against bad input, and to prepare
     for supporting in-place private&lt;=&gt;shared conversion

  x86 (AMD):

   - Forcefully invalidate SNP VMSA pages if their backing guest_memfd
     page is zapped/invalidated, e.g. due to a PUNCH_HOLE in response to
     a Page-State Change request

   - Remove a dying VM from the GA Log notifier list before the VM is
     actually destroyed, to fix a potential use-after-free

   - While FOLL_WRITE was needed in the past to trigger CoW unsharing,
     nowadays FOLL_LONGTERM does that already even without FOLL_WRITE,
     and in fact, get_user_pages() actually disallows FOLL_WRITE
     together with FOLL_LONGTERM. So don't pass FOLL_WRITE when
     registering encrypted memory regions, i.e. when pinning SEV/SEV-ES
     guest memory, to fix a regression with file-backed memory
     introduced by KVM's (correct) usage of long-term pins

     (This was reviewed by mm maintainers; for more information, see
     commit ee1a586dd1fa "KVM: SEV: Drop FOLL_WRITE for encrypted region
     registration")

   - Allocate full pages for SEV/SEV-ES {DE,EN}CRYPT ops on SNP-enabled
     hosts to fix a data corruption issue due to the PSP driver
     assigning to-be-written pages to firmware (as required by the SNP
     specs)

   - Unconditionally intercept ICBEP so that KVM generates the correct
     guest RIP when handling an ICEBP-induced TASK_SWITCH #VMEXIT

   - Harden the SNP "populate" ioctls against bad input, and to prepare
     for supporting in-place private&lt;=&gt;shared conversion

  Generic:

   - Remove kvm_debugfs_dir if kvm_init() fails after creating KVM's
     debugfs

   - Add a per-VM bitmap to track which vCPU IDs have been "claimed" but
     for which the vCPU isn't yet online, and use the bitmap to reject
     duplicate IDs before calling into arch code. This allows arch code
     to consume vcpu_id without having to worry about cross-vCPU
     clobbering (at least s390 and x86 have had related bugs)

   - Rework the so called "prepare" and "invalidate" guest_memfd hooks
     to prepare for in-place private&lt;=&gt;shared conversion, and clean up a
     few warts along the way

  Selftests:

   - Automatically allocate a full page for L2 guest stacks on x86
     instead of requiring test-specific L1 guest code to carve out a
     portion of the L1 stack for L2 usage, and to ensure the L2 stack
     also adheres to the x86-64 calling convention ABI

   - Add a selftest to verify {Guest,Host}-Only behavior in x86's
     mediated PMU

   - Clean up nested SVM's handling of GPRs on L2&lt;=&gt;L1 transitions,
     reuse the functionality for nested VMX, and drop the ucall hack
     that was fudging around the lack of GPR switching on nVMX

   - Add a stress test to verify KVM doesn't clobber/drop #PF state,
     e.g. CR2, across save/restore, including when L2 is active

   - Add a test to verify KVM_CREATE_VM accepts exactly what is reported
     by KVM_CAP_VM_TYPES

   - Misc selftests fixes and cleanups

   - Fix several issues with seeding the pRNG, and rework the pRNG APIs
     to that the pRNG can be sanely used in host code, not just guest
     code

   - Add an IRQ test to validate virtual IRQ deliverty for IRQs wired up
     via KVM_IRQFD + KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING, with optional support for
     triggering IRQs via writes to an assigned VFIO device

   - Add syscall wrappers to assert success on a variety of pthreads and
     CPU affinity APIs

   - Set vCPU pthread affinity as early as possible to reduce contention
     issues that were surfaced by PREEMPT_LAZY, which result in runtimes
     of over a minute on large hosts, versus the expected ~5 seconds

   - Rework the PMU counters test to run each testcase using a single VM
     with many vCPUs for each sub-testcase, instead of using a unique VM
     for each sub-testcase. This cuts the runtime by ~20x

  Miscellaneous:

   - MAINTAINERS updates for vfio-ap, guest_memfd, kvm-x86. Mostly
     representing the status quo more accurately, but also... welcome
     David Hildenbrand as guest_memfd reviewer!"
