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

2026-05-29T04:24:44+00:00

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.

openrisc: Add full instruction cache invalidate functions

2026-05-23T05:34:35+00:00

Add functions to invalidate all cache lines which we will use for static_key patching. On OpenRISC there is no instruction to invalidate an entire cache so we loop and invalidate cache lines one by one. This is not extremely expensive on OpenRISC as we usually have only a few hundred cache lines. I considered using the invalidate cache page or range functions. However, tracking which ranges need invalidation would have been more expensive than flushing all pages. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Stafford Horne

ring-buffer: Flush and stop persistent ring buffer on panic

2026-05-21T12:20:58+00:00

On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded. To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

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.

treewide: provide a generic clear_user_page() variant

2026-01-21T03:24:39+00:00

Patch series "mm: folio_zero_user: clear page ranges", v11. This series adds clearing of contiguous page ranges for hugepages. The series improves on the current discontiguous clearing approach in two ways: - clear pages in a contiguous fashion. - use batched clearing via clear_pages() wherever exposed. The first is useful because it allows us to make much better use of hardware prefetchers. The second, enables advertising the real extent to the processor. Where specific instructions support it (ex. string instructions on x86; "mops" on arm64 etc), a processor can optimize based on this because, instead of seeing a sequence of 8-byte stores, or a sequence of 4KB pages, it sees a larger unit being operated on. For instance, AMD Zen uarchs (for extents larger than LLC-size) switch to a mode where they start eliding cacheline allocation. This is helpful not just because it results in higher bandwidth, but also because now the cache is not evicting useful cachelines and replacing them with zeroes. Demand faulting a 64GB region shows performance improvement: $ perf bench mem mmap -p $pg-sz -f demand -s 64GB -l 5 baseline +series (GBps +- %stdev) (GBps +- %stdev) pg-sz=2MB 11.76 +- 1.10% 25.34 +- 1.18% [*] +115.47% preempt=* pg-sz=1GB 24.85 +- 2.41% 39.22 +- 2.32% + 57.82% preempt=none|voluntary pg-sz=1GB (similar) 52.73 +- 0.20% [#] +112.19% preempt=full|lazy [*] This improvement is because switching to sequential clearing allows the hardware prefetchers to do a much better job. [#] For pg-sz=1GB a large part of the improvement is because of the cacheline elision mentioned above. preempt=full|lazy improves upon that because, not needing explicit invocations of cond_resched() to ensure reasonable preemption latency, it can clear the full extent as a single unit. In comparison the maximum extent used for preempt=none|voluntary is PROCESS_PAGES_NON_PREEMPT_BATCH (32MB). When provided the full extent the processor forgoes allocating cachelines on this path almost entirely. (The hope is that eventually, in the fullness of time, the lazy preemption model will be able to do the same job that none or voluntary models are used for, allowing us to do away with cond_resched().) Raghavendra also tested previous version of the series on AMD Genoa and sees similar improvement [1] with preempt=lazy. $ perf bench mem map -p $page-size -f populate -s 64GB -l 10 base patched change pg-sz=2MB 12.731939 GB/sec 26.304263 GB/sec 106.6% pg-sz=1GB 26.232423 GB/sec 61.174836 GB/sec 133.2% This patch (of 8): Let's drop all variants that effectively map to clear_page() and provide it in a generic variant instead. We'll use the macro clear_user_page to indicate whether an architecture provides it's own variant. Also, clear_user_page() is only called from the generic variant of clear_user_highpage(), so define it only if the architecture does not provide a clear_user_highpage(). And, for simplicity define it in linux/highmem.h. Note that for parisc, clear_page() and clear_user_page() map to clear_page_asm(), so we can just get rid of the custom clear_user_page() implementation. There is a clear_user_page_asm() function on parisc, that seems to be unused. Not sure what's up with that.

openrisc: define arch-specific version of nop()

2026-01-20T19:24:05+00:00

When compiling a driver written for MIPS on OpenRISC that uses the nop() function, it fails due to the following error: drivers/watchdog/pic32-wdt.c: Assembler messages: drivers/watchdog/pic32-wdt.c:125: Error: unrecognized instruction `nop' The driver currently uses the generic version of nop() from include/asm-generic/barrier.h: #ifndef nop #define nop() asm volatile ("nop") #endif Let's fix this on OpenRISC by defining an architecture-specific version of nop(). This was tested by performing an allmodconfig openrisc cross compile on an aarch64 host.

openrisc: Fix IPIs on simple multicore systems

2026-01-16T16:38:56+00:00

Commit c05671846451 ("openrisc: sleep instead of spin on secondary wait") fixed OpenRISC SMP Linux for QEMU. However, stability was never achieved on FPGA development boards. This is because the above patch has a step to unmask IPIs on non-boot cpu's but on hardware without power management, IPIs remain masked. This meant that IPI's were never actually working on the simple SMP systems we run on development boards. The systems booted but stability was very suspect. Add the ability to unmask IPI's on the non-boot cores. This is done by making the OMPIC IRQs proper percpu IRQs. We can then use the enabled_percpu_irq() to unmask IRQ on the non-boot cpus. Update the or1k PIC driver to use a flow handler that can switch between percpu and the configured level or edge flow handlers at runtime. This mechanism is inspired by that done in the J-Core AIC driver. Signed-off-by: Stafford Horne Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner
