2026-01-20watchdog: softlockup: panic when lockup duration exceeds N thresholdsLi RongQing1-6/+7
The softlockup_panic sysctl is currently a binary option: panic immediately or never panic on soft lockups. Panicking on any soft lockup, regardless of duration, can be overly aggressive for brief stalls that may be caused by legitimate operations. Conversely, never panicking may allow severe system hangs to persist undetected. Extend softlockup_panic to accept an integer threshold, allowing the kernel to panic only when the normalized lockup duration exceeds N watchdog threshold periods. This provides finer-grained control to distinguish between transient delays and persistent system failures. The accepted values are: - 0: Don't panic (unchanged) - 1: Panic when duration >= 1 * threshold (20s default, original behavior) - N > 1: Panic when duration >= N * threshold (e.g., 2 = 40s, 3 = 60s.) The original behavior is preserved for values 0 and 1, maintaining full backward compatibility while allowing systems to tolerate brief lockups while still catching severe, persistent hangs.

2026-01-20lib/tests: convert test_uuid module to KUnitRyota Sakamoto1-3/+11
Move lib/test_uuid.c to lib/tests/uuid_kunit.c and convert it to use KUnit. This change switches the ad-hoc test code to standard KUnit test cases. The test data remains the same, but the verification logic is updated to use KUNIT_EXPECT_* macros. Also remove CONFIG_TEST_UUID from arch/*/configs/* because it is no longer used. The new CONFIG_UUID_KUNIT_TEST will be automatically enabled by CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS.

2026-01-05compiler-context-analysis: Add infrastructure for Context Analysis with ClangMarco Elver1-0/+30
Context Analysis is a language extension, which enables statically checking that required contexts are active (or inactive), by acquiring and releasing user-definable "context locks". An obvious application is lock-safety checking for the kernel's various synchronization primitives (each of which represents a "context lock"), and checking that locking rules are not violated. Clang originally called the feature "Thread Safety Analysis" [1]. This was later changed and the feature became more flexible, gaining the ability to define custom "capabilities". Its foundations can be found in "Capability Systems" [2], used to specify the permissibility of operations to depend on some "capability" being held (or not held). Because the feature is not just able to express "capabilities" related to synchronization primitives, and "capability" is already overloaded in the kernel, the naming chosen for the kernel departs from Clang's "Thread Safety" and "capability" nomenclature; we refer to the feature as "Context Analysis" to avoid confusion. The internal implementation still makes references to Clang's terminology in a few places, such as `-Wthread-safety` being the warning option that also still appears in diagnostic messages. [1] https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSafetyAnalysis.html [2] https://www.cs.cornell.edu/talc/papers/capabilities.pdf See more details in the kernel-doc documentation added in this and subsequent changes. Clang version 22+ is required.

Quoting the cover letter: This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory, devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition. As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in RAM across the kexec reboot.

debugfs access modes were added in Linux 5.10 (Dec 2020) [1], but the no-mount mode has behaved effectively the same as the off mode since Linux 5.12 (Apr 2021) [2]. The only difference is the specific error code returned by the debugfs_create_* functions, which is -ENOENT in no-mount mode and -EPERM in off mode. Given that no-mount hasn't worked for several years with no complaints, just remove it.

2025-11-20lib: add KUnit tests for base64 encoding/decodingGuan-Chun Wu1-1/+18
Add a KUnit test suite to validate the base64 helpers. The tests cover both encoding and decoding, including padded and unpadded forms as defined by RFC 4648 (standard base64), and add negative cases for malformed inputs and padding errors. The test suite also validates other variants (URLSAFE, IMAP) to ensure their correctness. In addition to functional checks, the suite includes simple microbenchmarks which report average encode/decode latency for small (64B) and larger (1KB) inputs. These numbers are informational only and do not gate the tests. Kconfig (BASE64_KUNIT) and lib/tests/Makefile are updated accordingly.

The hung_task_panic sysctl is currently a blunt instrument: it's all or nothing. Panicking on a single hung task can be an overreaction to a transient glitch. A more reliable indicator of a systemic problem is when multiple tasks hang simultaneously. Extend hung_task_panic to accept an integer threshold, allowing the kernel to panic only when N hung tasks are detected in a single scan. This provides finer control to distinguish between isolated incidents and system-wide failures. The accepted values are: - 0: Don't panic (unchanged) - 1: Panic on the first hung task (unchanged) - N > 1: Panic after N hung tasks are detected in a single scan The original behavior is preserved for values 0 and 1, maintaining full backward compatibility.

In preparation for GCC supporting KCFI, rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (along with associated options).

2025-08-02kho: add test for kexec handoverMike Rapoport (Microsoft)1-0/+21
Testing kexec handover requires a kernel driver that will generate some data and preserve it with KHO on the first boot and then restore that data and verify it was preserved properly after kexec. To facilitate such test, along with the kernel driver responsible for data generation, preservation and restoration add a script that runs a kernel in a VM with a minimal /init. The /init enables KHO, loads a kernel image for kexec and runs kexec reboot. After the boot of the kexeced kernel, the driver verifies that the data was properly preserved.

Add test cases for static and dynamic minor number allocation and deallocation. While at it, improve description and test suite name. Some of the cases include: - that static and dynamic allocation reserved the expected minors. - that registering duplicate minors or duplicate names will fail. - that failing to create a sysfs file (due to duplicate names) will deallocate the dynamic minor correctly. - that dynamic allocation does not allocate a minor number in the static range. - that there are no collisions when mixing dynamic and static allocations. - that opening devices with various minor device numbers work. - that registering a static number in the dynamic range won't conflict with a dynamic allocation. This last test verifies the bug fixed by commit 6d04d2b554b1 ("misc: misc_minor_alloc to use ida for all dynamic/misc dynamic minors") has not regressed.

In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's memory consumption was dramatic. - "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to this part of our swap handling code. - "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall arguments, and syscall return value. This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM" branch, but I goofed. - "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get at the info about guard regions. - "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error. - "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current decade.

This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page tables". This change does result in various architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur. - "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures. - "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've been missing for 15 years. - "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to load this particular operation. - "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly reduced. - "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code. - ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug support".

This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently. - "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code. - "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization. - "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios. - "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved. - "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range.

2025-05-11lib/test_kmod: do not hardcode/depend on any filesystemHerton R. Krzesinski1-6/+0
Right now test_kmod has hardcoded dependencies on btrfs/xfs. That is not optimal since you end up needing to select/build them, but it is not really required since other fs could be selected for the testing. Also, we can't change the default/driver module used for testing on initialization. Thus make it more generic: introduce two module parameters (start_driver and start_test_fs), which allow to select which modules/fs to use for the testing on test_kmod initialization. Then it's up to the user to select which modules/fs to use for testing based on his config. However, keep test_module as required default. This way, config/modules becomes selectable as when the testing is done from selftests (userspace). While at it, also change trigger_config_run_type, since at module initialization we already set the defaults at __kmod_config_init and should not need to do it again in test_kmod_init(), thus we can avoid to again set test_driver/test_fs.

Enabling a (modular) test should not silently enable additional kernel functionality, as that may increase the attack vector of a product. Fix this by making PRIME_NUMBERS_KUNIT_TEST depend on PRIME_NUMBERS instead of selecting it. After this, one can safely enable CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=m to build modules for all appropriate tests for ones system, without pulling in extra unwanted functionality, while still allowing a tester to manually enable PRIME_NUMBERS and this test suite on a system where PRIME_NUMBERS is not enabled by default. Resurrect CONFIG_PRIME_NUMBERS=m in tools/testing/selftests/lib/config for the latter use case.
