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

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.

powerpc/64s: Add support for huge pfnmaps

2026-03-30T10:22:17+00:00

This uses _RPAGE_SW2 bit for the PMD and PUDs similar to PTEs. This also adds support for {pte,pmd,pud}_pgprot helpers needed for follow_pfnmap APIs. This allows us to extend the PFN mappings, e.g. PCI MMIO bars where it can grow as large as 8GB or even bigger, to map at PMD / PUD level. VFIO PCI core driver already supports fault handling at PMD / PUD level for more efficient BAR mappings.

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/mm: use set_pte_at_unchecked() for internal usages

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

In the new set_ptes() API, set_pte_at() (a special case of set_ptes()) is intended to be instrumented by the page table check facility. There are however several other routines that constitute the API for setting page table entries, including set_pmd_at() among others. Such routines are themselves implemented in terms of set_ptes_at(). A future patch providing support for page table checking on powerpc must take care to avoid duplicate calls to page_table_check_p{te,md,ud}_set(). Allow for assignment of pte entries without instrumentation through the set_pte_at_unchecked() routine introduced in this patch. Cause API-facing routines that call set_pte_at() to instead call set_pte_at_unchecked(), which will remain uninstrumented by page table check. set_ptes() is itself implemented by calls to __set_pte_at(), so this eliminates redundant code.

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: Remove PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT to fix startup failure

2025-09-16T10:46:00+00:00

PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT is an old macro that is used to tell kernel whether kernel text has to be mapped read-only or read-write based on build time options. But nowadays, with functionnalities like jump_labels, static links, etc ... more only less all kernels need to be read-write at some point, and some combinations of configs failed to work due to innacurate setting of PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT. On the other hand, today we have CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX which implements a more controlled access to kernel modifications. Instead of trying to keep PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT accurate with all possible options that may imply kernel text modification, always set kernel text read-write at startup and rely on CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX to provide accurate protection. Do this by passing PAGE_KERNEL_X to map_kernel_page() in __maping_ram_chunk() instead of passing PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT. Once this is done, the only remaining user of PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT is mmu_mark_initmem_nx() which uses it in a call to setibat(). As setibat() ignores the RW/RO, we can seamlessly replace PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT by PAGE_KERNEL_X here as well and get rid of PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT completely.

powerpc: Replace ASSEMBLY with ASSEMBLER in non-uapi headers

2025-09-01T07:53:29+00:00

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembler code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This is bad since macros starting with two underscores are names that are reserved by the C language. It can also be very confusing for the developers when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize now on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers. This is almost a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement), apart from tweaking two comments manually in arch/powerpc/include/asm/bug.h and arch/powerpc/include/asm/kasan.h (which did not have proper underscores at the end) and fixing a checkpatch error about spaces in arch/powerpc/include/asm/spu_csa.h.
