Pull RISC-V updates from Paul Walmsley: "There is one significant change outside arch/riscv in this pull request: the addition of a set of KUnit tests for strlen(), strnlen(), and strrchr(). Otherwise, the most notable changes are to add some RISC-V-specific string function implementations, to remove XIP kernel support, to add hardware error exception handling, and to optimize our runtime unaligned access speed testing. A few comments on the motivation for removing XIP support. It's been broken in the RISC-V kernel for months. The code is not easy to maintain. Furthermore, for XIP support to truly be useful for RISC-V, we think that compile-time feature switches would need to be added for many of the RISC-V ISA features and microarchitectural properties that are currently implemented with runtime patching. No one has stepped forward to take responsibility for that work, so many of us think it's best to remove it until clear use cases and champions emerge. Summary: - Add Kunit correctness testing and microbenchmarks for strlen(), strnlen(), and strrchr() - Add RISC-V-specific strnlen(), strchr(), strrchr() implementations - Add hardware error exception handling - Clean up and optimize our unaligned access probe code - Enable HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT to be able to use generic_access_phys() - Remove XIP kernel support - Warn when addresses outside the vmemmap range are passed to vmemmap_populate() - Update the ACPI FADT revision check to warn if it's not at least ACPI v6.6, which is when key RISC-V-specific tables were added to the specification - Increase COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to 2048 to match ARM64, x86, PowerPC, etc. - Make kaslr_offset() a static inline function, since there's no need for it to show up in the symbol table - Add KASLR offset and SATP to the VMCOREINFO ELF notes to improve kdump support - Add Makefile cleanup rule for vdso_cfi copied source files, and add a .gitignore for the build artifacts in that directory - Remove some redundant ifdefs that check Kconfig macros - Add missing SPDX license tag to the CFI selftest - Simplify UTS_MACHINE assignment in the RISC-V Makefile - Clarify some unclear comments and remove some superfluous comments - Fix various English typos across the RISC-V codebase" * tag 'riscv-for-linus-7.1-mw1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/riscv/linux: (31 commits) riscv: Remove support for XIP kernel riscv: Reuse compare_unaligned_access() in check_vector_unaligned_access() riscv: Split out compare_unaligned_access() riscv: Reuse measure_cycles() in check_vector_unaligned_access() riscv: Split out measure_cycles() for reuse riscv: Clean up & optimize unaligned scalar access probe riscv: lib: add strrchr() implementation riscv: lib: add strchr() implementation riscv: lib: add strnlen() implementation lib/string_kunit: extend benchmarks to strnlen() and chr searches lib/string_kunit: add performance benchmark for strlen() lib/string_kunit: add correctness test for strrchr() lib/string_kunit: add correctness test for strnlen() lib/string_kunit: add correctness test for strlen() riscv: vdso_cfi: Add .gitignore for build artifacts riscv: vdso_cfi: Add clean rule for copied sources riscv: enable HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT riscv: mm: WARN_ON() for bad addresses in vmemmap_populate() riscv: acpi: update FADT revision check to 6.6 riscv: add hardware error trap handler support ...

I can't do better than to quote Christoph: "The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture code. Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later.

printf: Compile the kunit test with DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING

2026-04-15T07:36:30+00:00

GCC < 12.1 can miscompile printf_kunit's errptr() test when branch profiling is enabled. BUILD_BUG_ON(IS_ERR(PTR)) is a constant false expression, but CONFIG_TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING and CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES make the IS_ERR() path side-effectful. GCC's IPA splitter can then outline the cold assert arm into errptr.part.* and leave that clone with an unconditional __compiletime_assert_*() call, causing a false build failure. This started showing up after test_hashed() became a macro and moved its local buffer into errptr(), which changed GCC's inlining and splitting decisions enough to expose the compiler bug. Workaround the problem by disabling the branch profiling for printf_kunit.o. It is a straightforward and acceptable solution. The workaround can be removed once the minimum GCC includes commit 76fe49423047 ("Fix tree-optimization/101941: IPA splitting out function with error attribute"), which first shipped in GCC 12.1.

lib/tests/slub_kunit: add a test case for {kmalloc,kfree}_nolock

2026-04-07T09:21:32+00:00

Testing invocation of {kmalloc,kfree}_nolock() during kmalloc() or kfree() is tricky, and it is even harder to ensure that slowpaths are properly tested. Lack of such testing has led to late discovery of the bug fixed by commit a1e244a9f177 ("mm/slab: use prandom if !allow_spin"). Add a slub_kunit test that allocates and frees objects in a tight loop while a perf event triggers interrupts (NMI or hardirq depending on the arch) on the same task, invoking {kmalloc,kfree}_nolock() from the overflow handler.

lib/string_kunit: extend benchmarks to strnlen() and chr searches

2026-04-05T00:42:44+00:00

Extend the string benchmarking suite to include strnlen(), strchr(), and strrchr(). For character search functions strchr() and strrchr(), the benchmark targets the NUL character. This ensures the entire string is scanned, providing a consistent measure of full-length processing efficiency comparable to strlen().

lib/string_kunit: add performance benchmark for strlen()

2026-04-05T00:42:44+00:00

Introduce a benchmarking framework to the string_kunit test suite to measure the execution efficiency of string functions. The implementation is inspired by crc_benchmark(), measuring throughput (MB/s) and latency (ns/call) across a range of string lengths. It includes a warm-up phase, disables preemption during measurement, and uses a fixed seed for reproducible results. This framework allows for comparing different implementations (e.g., generic C vs. architecture-optimized assembly) within the KUnit environment. Initially, provide a benchmark for strlen().
