mm/sparse-vmemmap: pass @pgmap argument to memory deactivation paths

2026-08-03T09:26:03+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3bbc54dd1b62f1a4b218c70aafbeceeba7c90c5d ] Currently, the memory hot-remove call chain -- arch_remove_memory(), __remove_pages(), sparse_remove_section() and section_deactivate() -- does not carry the struct dev_pagemap pointer. This prevents the lower levels from knowing whether the section was originally populated with vmemmap optimizations (e.g., DAX with vmemmap optimization enabled). Without this information, we cannot call vmemmap_can_optimize() to determine if the vmemmap pages were optimized. As a result, the vmemmap page accounting during teardown will mistakenly assume a non-optimized allocation, leading to incorrect memmap statistics. To lay the groundwork for fixing the vmemmap page accounting, we need to pass the @pgmap pointer down to the deactivation location. Plumb the @pgmap argument through the APIs of arch_remove_memory(), __remove_pages() and sparse_remove_section(), mirroring the corresponding *_activate() paths.

powerpc/vtime: Initialize starttime at boot for native accounting

2026-08-03T09:25:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit c1c1ffa490fc33591e90852ed0d38804dd20bc36 ] It was observed that /proc/stat had very large value for one ore more CPUs. It was more visible after recent code simplifications around cpustats. System has 240 CPUs. cat /proc/uptime; 194.18 46500.55 cat /proc/stat cpu 5966 39 837032887 4650070 164 185 100 0 0 0 cpu0 108 0 837030890 19109 24 4 23 0 0 0 Since uptime is 194s, system time of each CPU can't be more than 19400. Sum of system time of all CPUs can't be more than 19400*240 4656000. In fact huge value is close to mftb(). Note mftb doesn't reset on powerVM when the LPAR restart. It only resets when whole system resets. The same issue exists for kexec too. This happens since starttime is not setup at init time. Once it is set then subsequent vtime_delta will return the right delta. Fix it by initializing the starttime during CPU initialization. This fixes the large times seen. cat /proc/uptime; cat /proc/stat 15.78 3694.63 cpu 6035 35 1347 369479 23 144 49 0 0 0 cpu0 19 0 38 1508 0 1 14 0 0 0 Now, system time is reported as expected.

powerpc/time: Prepare to stop elapsing in dynticks-idle

2026-08-03T09:25:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit c8ba971cf8567d49eb5f43ee90c4e50424331c18 ] Currently the tick subsystem stores the idle cputime accounting in private fields, allowing cohabitation with architecture idle vtime accounting. The former is fetched on online CPUs, the latter on offline CPUs. For consolidation purpose, architecture vtime accounting will continue to account the cputime but will make a break when the idle tick is stopped. The dyntick cputime accounting will then be relayed by the tick subsystem so that the idle cputime is still seen advancing coherently even when the tick isn't there to flush the idle vtime. Prepare for that and introduce three new APIs which will be used in subsequent patches: - vtime_dynticks_start() is deemed to be called when idle enters in dyntick mode. The idle cputime that elapsed so far is accumulated. - vtime_dynticks_stop() is deemed to be called when idle exits from dyntick mode. The vtime entry clocks are fast-forward to current time so that idle accounting restarts elapsing from now. - vtime_reset() is deemed to be called from dynticks idle IRQ entry to fast-forward the clock to current time so that the IRQ time is still accounted by vtime while nohz cputime is paused. Also accumulated vtime won't be flushed from dyntick-idle ticks to avoid accounting twice the idle cputime, along with nohz accounting.

powerpc/spufs: fix out-of-bounds access in spufs_mem_mmap_access()

commit 47b87f469a35b5ffc81c16eee6b13a9b6c8d55c6 upstream. spufs_mem_mmap_access() computes the local store offset as address - vma->vm_start, but bounds-checks it against vma->vm_end instead of the local store size. On 64-bit, offset is always well below vma->vm_end, so the clamp never fires and len stays unbounded against the LS_SIZE buffer returned by ctx->ops->get_ls(). Reject offsets at or beyond LS_SIZE and clamp len to the remaining space, mirroring the guard already used by spufs_mem_mmap_fault() and spufs_ps_fault().

powerpc/dt_cpu_ftrs: Set CPU_FTR_P11_PVR for Power11 and later processors

2026-07-24T14:21:02+00:00

commit e4de1b9cb3b5c981e4fe9bca253a7fb9161f5acd upstream. When using device tree CPU features (dt-cpu-ftrs), the kernel bypasses the traditional cputable-based CPU identification and instead derives CPU features from the device tree's "ibm,powerpc-cpu-features" node provided by firmware. However, CPU_FTR_P11_PVR is a kernel-internal feature flag used to identify Power11 and later processors, and is not represented in the device tree's ISA feature set. While ISA v3.1 support (indicated by CPU_FTR_ARCH_31) is present on both Power10 and Power11, the CPU_FTR_P11_PVR flag is specifically needed by code that must distinguish between Power10 and Power11 processors. Without this flag set, code that checks for Power11 using cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_P11_PVR) will incorrectly return false on Power11+ systems using dt-cpu-ftrs, leading to incorrect behavior. This issue manifests specifically in powernv environments (bare-metal or QEMU TCG with powernv machine type), where skiboot/OPAL firmware provides the "ibm,powerpc-cpu-features" node, causing the kernel to use dt-cpu-ftrs. The issue does not affect pseries guests, where SLOF firmware does not provide this node, causing the kernel to fall back to the traditional cputable path (identify_cpu) which correctly sets CPU_FTR_P11_PVR during PVR-based CPU identification. In powernv TCG guests, the missing flag causes KVM code to trigger warnings when attempting to create KVM guests, as cpu_features shows 0x000c00eb8f4fb187 (missing bit 53) instead of the correct 0x002c00eb8f4fb187 (with bit 53 set). Fix this by setting CPU_FTR_P11_PVR for all processors with PVR >= PVR_POWER11 when ISA v3.1 support is detected in cpufeatures_setup_start(). This approach ensures forward compatibility with future processor generations.

powerpc/kexec: fix double get_cpu() imbalance in kexec_prepare_cpus

2026-07-24T14:19:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5c86f1c1f972761a04bf22f4c0618d1aa714185b ] kexec_prepare_cpus_wait() calls get_cpu() internally to obtain the current CPU id. kexec_prepare_cpus() calls kexec_prepare_cpus_wait() twice -- once for KEXEC_STATE_IRQS_OFF and once for KEXEC_STATE_REAL_MODE -- but only issues a single put_cpu() at the end, leaving preempt_count elevated by one extra nesting level. In practice the imbalance does not trigger a 'scheduling while atomic' splat because the kexec path is a one-way trip: IRQs are already disabled, no schedule() occurs after the leak, and default_machine_kexec() overwrites preempt_count with HARDIRQ_OFFSET before jumping into kexec_sequence() which never returns. However the bookkeeping is still wrong. kexec_prepare_cpus() calls local_irq_disable()/hard_irq_disable() before invoking kexec_prepare_cpus_wait(), so the CPU is already pinned and the get_cpu()/put_cpu() preempt_disable() bracketing is unnecessary. Only the current CPU id is needed, so replace get_cpu() with raw_smp_processor_id() and drop the now-unneeded put_cpu().
