Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "There are quite a few interesting things here, including new hardware support, new features, some bug fixes and documentation updates. In addition, there are a usual bunch of minor fixes and cleanups all over. In the new hardware support category, there are intel_pstate and intel_rapl driver updates to support new processors, Panther Lake, Wildcat Lake, Noval Lake, and Diamond Rapids in the OOB mode, OPP and bandwidth allocation support in the tegra186 cpufreq driver, and JH7110S SOC support in dt-platdev cpufreq. The new features are the PM QoS CPU latency limit for suspend-to-idle, the netlink support for the energy model management, support for terminating system suspend via a wakeup event during the sync of file systems, configurable number of hibernation compression threads, the runtime PM auto-cleanup macros, and the "poweroff" PM event that is expected to be used during system shutdown. Bugs are mostly fixed in cpuidle governors, but there are also fixes elsewhere, like in the amd-pstate cpufreq driver. Documentation updates include, but are not limited to, a new doc on debugging shutdown hangs, cross-referencing fixes and cleanups in the intel_pstate documentation, and updates of comments in the core hibernation code.

Pull cred guard updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains substantial credential infrastructure improvements adding guard-based credential management that simplifies code and eliminates manual reference counting in many subsystems. Features: - Kernel Credential Guards Add with_kernel_creds() and scoped_with_kernel_creds() guards that allow using the kernel credentials without allocating and copying them. This was requested by Linus after seeing repeated prepare_kernel_creds() calls that duplicate the kernel credentials only to drop them again later. The new guards completely avoid the allocation and never expose the temporary variable to hold the kernel credentials anywhere in callers. - Generic Credential Guards Add scoped_with_creds() guards for the common override_creds() and revert_creds() pattern. This builds on earlier work that made override_creds()/revert_creds() completely reference count free. - Prepare Credential Guards Add prepare credential guards for the more complex pattern of preparing a new set of credentials and overriding the current credentials with them: - prepare_creds() - modify new creds - override_creds() - revert_creds() - put_cred() Cleanups: - Make init_cred static since it should not be directly accessed - Add kernel_cred() helper to properly access the kernel credentials - Fix scoped_class() macro that was introduced two cycles ago - coredump: split out do_coredump() from vfs_coredump() for cleaner credential handling - coredump: move revert_cred() before coredump_cleanup() - coredump: mark struct mm_struct as const - coredump: pass struct linux_binfmt as const - sev-dev: use guard for path" * tag 'kernel-6.19-rc1.cred' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (36 commits) trace: use override credential guard trace: use prepare credential guard coredump: use override credential guard coredump: use prepare credential guard coredump: split out do_coredump() from vfs_coredump() coredump: mark struct mm_struct as const coredump: pass struct linux_binfmt as const coredump: move revert_cred() before coredump_cleanup() sev-dev: use override credential guards sev-dev: use prepare credential guard sev-dev: use guard for path cred: add prepare credential guard net/dns_resolver: use credential guards in dns_query() cgroup: use credential guards in cgroup_attach_permissions() act: use credential guards in acct_write_process() smb: use credential guards in cifs_get_spnego_key() nfs: use credential guards in nfs_idmap_get_key() nfs: use credential guards in nfs_local_call_write() nfs: use credential guards in nfs_local_call_read() erofs: use credential guards ...
2025-11-20timers/migration: Exclude isolated cpus from hierarchyGabriele Monaco1-0/+3
The timer migration mechanism allows active CPUs to pull timers from idle ones to improve the overall idle time. This is however undesired when CPU intensive workloads run on isolated cores, as the algorithm would move the timers from housekeeping to isolated cores, negatively affecting the isolation. Exclude isolated cores from the timer migration algorithm, extend the concept of unavailable cores, currently used for offline ones, to isolated ones: * A core is unavailable if isolated or offline; * A core is available if non isolated and online; A core is considered unavailable as isolated if it belongs to: * the isolcpus (domain) list * an isolated cpuset Except if it is: * in the nohz_full list (already idle for the hierarchy) * the nohz timekeeper core (must be available to handle global timers) CPUs are added to the hierarchy during late boot, excluding isolated ones, the hierarchy is also adapted when the cpuset isolation changes. Due to how the timer migration algorithm works, any CPU part of the hierarchy can have their global timers pulled by remote CPUs and have to pull remote timers, only skipping pulling remote timers would break the logic. For this reason, prevent isolated CPUs from pulling remote global timers, but also the other way around: any global timer started on an isolated CPU will run there. This does not break the concept of isolation (global timers don't come from outside the CPU) and, if considered inappropriate, can usually be mitigated with other isolation techniques (e.g. IRQ pinning). This effect was noticed on a 128 cores machine running oslat on the isolated cores (1-31,33-63,65-95,97-127). The tool monopolises CPUs, and the CPU with lowest count in a timer migration hierarchy (here 1 and 65) appears as always active and continuously pulls global timers, from the housekeeping CPUs. This ends up moving driver work (e.g. delayed work) to isolated CPUs and causes latency spikes: before the change: # oslat -c 1-31,33-63,65-95,97-127 -D 62s ... Maximum: 1203 10 3 4 ... 5 (us) after the change: # oslat -c 1-31,33-63,65-95,97-127 -D 62s ... Maximum: 10 4 3 4 3 ... 5 (us) The same behaviour was observed on a machine with as few as 20 cores / 40 threads with isocpus set to: 1-9,11-39 with rtla-osnoise-top.

cgroup1 freezer piggybacks on the PM freezer, which inadvertently allowed userspace to produce uninterruptible tasks at will. To avoid the issue, cgroup2 freezer switched to a separate job control based mechanism. While this happened a long time ago, the code and comment haven't been updated making it confusing to people who aren't familiar with the history.

2025-10-03cgroup: Fix seqcount lockdep assertion in cgroup freezerNirbhay Sharma1-1/+1
The commit afa3701c0e45 ("cgroup: cgroup.stat.local time accounting") introduced a seqcount to track freeze timing but initialized it as a plain seqcount_t using seqcount_init(). However, the write-side critical section in cgroup_do_freeze() holds the css_set_lock spinlock while calling write_seqcount_begin(). On PREEMPT_RT kernels, spinlocks do not disable preemption, causing the lockdep assertion for a plain seqcount_t, which checks for preemption being disabled, to fail. This triggers the following warning: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 9692 at include/linux/seqlock.h:221 Fix this by changing the type to seqcount_spinlock_t and initializing it with seqcount_spinlock_init() to associate css_set_lock with the seqcount. This allows lockdep to correctly validate that the spinlock is held during write operations, resolving the assertion failure on all kernel configurations.

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 ...

2025-09-19cpuset: fix failure to enable isolated partition when containing isolcpusChen Ridong1-1/+1
The 'isolcpus' parameter specified at boot time can be assigned to an isolated partition. While it is valid put the 'isolcpus' in an isolated partition, attempting to change a member cpuset to an isolated partition will fail if the cpuset contains any 'isolcpus'. For example, the system boots with 'isolcpus=9', and the following configuration works correctly: # cd /sys/fs/cgroup/ # mkdir test # echo 1 > test/cpuset.cpus # echo isolated > test/cpuset.cpus.partition # cat test/cpuset.cpus.partition isolated # echo 9 > test/cpuset.cpus # cat test/cpuset.cpus.partition isolated # cat test/cpuset.cpus 9 However, the following steps to convert a member cpuset to an isolated partition will fail: # cd /sys/fs/cgroup/ # mkdir test # echo 9 > test/cpuset.cpus # echo isolated > test/cpuset.cpus.partition # cat test/cpuset.cpus.partition isolated invalid (partition config conflicts with housekeeping setup) The issue occurs because the new partition state (new_prs) is used for validation against housekeeping constraints before it has been properly updated. To resolve this, move the assignment of new_prs before the housekeeping validation check when enabling a root partition.

Introduce the partition_cpus_change function to handle both regular CPU set updates and exclusive CPU modifications, either of which may trigger partition state changes. This generalized function will also be utilized for exclusive CPU updates in subsequent patches. With the introduction of compute_trialcs_excpus in a previous patch, the trialcs->effective_xcpus field is now consistently computed and maintained. Consequently, the legacy logic which assigned **trialcs->allowed_cpus to a local 'xcpus' variable** when trialcs->effective_xcpus was empty has been removed. This removal is safe because when trialcs is not a partition member, trialcs->effective_xcpus is now correctly populated with the intersection of user_xcpus and the parent's effective_xcpus. This calculation inherently covers the scenario previously handled by the removed code.

Refactor cpus_allowed_validate_change to handle the special case where cpuset.cpus can be set even when violating partition sibling CPU exclusivity rules. This differs from the general validation logic in validate_change. Add a wrapper function to properly handle this exceptional case. The trialcs->prs_err field is cleared before performing validation checks for both CPU changes and partition errors. If cpus_allowed_validate_change fails its validation, trialcs->prs_err is set to PERR_NOTEXCL. If partition validation fails, the specific error code returned by validate_partition is assigned to trialcs->prs_err. With the partition validation status now directly available through trialcs->prs_err, the local boolean variable 'invalidate' becomes redundant and can be safely removed.

If neither cpuset has the 'exclusive' flag set, their 'cpuset.cpus.exclusive' (only for v2) values must not intersect. 3.

The current implementation contains redundant handling for empty mask inputs, as cpulist_parse() already properly handles these cases. This refactoring introduces a new helper function parse_cpuset_cpulist() to consolidate CPU list parsing logic and eliminate special-case checks for empty inputs. Additionally, the effective_xcpus computation for trial cpusets has been simplified. Rather than computing effective_xcpus only when exclusive_cpus is set or when the cpuset forms a valid partition, we now recalculate it on every cpuset.cpus update. This approach ensures consistency and allows removal of redundant effective_xcpus logic in subsequent patches. The trial cpuset's effective_xcpus calculation follows two distinct cases: 1. For member cpusets: effective_xcpus is determined by the intersection of cpuset->exclusive_cpus and the parent's effective_xcpus. 2. For non-member cpusets: effective_xcpus is derived from the intersection of user_xcpus and the parent's effective_xcpus.

The compute_trialcs_excpus function specifically handles exclusive CPU computation for trial cpusets used during CPU mask configuration updates, and always excludes exclusive CPUs from sibling cpusets.
