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

mm: change to return bool for ptep_clear_flush_young()/clear_flush_young_ptes()

2026-04-05T20:53:35+00:00

The ptep_clear_flush_young() and clear_flush_young_ptes() are used to clear the young flag and flush the TLB, returning whether the young flag was set. Change the return type to bool to make the intention clearer.

mm: change to return bool for ptep_test_and_clear_young()

2026-04-05T20:53:35+00:00

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.

mm/page_table_check: Pass mm_struct to pxx_user_accessible_page()

2026-03-12T23:07:47+00:00

Unlike other architectures, s390 does not have means to distinguish kernel vs user page table entries - neither an entry itself, nor the address could be used for that. It is only the mm_struct that indicates whether an entry in question is mapped to a user space. So pass mm_struct to pxx_user_accessible_page() callbacks.

powerpc/e500: Always use 64 bits PTE

2026-03-04T05:35:06+00:00

Today there are two PTE formats for e500: - The 64 bits format, used - On 64 bits kernel - On 32 bits kernel with 64 bits physical addresses - On 32 bits kernel with support of huge pages - The 32 bits format, used in other cases Maintaining two PTE formats means unnecessary maintenance burden because every change needs to be implemented and tested for both formats. Remove the 32 bits PTE format. The memory usage increase due to larger PTEs is minimal (approx. 0,1% of memory). This also means that from now on huge pages are supported also with 32 bits physical addresses.

powerpc/mm: support page table check

2026-01-27T04:02:36+00:00

On creation and clearing of a page table mapping, instrument such calls by invoking page_table_check_pte_set and page_table_check_pte_clear respectively. These calls serve as a sanity check against illegal mappings. Enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK on powerpc, except when HUGETLB_PAGE is enabled (powerpc has some weirdness in how it implements set_huge_pte_at(), which may require some further work).

powerpc/mm: implement *_user_accessible_page() for ptes

2026-01-27T04:02:35+00:00

Page table checking depends on architectures providing an implementation of p{te,md,ud}_user_accessible_page. With refactorisations made on powerpc/mm, the pte_access_permitted() and similar methods verify whether a userland page is accessible with the required permissions. Since page table checking is the only user of p{te,md,ud}_user_accessible_page(), implement these for all platforms, using some of the same preliminary checks taken by pte_access_permitted() on that platform. Since commit 8e9bd41e4ce1 ("powerpc/nohash: Replace pte_user() by pte_read()") pte_user() is no longer required to be present on all platforms as it may be equivalent to or implied by pte_read(). Hence implementations of pte_user_accessible_page() are specialised.

powerpc/32: Automatically adapt TASK_SIZE based on constraints

2026-01-07T04:01:05+00:00

At the time being, TASK_SIZE can be customized by the user via Kconfig but it is not possible to check all constraints in Kconfig. Impossible setups are detected at compile time with BUILD_BUG() but that leads to build failure when setting crazy values. It is not a problem on its own because the user will usually either use the default value or set a well thought value. However build robots generate crazy random configs that lead to build failures, and build robots see it as a regression every time a patch adds such a constraint. So instead of failing the build when the custom TASK_SIZE is too big, just adjust it to the maximum possible value matching the setup. Several architectures already calculate TASK_SIZE based on other parameters and options. In order to do so, move MODULES_VADDR calculation into task_size_32.h and ensure that: - On book3s/32, userspace and module area have their own segments (256M) - On 8xx, userspace has its own full PGDIR entries (4M) Then TASK_SIZE is guaranteed to be correct so remove related BUILD_BUG()s.
