Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik: - Add support for CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK and enable it in debug_defconfig. s390 can only tell user from kernel PTEs via the mm, so mm_struct is now passed into pxx_user_accessible_page() callbacks - Expose the PCI function UID as an arch-specific slot attribute in sysfs so a function can be identified by its user-defined id while still in standby. Introduces a generic ARCH_PCI_SLOT_GROUPS hook in drivers/pci/slot.c - Refresh s390 PCI documentation to reflect current behavior and cover previously undocumented sysfs attributes - zcrypt device driver cleanup series: consistent field types, clearer variable naming, a kernel-doc warning fix, and a comment explaining the intentional synchronize_rcu() in pkey_handler_register() - Provide an s390 arch_raw_cpu_ptr() that avoids the detour via get_lowcore() using alternatives, shrinking defconfig by ~27 kB - Guard identity-base randomization with kaslr_enabled() so nokaslr keeps the identity mapping at 0 even with RANDOMIZE_IDENTITY_BASE=y - Build S390_MODULES_SANITY_TEST as a module only by requiring KUNIT && m, since built-in would not exercise module loading - Remove the permanently commented-out HMCDRV_DEV_CLASS create_class() code in the hmcdrv driver - Drop stale ident_map_size extern conflicting with asm/page.h * tag 's390-7.1-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: s390/zcrypt: Fix warning about wrong kernel doc comment PCI: s390: Expose the UID as an arch specific PCI slot attribute docs: s390/pci: Improve and update PCI documentation s390/pkey: Add comment about synchronize_rcu() to pkey base s390/hmcdrv: Remove commented out code s390/zcrypt: Slight rework on the agent_id field s390/zcrypt: Explicitly use a card variable in _zcrypt_send_cprb s390/zcrypt: Rework MKVP fields and handling s390/zcrypt: Make apfs a real unsigned int field s390/zcrypt: Rework domain processing within zcrypt device driver s390/zcrypt: Move inline function rng_type6cprb_msgx from header to code s390/percpu: Provide arch_raw_cpu_ptr() s390: Enable page table check for debug_defconfig s390/pgtable: Add s390 support for page table check s390/pgtable: Use set_pmd_bit() to invalidate PMD entry mm/page_table_check: Pass mm_struct to pxx_user_accessible_page() s390/boot: Respect kaslr_enabled() for identity randomization s390/Kconfig: Make modules sanity test a module-only option s390/setup: Drop stale ident_map_size declaration

Patch series "change young flag check functions to return bool", v2. This is a cleanup patchset to change all young flag check functions to return bool, as discussed with David in the previous thread[1]. Since callers only care about whether the young flag was set, returning bool makes the intention clearer. No functional changes intended. This patch (of 6): Callers use ptep_test_and_clear_young() to clear the young flag and check whether it was set. Change the return type to bool to make the intention clearer.

arm64: mm: implement the architecture-specific test_and_clear_young_ptes()

2026-04-05T20:53:16+00:00

Implement the Arm64 architecture-specific test_and_clear_young_ptes() to enable batched checking of young flags, improving performance during large folio reclamation when MGLRU is enabled. While we're at it, simplify ptep_test_and_clear_young() by calling test_and_clear_young_ptes(). Since callers guarantee that PTEs are present before calling these functions, we can use pte_cont() to check the CONT_PTE flag instead of pte_valid_cont(). Performance testing: Enable MGLRU, then allocate 10G clean file-backed folios by mmap() in a memory cgroup, and try to reclaim 8G file-backed folios via the memory.reclaim interface. I can observe 60%+ performance improvement on my Arm64 32-core server (and about 15% improvement on my X86 machine).

mm: cache struct page for empty_zero_page and return it from ZERO_PAGE()

2026-04-05T20:53:01+00:00

For most architectures every invocation of ZERO_PAGE() does virt_to_page(empty_zero_page). But empty_zero_page is in BSS and it is enough to get its struct page once at initialization time and then use it whenever a zero page should be accessed. Add yet another __zero_page variable that will be initialized as virt_to_page(empty_zero_page) for most architectures in a weak arch_setup_zero_pages() function. For architectures that use colored zero pages (MIPS and s390) rename their setup_zero_pages() to arch_setup_zero_pages() and make it global rather than static. For architectures that cannot use virt_to_page() for BSS (arm64 and sparc64) add override of arch_setup_zero_pages().

arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_page

2026-04-05T20:53:01+00:00

Reduce 22 declarations of empty_zero_page to 3 and 23 declarations of ZERO_PAGE() to 4. Every architecture defines empty_zero_page that way or another, but for the most of them it is always a page aligned page in BSS and most definitions of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page). Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement colored zero page (MIPS and s390). ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static inline causes severe pain in header dependencies. For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy: * alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only * arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact. * m68k/parisc/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock, although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS will work fine. * sparc64 can have empty_zero_page in BSS rather allocate it, but it can't use virt_to_page() for BSS. Keep it's definition of ZERO_PAGE() but instead of allocating it, make mem_map_zero point to empty_zero_page. * sh: used empty_zero_page for boot parameters at the very early boot. Rename the parameters page to boot_params_page and let sh use the generic empty_zero_page. * hexagon: had an amusing comment about empty_zero_page /* A handy thing to have if one has the RAM. Declared in head.S */ that unfortunately had to go :) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20260211103141.3215197-4-rppt@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) Acked-by: Helge Deller [parisc] Tested-by: Helge Deller [parisc] Reviewed-by: Christophe Leroy (CS GROUP) Acked-by: Dave Hansen Acked-by: Catalin Marinas Acked-by: Magnus Lindholm [alpha] Acked-by: Dinh Nguyen [nios2] Acked-by: Andreas Larsson [sparc] Acked-by: David Hildenbrand (Arm) Acked-by: Liam R.

arm64: mm: Remove pmd_sect() and pud_sect()

2026-04-02T19:49:16+00:00

The semantics of pXd_leaf() are very similar to pXd_sect(). The only difference is that pXd_sect() only considers it a section if PTE_VALID is set, whereas pXd_leaf() permits both "valid" and "present-invalid" types. Using pXd_sect() has caused issues now that large leaf entries can be present-invalid since commit a166563e7ec37 ("arm64: mm: support large block mapping when rodata=full"), so let's just remove the API and standardize on pXd_leaf(). There are a few callsites of the form pXd_leaf(READ_ONCE(*pXdp)). This was previously fine for the pXd_sect() macro because it only evaluated its argument once. But pXd_leaf() evaluates its argument multiple times. So let's avoid unintended side effects by reimplementing pXd_leaf() as an inline function.
