Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Make syscall user dispatching configurable Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching. Allow them to disable the feature completely. - Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the architectures using it. Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the non-instrumentable constraints of that code. Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry code using architecture over. - Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the return value functionality of those interfaces is not really intuitive. Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the syscall number through these mechanisms. This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite both the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem which cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be addressed by separating the storage model in the affected architectures. * tag 'core-entry-2026-08-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) entry, treewide: Make syscall_enter_from_user_mode[_work]() indicate syscall execution entry: Make return type of syscall_trace_enter() bool entry: Rework trace_syscall_enter() entry: Rework syscall_audit_enter() syscall_user_dispatch: Introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH entry: Fix seccomp bypass after ptrace with TSYNC x86/entry: Simplify the syscall number logic x86/entry: Get rid of the sys_ni_syscall() indirection x86/entry: Make syscall functions static ptrace, treewide: Rename ptrace_report_syscall_entry() to ptrace_report_syscall_permit_entry() seccomp, treewide: Rename and convert __secure_computing() to return boolean entry: Use syscall number instead of rereading it entry: Remove syscall_enter_from_user_mode() x86/syscall: Use [syscall_]enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() s390/syscall: Use enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() riscv/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() powerpc/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() loongarch/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() entry: Provide [syscall_]enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() randomize_kstack: Provide add_random_kstack_offset_irqsoff() ...

xtensa/simdisk: Avoid referring to module::args

2026-08-06T11:29:02Z

When simdisk support is built as a loadable module, simdisk_param_set_filename() receives a pointer into module::args and stores each filename pointer as is. In preparation for removing module::args, update the simdisk.filename parameter code to copy the provided string. This is somewhat complicated by the fact that simdisk support can also be built-in, in which case the parameters are parsed during early boot before slab is available. In that case, the command line itself is preserved for the lifetime of the kernel, so continue storing the incoming pointer directly. Reviewed-by: Max Filippov Signed-off-by: Petr Pavlu

seccomp, treewide: Rename and convert __secure_computing() to return boolean

2026-07-12T10:38:02Z

The return value of __secure_computing() currently uses 0 to indicate that a system call should be allowed, and -1 to indicate that it should be blocked/killed. This 0/-1 pattern is non-intuitive for a security check function and makes the control flow at the call sites less readable. Furthermore, any potential future changes to these return values would require a high-risk, error-prone audit of all its users across different architectures. Sanitize this logic by converting the return type of __secure_computing() to a proper boolean, where 'true' explicitly means 'allow' and 'false' means 'fail/deny'. Update all the two dozen or so call sites across the tree to align with this new boolean semantic. No functional changes are intended, as the callers still return -1 to the lower-level assembly entry code upon seccomp denial. Rename the function to __seccomp_permit_syscall() so that the purpose is entirely clear.

Pull interrupt core updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Rework of /proc/interrupt handling: /proc/interrupts was subject to micro optimizations for a long time, but most of the low hanging fruit was left on the table. This rework addresses the major time consuming issues: - Printing a long series of zeros one by one via a format string instead of counting subsequent zeros and emitting a string constant. - Simplify and cache the conditions whether interrupts should be printed - Use a proper iteration over the interrupt descriptor xarray instead of walking and testing one by one. - Provide helper functions for the architecture code to emit the architecture specific counters - Convert the counter structure in x86 to an array, which simplifies the output and add mechanisms to suppress unused architecture interrupts, which just occupy space for nothing. Adopt the new core mechanisms. This adjusts the gdb scripts related to interrupt counter statistics to work with the new mechanisms. - Prevent a string overflow in the /proc/irq/$N/ directory name creation code. * tag 'irq-core-2026-06-13' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/irq: Add missing 's' back to thermal event printout genirq/proc: Speed up /proc/interrupts iteration genirq/proc: Runtime size the chip name genirq: Expose irq_find_desc_at_or_after() in core code genirq: Add rcuref count to struct irq_desc genirq/proc: Increase default interrupt number precision to four genirq: Calculate precision only when required genirq: Cache the condition for /proc/interrupts exposure genirq/manage: Make NMI cleanup RT safe genirq: Expose nr_irqs in core code scripts/gdb: Update x86 interrupts to the array based storage x86/irq: Move IOAPIC misrouted and PIC/APIC error counts into irq_stats x86/irq: Suppress unlikely interrupt stats by default x86/irq: Make irqstats array based genirq/proc: Utilize irq_desc::tot_count to avoid evaluation genirq/proc: Avoid formatting zero counts in /proc/interrupts x86/irq: Optimize interrupts decimals printing genirq/proc: Size interrupt directory names for 10-digit interrupt numbers

uaccess: unify inline vs outline copy_{from,to}_user() selection

2026-05-29T04:24:44Z

The kernel allows arches to select between inline and outline implementations of the copy_{from,to}_user() by defining individual INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER and INLINE_COPY_TO_USER, correspondingly. However, all arches enable or disable them always together. Without the real use-case for one helper being inlined while the other outlined, having independent controls is excessive and error prone. Switch the codebase to the single unified INLINE_COPY_USER control.
