I can't do better than to quote Christoph: "The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture code. Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call overhead" - "lib/list_sort: Clean up list_sort() scheduling workarounds" (Kuan-Wei Chiu) Clean up this library code by removing a hacky thing which was added for UBIFS, which UBIFS doesn't actually need - "Fix bugs in extract_iter_to_sg()" (Christian Ehrhardt) Fix a few bugs in the scatterlist code, add in-kernel tests for the now-fixed bugs and fix a leak in the test itself - "kdump: Enable LUKS-encrypted dump target support in ARM64 and PowerPC" (Coiby Xu) Enable support of the LUKS-encrypted device dump target on arm64 and powerpc - "ocfs2: consolidate extent list validation into block read callbacks" (Joseph Qi) Cleanup, simplify, and make more robust ocfs2's validation of extent list fields (Kernel test robot loves mounting corrupted fs images!) * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2026-04-15-04-20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (127 commits) ocfs2: validate group add input before caching ocfs2: validate bg_bits during freefrag scan ocfs2: fix listxattr handling when the buffer is full doc: watchdog: fix typos etc update Sean's email address ocfs2: use get_random_u32() where appropriate ocfs2: split transactions in dio completion to avoid credit exhaustion ocfs2: remove redundant l_next_free_rec check in __ocfs2_find_path() ocfs2: validate extent block list fields during block read ocfs2: remove empty extent list check in ocfs2_dx_dir_lookup_rec() ocfs2: validate dx_root extent list fields during block read ocfs2: fix use-after-free in ocfs2_fault() when VM_FAULT_RETRY ocfs2: handle invalid dinode in ocfs2_group_extend .get_maintainer.ignore: add Askar ocfs2: validate bg_list extent bounds in discontig groups checkpatch: exclude forward declarations of const structs tools/accounting: handle truncated taskstats netlink messages taskstats: set version in TGID exit notifications ocfs2/heartbeat: fix slot mapping rollback leaks on error paths arm64,ppc64le/kdump: pass dm-crypt keys to kdump kernel ...

Merge branch 'nocache-cleanup'

2026-04-13T15:39:51Z

This series cleans up some of the special user copy functions naming and semantics. In particular, get rid of the (very traditional) double underscore names and behavior: the whole "optimize away the range check" model has been largely excised from the other user accessors because it's so subtle and can be unsafe, but also because it's just not a relevant optimization any more. To do that, a couple of drivers that misused the "user" copies as kernel copies in order to get non-temporal stores had to be fixed up, but that kind of code should never have been allowed anyway. The x86-only "nocache" version was also renamed to more accurately reflect what it actually does. This was all done because I looked at this code due to a report by Jann Horn, and I just couldn't stand the inconsistent naming, the horrible semantics, and the random misuse of these functions. This code should probably be cleaned up further, but it's at least slightly closer to normal semantics. I had a more intrusive series that went even further in trying to normalize the semantics, but that ended up hitting so many other inconsistencies between different architectures in this area (eg 'size_t' vs 'unsigned long' vs 'int' as size arguments, and various iovec check differences that Vasily Gorbik pointed out) that I ended up with this more limited version that fixed the worst of the issues.

powerpc/net: Inline checksum wrappers and convert to scoped user access

2026-04-01T03:51:07Z

Commit 861574d51bbd ("powerpc/uaccess: Implement masked user access") provides optimised user access by avoiding the cost of access_ok(). Convert csum_and_copy_to_user() and csum_and_copy_from_user() to scoped user access to benefit from masked user access. csum_and_copy_to_user() and csum_and_copy_from_user() are only called respectively by csum_and_copy_to_iter() and csum_and_copy_from_iter_full() and they are only called twice. Those functions used to be large but they were first reduced by commit c693cc4676a0 ("saner calling conventions for csum_and_copy_..._user()") then commit 70d65cd555c5 ("ppc: propagate the calling conventions change down to csum_partial_copy_generic()"). With the additional size reduction provided by conversion to scoped user access they are not worth being kept out of line. $ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux.0 vmlinux.1 add/remove: 0/2 grow/shrink: 2/0 up/down: 136/-176 (-40) Function old new delta csum_and_copy_to_iter 2416 2488 +72 csum_and_copy_from_iter_full 2272 2336 +64 csum_and_copy_to_user 88 - -88 csum_and_copy_from_user 88 - -88 Total: Before=11514471, After=11514431, chg -0.00% Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy (CS GROUP) Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan Link: https://patch.msgid.link/f44e1b2760dbed35b237040001a91bc8304b726b.1773137098.git.chleroy@kernel.org

x86-64/arm64/powerpc: clean up and rename __copy_from_user_flushcache

2026-03-30T22:05:57Z

This finishes the work on these odd functions that were only implemented by a handful of architectures. The 'flushcache' function was only used from the iterator code, and let's make it do the same thing that the nontemporal version does: remove the two underscores and add the user address checking. Yes, yes, the user address checking is also done at iovec import time, but we have long since walked away from the old double-underscore thing where we try to avoid address checking overhead at access time, and these functions shouldn't be so special and old-fashioned. The arm64 version already did the address check, in fact, so there it's just a matter of renaming it. For powerpc and x86-64 we now do the proper user access boilerplate.

powerpc: fix KUAP warning in VMX usercopy path

2026-03-12T05:33:47Z

On powerpc with PREEMPT_FULL or PREEMPT_LAZY and function tracing enabled, KUAP warnings can be triggered from the VMX usercopy path under memory stress workloads. KUAP requires that no subfunctions are called once userspace access has been enabled. The existing VMX copy implementation violates this requirement by invoking enter_vmx_usercopy() from the assembly path after userspace access has already been enabled. If preemption occurs in this window, the AMR state may not be preserved correctly, leading to unexpected userspace access state and resulting in KUAP warnings. Fix this by restructuring the VMX usercopy flow so that VMX selection and VMX state management are centralized in raw_copy_tofrom_user(), which is invoked by the raw_copy_{to,from,in}_user() wrappers. The new flow is: - raw_copy_{to,from,in}_user() calls raw_copy_tofrom_user() - raw_copy_tofrom_user() decides whether to use the VMX path based on size and CPU capability - Call enter_vmx_usercopy() before enabling userspace access - Enable userspace access as per the copy direction and perform the VMX copy - Disable userspace access as per the copy direction - Call exit_vmx_usercopy() - Fall back to the base copy routine if the VMX copy faults With this change, the VMX assembly routines no longer perform VMX state management or call helper functions; they only implement the copy operations. The previous feature-section based VMX selection inside __copy_tofrom_user_power7() is removed, and a dedicated __copy_tofrom_user_power7_vmx() entry point is introduced. This ensures correct KUAP ordering, avoids subfunction calls while KUAP is unlocked, and eliminates the warnings while preserving the VMX fast path.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28Z

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook
