kho: add test for kexec handover

2025-08-02T19:01:41Z

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.

Pull CRC updates from Eric Biggers: - Reorganize the architecture-optimized CRC code It now lives in lib/crc/$(SRCARCH)/ rather than arch/$(SRCARCH)/lib/, and it is no longer artificially split into separate generic and arch modules. This allows better inlining and dead code elimination The generic CRC code is also no longer exported, simplifying the API. (This mirrors the similar changes to SHA-1 and SHA-2 in lib/crypto/, which can be found in the "Crypto library updates" pull request) - Improve crc32c() performance on newer x86_64 CPUs on long messages by enabling the VPCLMULQDQ optimized code - Simplify the crypto_shash wrappers for crc32_le() and crc32c() Register just one shash algorithm for each that uses the (fully optimized) library functions, instead of unnecessarily providing direct access to the generic CRC code - Remove unused and obsolete drivers for hardware CRC engines - Remove CRC-32 combination functions that are no longer used - Add kerneldoc for crc32_le(), crc32_be(), and crc32c() - Convert the crc32() macro to an inline function * tag 'crc-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux: (26 commits) lib/crc: x86/crc32c: Enable VPCLMULQDQ optimization where beneficial lib/crc: x86: Reorganize crc-pclmul static_call initialization lib/crc: crc64: Add include/linux/crc64.h to kernel-api.rst lib/crc: crc32: Change crc32() from macro to inline function and remove cast nvmem: layouts: Switch from crc32() to crc32_le() lib/crc: crc32: Document crc32_le(), crc32_be(), and crc32c() lib/crc: Explicitly include lib/crc: Remove ARCH_HAS_* kconfig symbols lib/crc: x86: Migrate optimized CRC code into lib/crc/ lib/crc: sparc: Migrate optimized CRC code into lib/crc/ lib/crc: s390: Migrate optimized CRC code into lib/crc/ lib/crc: riscv: Migrate optimized CRC code into lib/crc/ lib/crc: powerpc: Migrate optimized CRC code into lib/crc/ lib/crc: mips: Migrate optimized CRC code into lib/crc/ lib/crc: loongarch: Migrate optimized CRC code into lib/crc/ lib/crc: arm64: Migrate optimized CRC code into lib/crc/ lib/crc: arm: Migrate optimized CRC code into lib/crc/ lib/crc: Prepare for arch-optimized code in subdirs of lib/crc/ lib/crc: Move files into lib/crc/ lib/crc32: Remove unused combination support ...

stackleak: Rename STACKLEAK to KSTACK_ERASE

2025-07-22T04:35:01Z

In preparation for adding Clang sanitizer coverage stack depth tracking that can support stack depth callbacks: - Add the new top-level CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE option which will be implemented either with the stackleak GCC plugin, or with the Clang stack depth callback support. - Rename CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK as needed to CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE, but keep it for anything specific to the GCC plugin itself. - Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn. While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS, since that's the only place it is referenced from.

panic: generalize panic_print's function to show sys info

2025-07-20T02:08:24Z

'panic_print' was introduced to help debugging kernel panic by dumping different kinds of system information like tasks' call stack, memory, ftrace buffer, etc. Actually this function could also be used to help debugging other cases like task-hung, soft/hard lockup, etc. where user may need the snapshot of system info at that time. Extract system info dump function related code from panic.c to separate file sys_info.[ch], for wider usage by other kernel parts for debugging. Also modify the macro names about singulars/plurals.

kbuild: Switch from -Wvla to -Wvla-larger-than=1

2025-05-08T16:42:06Z

Variable Length Arrays (VLAs) on the stack must not be used in the kernel. Function parameter VLAs[1] should be usable, but -Wvla will warn for those. For example, this will produce a warning but it is not using a stack VLA: int something(size_t n, int array[n]) { ... Clang has no way yet to distinguish between the VLA types[2], so depend on GCC for now to keep stack VLAs out of the tree by using GCC's -Wvla-larger-than=N option (though GCC may split -Wvla similarly[3] to how Clang is planning to). While GCC 8+ supports -Wvla-larger-than, only 9+ supports ...=0[4], so use -Wvla-larger-than=1. Adjust mm/kasan/Makefile to remove it from CFLAGS (GCC <9 appears unable to disable the warning correctly[5]). The VLA usage in lib/test_ubsan.c was removed in commit 9d7ca61b1366 ("lib/test_ubsan.c: VLA no longer used in kernel") so the lib/Makefile disabling of VLA checking can be entirely removed.

As a driver opt-in protect queue operations and (in due course) ethtool operations with the instance lock and not RTNL lock. - Support collecting TCP timestamps (data submitted, sent, acked) in BPF, allowing for transparent (to the application) and lower overhead tracking of TCP RPC performance. - Tweak existing networking Rx zero-copy infra to support zero-copy Rx via io_uring. - Optimize MPTCP performance in single subflow mode by 29%. - Enable GRO on packets which went thru XDP CPU redirect (were queued for processing on a different CPU). Improving TCP stream performance up to 2x. - Improve performance of contended connect() by 200% by searching for an available 4-tuple under RCU rather than a spin lock.

Pull VDSO infrastructure updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Consolidate the VDSO storage The VDSO data storage and data layout has been largely architecture specific for historical reasons. That increases the maintenance effort and causes inconsistencies over and over. There is no real technical reason for architecture specific layouts and implementations. The architecture specific details can easily be integrated into a generic layout, which also reduces the amount of duplicated code for managing the mappings. Convert all architectures over to a unified layout and common mapping infrastructure. This splits the VDSO data layout into subsystem specific blocks, timekeeping, random and architecture parts, which provides a better structure and allows to improve and update the functionalities without conflict and interaction. - Rework the timekeeping data storage The current implementation is designed for exposing system timekeeping accessors, which was good enough at the time when it was designed. PTP and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) change that as there are requirements to expose independent PTP clocks, which are not related to system timekeeping. Replace the monolithic data storage by a structured layout, which allows to add support for independent PTP clocks on top while reusing both the data structures and the time accessor implementations. * tag 'timers-vdso-2025-03-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (55 commits) sparc/vdso: Always reject undefined references during linking x86/vdso: Always reject undefined references during linking vdso: Rework struct vdso_time_data and introduce struct vdso_clock vdso: Move architecture related data before basetime data powerpc/vdso: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock arm64/vdso: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock x86/vdso: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock time/namespace: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/namespace: Rename timens_setup_vdso_data() to reflect new vdso_clock struct vdso/vsyscall: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare helper functions for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_coarse_timens() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_coarse() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_hres_timens() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare do_hres() for introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/gettimeofday: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/helpers: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock vdso/datapage: Define vdso_clock to prepare for multiple PTP clocks vdso: Make vdso_time_data cacheline aligned arm64: Make asm/cache.h compatible with vDSO ...
