Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "panic: sys_info: Refactor and fix a potential issue" (Andy Shevchenko) fixes a build issue and does some cleanup in ib/sys_info.c - "Implement mul_u64_u64_div_u64_roundup()" (David Laight) enhances the 64-bit math code on behalf of a PWM driver and beefs up the test module for these library functions - "scripts/gdb/symbols: make BPF debug info available to GDB" (Ilya Leoshkevich) makes BPF symbol names, sizes, and line numbers available to the GDB debugger - "Enable hung_task and lockup cases to dump system info on demand" (Feng Tang) adds a sysctl which can be used to cause additional info dumping when the hung-task and lockup detectors fire - "lib/base64: add generic encoder/decoder, migrate users" (Kuan-Wei Chiu) adds a general base64 encoder/decoder to lib/ and migrates several users away from their private implementations - "rbree: inline rb_first() and rb_last()" (Eric Dumazet) makes TCP a little faster - "liveupdate: Rework KHO for in-kernel users" (Pasha Tatashin) reworks the KEXEC Handover interfaces in preparation for Live Update Orchestrator (LUO), and possibly for other future clients - "kho: simplify state machine and enable dynamic updates" (Pasha Tatashin) increases the flexibility of KEXEC Handover. Also preparation for LUO - "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin) is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the cover letter: This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory, devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition. As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in RAM across the kexec reboot. Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and testing work. - "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" (Sourabh Jain) moves the kexec and kdump sysfs entries from /sys/kernel/ to /sys/kernel/kexec/ and adds back-compatibility symlinks which can hopefully be removed one day - "kho: fixes for vmalloc restoration" (Mike Rapoport) fixes a BUG which was being hit during KHO restoration of vmalloc() regions * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2025-12-06-11-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (139 commits) calibrate: update header inclusion Reinstate "resource: avoid unnecessary lookups in find_next_iomem_res()" vmcoreinfo: track and log recoverable hardware errors kho: fix restoring of contiguous ranges of order-0 pages kho: kho_restore_vmalloc: fix initialization of pages array MAINTAINERS: TPM DEVICE DRIVER: update the W-tag init: replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul to improve lpj_setup KHO: fix boot failure due to kmemleak access to non-PRESENT pages Documentation/ABI: new kexec and kdump sysfs interface Documentation/ABI: mark old kexec sysfs deprecated kexec: move sysfs entries to /sys/kernel/kexec test_kho: always print restore status kho: free chunks using free_page() instead of kfree() selftests/liveupdate: add kexec test for multiple and empty sessions selftests/liveupdate: add simple kexec-based selftest for LUO selftests/liveupdate: add userspace API selftests docs: add documentation for memfd preservation via LUO mm: memfd_luo: allow preserving memfd liveupdate: luo_file: add private argument to store runtime state mm: shmem: export some functions to internal.h ...

memblock: unpreserve memory in case of error

2025-11-27T22:24:32+00:00

If there is an error half way through KHO memory preservation, we should rollback and unpreserve everything that is partially preserved.

kho: drop notifiers

2025-11-27T22:24:32+00:00

The KHO framework uses a notifier chain as the mechanism for clients to participate in the finalization process. While this works for a single, central state machine, it is too restrictive for kernel-internal components like pstore/reserve_mem or IMA. These components need a simpler, direct way to register their state for preservation (e.g., during their initcall) without being part of a complex, shutdown-time notifier sequence. The notifier model forces all participants into a single finalization flow and makes direct preservation from an arbitrary context difficult. This patch refactors the client participation model by removing the notifier chain and introducing a direct API for managing FDT subtrees. The core kho_finalize() and kho_abort() state machine remains, but clients now register their data with KHO beforehand.

memblock: fix memblock_estimated_nr_free_pages() for soft-reserved memory

2025-11-11T16:15:35+00:00

memblock_estimated_nr_free_pages() returns the difference between the total size of the "memory" memblock type and the "reserved" memblock type. The "soft-reserved" memory regions are added to the "reserved" memblock type, but not to the "memory" memblock type. Therefore, memblock_estimated_nr_free_pages() may return a smaller value than expected, or if it underflows, an extremely large value. /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max is determined by the value of memblock_estimated_nr_free_pages(). This issue was discovered on machines with CXL memory because kernel.threads-max was either smaller than expected or extremely large for the installed DRAM size. This fixes the issue by replacing memblock_reserved_size() with memblock_reserved_kern_size() that tells how much memory was reserved from the actual RAM.

Expand their kernel doc to make it clear that the user of MEMBLOCK_RSRV_NOINIT is responsible to properly initialize the struct pages for such regions and add more details about effects of using this flag.

memblock: add KHO support for reserve_mem

2025-05-13T06:50:42+00:00

Linux has recently gained support for "reserve_mem": A mechanism to allocate a region of memory early enough in boot that we can cross our fingers and hope it stays at the same location during most boots, so we can store for example ftrace buffers into it. Thanks to KASLR, we can never be really sure that "reserve_mem" allocations are static across kexec. Let's teach it KHO awareness so that it serializes its reservations on kexec exit and deserializes them again on boot, preserving the exact same mapping across kexec. This is an example user for KHO in the KHO patch set to ensure we have at least one (not very controversial) user in the tree before extending KHO's use to more subsystems.

kexec: add KHO parsing support

2025-05-13T06:50:39+00:00

When we have a KHO kexec, we get an FDT blob and scratch region to populate the state of the system. Provide helper functions that allow architecture code to easily handle memory reservations based on them and give device drivers visibility into the KHO FDT and memory reservations so they can recover their own state.
