mm: convert __HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE to CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE config

2026-02-06T23:47:19+00:00

For architectures that define __HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE, the page tables at the pmd/pud level are generally not of struct ptdesc type, and do not have pt_rcu_head member, thus these architectures cannot support PT_RECLAIM. In preparation for enabling PT_RECLAIM on more architectures, convert __HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE to CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE config, so that we can make conditional judgments in Kconfig.

sparc: don't reference obsolete termio struct for TC* constants

2026-02-06T14:15:53+00:00

Similar in nature to commit ab107276607a ("powerpc: Fix struct termio related ioctl macros"). glibc-2.42 drops the legacy termio struct, but the ioctls.h header still defines some TC* constants in terms of termio (via sizeof). Hardcode the values instead.

sparc: Add architecture support for clone3

2026-02-06T14:03:43+00:00

Add support for the clone3 system call to the SPARC architectures. The implementation follows the pattern of the original clone syscall. However, instead of explicitly calling kernel_clone, the clone3 handler calls the generic sys_clone3 handler in kernel/fork. In case no stack is provided, the parents stack is reused. The return value convention for clone3 follows the regular kernel return value convention (in contrast to the original clone/fork on SPARC).

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.

sparc/mm: replace batch->active with is_lazy_mmu_mode_active()

2026-01-21T03:24:35+00:00

A per-CPU batch struct is activated when entering lazy MMU mode; its lifetime is the same as the lazy MMU section (it is deactivated when leaving the mode). Preemption is disabled in that interval to ensure that the per-CPU reference remains valid. The generic lazy_mmu layer now tracks whether a task is in lazy MMU mode. We can therefore use the generic helper is_lazy_mmu_mode_active() to tell whether a batch struct is active instead of tracking it explicitly.

mm: introduce CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE

2026-01-21T03:24:33+00:00

Architectures currently opt in for implementing lazy_mmu helpers by defining __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE. In preparation for introducing a generic lazy_mmu layer that will require storage in task_struct, let's switch to a cleaner approach: instead of defining a macro, select a CONFIG option. This patch introduces CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE and has each arch select it when it implements lazy_mmu helpers. __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE is removed and relies on the new CONFIG instead. On x86, lazy_mmu helpers are only implemented if PARAVIRT_XXL is selected. This creates some complications in arch/x86/boot/, because a few files manually undefine PARAVIRT* options. As a result does not define the lazy_mmu helpers, but this breaks the build as only defines them if !CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE. There does not seem to be a clean way out of this - let's just undefine that new CONFIG too.
