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. After that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call overhead" - "lib/list_sort: Clean up list_sort() scheduling workarounds" (Kuan-Wei Chiu) Clean up this library code by removing a hacky thing which was added for UBIFS, which UBIFS doesn't actually need - "Fix bugs in extract_iter_to_sg()" (Christian Ehrhardt) Fix a few bugs in the scatterlist code, add in-kernel tests for the now-fixed bugs and fix a leak in the test itself - "kdump: Enable LUKS-encrypted dump target support in ARM64 and PowerPC" (Coiby Xu) Enable support of the LUKS-encrypted device dump target on arm64 and powerpc - "ocfs2: consolidate extent list validation into block read callbacks" (Joseph Qi) Cleanup, simplify, and make more robust ocfs2's validation of extent list fields (Kernel test robot loves mounting corrupted fs images!) * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2026-04-15-04-20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (127 commits) ocfs2: validate group add input before caching ocfs2: validate bg_bits during freefrag scan ocfs2: fix listxattr handling when the buffer is full doc: watchdog: fix typos etc update Sean's email address ocfs2: use get_random_u32() where appropriate ocfs2: split transactions in dio completion to avoid credit exhaustion ocfs2: remove redundant l_next_free_rec check in __ocfs2_find_path() ocfs2: validate extent block list fields during block read ocfs2: remove empty extent list check in ocfs2_dx_dir_lookup_rec() ocfs2: validate dx_root extent list fields during block read ocfs2: fix use-after-free in ocfs2_fault() when VM_FAULT_RETRY ocfs2: handle invalid dinode in ocfs2_group_extend .get_maintainer.ignore: add Askar ocfs2: validate bg_list extent bounds in discontig groups checkpatch: exclude forward declarations of const structs tools/accounting: handle truncated taskstats netlink messages taskstats: set version in TGID exit notifications ocfs2/heartbeat: fix slot mapping rollback leaks on error paths arm64,ppc64le/kdump: pass dm-crypt keys to kdump kernel ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/modules/linux Pull module updates from Sami Tolvanen: "Kernel symbol flags: - Replace the separate *_gpl symbol sections (__ksymtab_gpl and __kcrctab_gpl) with a unified symbol table and a new __kflagstab section. This section stores symbol flags, such as the GPL-only flag, as an 8-bit bitset for each exported symbol. This is a cleanup that simplifies symbol lookup in the module loader by avoiding table fragmentation and will allow a cleaner way to add more flags later if needed. Module signature UAPI: - Move struct module_signature to the UAPI headers to allow reuse by tools outside the kernel proper, such as kmod and scripts/sign-file. This also renames a few constants for clarity and drops unused signature types as preparation for hash-based module integrity checking work that's in progress. Sysfs: - Add a /sys/module/<module>/import_ns sysfs attribute to show the symbol namespaces imported by loaded modules. This makes it easier to verify driver API access at runtime on systems that care about such things (e.g. Android). Cleanups and fixes: - Force sh_addr to 0 for all sections in module.lds. This prevents non-zero section addresses when linking modules with 'ld.bfd -r', which confused elfutils. - Fix a memory leak of charp module parameters on module unload when the kernel is configured with CONFIG_SYSFS=n. - Override the -EEXIST error code returned by module_init() to userspace.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner: - A rework of the hrtimer subsystem to reduce the overhead for frequently armed timers, especially the hrtick scheduler timer: - Better timer locality decision - Simplification of the evaluation of the first expiry time by keeping track of the neighbor timers in the RB-tree by providing a RB-tree variant with neighbor links. That avoids walking the RB-tree on removal to find the next expiry time, but even more important allows to quickly evaluate whether a timer which is rearmed changes the position in the RB-tree with the modified expiry time or not. If not, the dequeue/enqueue sequence which both can end up in rebalancing can be completely avoided. - Deferred reprogramming of the underlying clock event device. This optimizes for the situation where a hrtimer callback sets the need resched bit. In that case the code attempts to defer the re-programming of the clock event device up to the point where the scheduler has picked the next task and has the next hrtick timer armed. In case that there is no immediate reschedule or soft interrupts have to be handled before reaching the reschedule point in the interrupt entry code the clock event is reprogrammed in one of those code paths to prevent that the timer becomes stale. - Support for clocksource coupled clockevents The TSC deadline timer is coupled to the TSC. The next event is programmed in TSC time. Currently this is done by converting the CLOCK_MONOTONIC based expiry value into a relative timeout, converting it into TSC ticks, reading the TSC adding the delta ticks and writing the deadline MSR. As the timekeeping core has the conversion factors for the TSC already, the whole back and forth conversion can be completely avoided. The timekeeping core calculates the reverse conversion factors from nanoseconds to TSC ticks and utilizes the base timestamps of TSC and CLOCK_MONOTONIC which are updated once per tick. This allows a direct conversion into the TSC deadline value without reading the time and as a bonus keeps the deadline conversion in sync with the TSC conversion factors, which are updated by adjtimex() on systems with NTP/PTP enabled. - Allow inlining of the clocksource read and clockevent write functions when they are tiny enough, e.g. on x86 RDTSC and WRMSR. With all those enhancements in place a hrtick enabled scheduler provides the same performance as without hrtick. But also other hrtimer users obviously benefit from these optimizations. - Robustness improvements and cleanups of historical sins in the hrtimer and timekeeping code. - Rewrite of the clocksource watchdog. The clocksource watchdog code has over time reached the state of an impenetrable maze of duct tape and staples. The original design, which was made in the context of systems far smaller than today, is based on the assumption that the to be monitored clocksource (TSC) can be trivially compared against a known to be stable clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM timer). Over the years this rather naive approach turned out to have major flaws. Long delays between the watchdog invocations can cause wrap arounds of the reference clocksource. The access to the reference clocksource degrades on large multi-sockets systems dure to interconnect congestion. This has been addressed with various heuristics which degraded the accuracy of the watchdog to the point that it fails to detect actual TSC problems on older hardware which exposes slow inter CPU drifts due to firmware manipulating the TSC to hide SMI time. The rewrite addresses this by: - Restricting the validation against the reference clocksource to the boot CPU which is usually closest to the legacy block which contains the reference clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM). - Do a round robin validation betwen the boot CPU and the other CPUs based only on the TSC with an algorithm similar to the TSC synchronization code during CPU hotplug. - Being more leniant versus remote timeouts - The usual tiny fixes, cleanups and enhancements all over the place * tag 'timers-core-2026-04-12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (75 commits) alarmtimer: Access timerqueue node under lock in suspend hrtimer: Fix incorrect #endif comment for BITS_PER_LONG check posix-timers: Fix stale function name in comment timers: Get this_cpu once while clearing the idle state clocksource: Rewrite watchdog code completely clocksource: Don't use non-continuous clocksources as watchdog x86/tsc: Handle CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES correctly MIPS: Don't select CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG parisc: Remove unused clocksource flags hrtimer: Add a helper to retrieve a hrtimer from its timerqueue node hrtimer: Remove trailing comma after HRTIMER_MAX_CLOCK_BASES hrtimer: Mark index and clockid of clock base as const hrtimer: Drop unnecessary pointer indirection in hrtimer_expire_entry event hrtimer: Drop spurious space in 'enum hrtimer_base_type' hrtimer: Don't zero-initialize ret in hrtimer_nanosleep() hrtimer: Remove hrtimer_get_expires_ns() timekeeping: Mark offsets array as const timekeeping/auxclock: Consistently use raw timekeeper for tk_setup_internals() timer_list: Print offset as signed integer tracing: Use explicit array size instead of sentinel elements in symbol printing ...

13 daysmm/mmu_gather: replace IPI with synchronize_rcu() when batch allocation failsLance Yang1-0/+4
When freeing page tables, we try to batch them. If batch allocation fails (GFP_NOWAIT), __tlb_remove_table_one() immediately frees the one without batching. On !CONFIG_PT_RECLAIM, the fallback sends an IPI to all CPUs via tlb_remove_table_sync_one(). It disrupts all CPUs even when only a single process is unmapping memory. IPI broadcast was reported to hurt RT workloads[1]. tlb_remove_table_sync_one() synchronizes with lockless page-table walkers (e.g. GUP-fast) that rely on IRQ disabling. These walkers use local_irq_disable(), which is also an RCU read-side critical section. This patch introduces tlb_remove_table_sync_rcu() which uses RCU grace period (synchronize_rcu()) instead of IPI broadcast. This provides the same guarantee as IPI but without disrupting all CPUs. Since batch allocation already failed, we are in a slow path where sleeping is acceptable - we are in process context (unmap_region, exit_mmap) with only mmap_lock held. tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is retained for other callers (e.g., khugepaged after pmdp_collapse_flush(), tlb_finish_mmu() when tlb->fully_unshared_tables) that are not slow paths. Converting those may require different approaches such as targeted IPIs.

Move the generic implementations from asm-generic/xor.h to per-implementaion .c files in lib/raid. This will build them unconditionally even when an architecture forces a specific implementation, but as we'll need at least one generic version for the static_call optimization later on we'll pay that price. Note that this would cause the second xor_block_8regs instance created by arch/arm/lib/xor-neon.c to be generated instead of discarded as dead code, so add a NO_TEMPLATE symbol to disable it for this case.

2026-04-01module: add kflagstab section to vmlinux and modulesSiddharth Nayyar1-0/+7
This patch introduces a __kflagstab section to store symbol flags in a dedicated data structure, similar to how CRCs are handled in the __kcrctab. The flags for a given symbol in __kflagstab will be located at the same index as the symbol's entry in __ksymtab and its CRC in __kcrctab. This design decouples the flags from the symbol table itself, allowing us to maintain a single, sorted __ksymtab. As a result, the symbol search remains an efficient, single lookup, regardless of the number of flags we add in the future. The motivation for this change comes from the Android kernel, which uses an additional symbol flag to restrict the use of certain exported symbols by unsigned modules, thereby enhancing kernel security. This __kflagstab can be implemented as a bitmap to efficiently manage which symbols are available for general use versus those restricted to signed modules only. This section will contain read-only data for values of kernel symbol flags in the form of an 8-bit bitsets for each kernel symbol. Each bit in the bitset represents a flag value defined by ksym_flags enumeration. Petr Pavlu ran a small test to get a better understanding of the different section sizes resulting from this patch series. He used v6.17-rc6 together with the openSUSE x86_64 config [1], which is fairly large. The resulting vmlinux.bin (no debuginfo) had an on-disk size of 58 MiB, and included 5937 + 6589 (GPL-only) exported symbols. The following table summarizes his measurements and calculations regarding the sizes of all sections related to exported symbols: | HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS | !HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS Section | Base [B] | Ext. [B] | Sep. [B] | Base [B] | Ext. [B] | Sep. [B] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- __ksymtab | 71244 | 200416 | 150312 | 142488 | 400832 | 300624 __ksymtab_gpl | 79068 | NA | NA | 158136 | NA | NA __kcrctab | 23748 | 50104 | 50104 | 23748 | 50104 | 50104 __kcrctab_gpl | 26356 | NA | NA | 26356 | NA | NA __ksymtab_strings | 253628 | 253628 | 253628 | 253628 | 253628 | 253628 __kflagstab | NA | NA | 12526 | NA | NA | 12526 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total | 454044 | 504148 | 466570 | 604356 | 704564 | 616882 Increase to base [%] | NA | 11.0 | 2.8 | NA | 16.6 | 2.1 The column "HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS -> Base" contains the measured numbers. The rest of the values are calculated. The "Ext." column represents an alternative approach of extending __ksymtab to include a bitset of symbol flags, and the "Sep." column represents the approach of having a separate __kflagstab. With HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS, each kernel_symbol is 12 B in size and is extended to 16 B. With !HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS, it is 24 B, extended to 32 B. Note that this does not include the metadata needed to relocate __ksymtab*, which is freed after the initial processing. Adding __kflagstab as a separate section has a negligible impact, as expected. When extending __ksymtab (kernel_symbol) instead, the worst case with !HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS increases the export data size by 16.6%. Note that the larger increase in size for the latter approach is due to 4-byte alignment of kernel_symbol data structure, instead of 1-byte alignment for the flags bitset in __kflagstab in the former approach. Based on the above, it was concluded that introducing __kflagstab makes sense, as the added complexity is minimal over extending kernel_symbol, and there is overall simplification of symbol finding logic in the module loader.

When linking modules with ld.bfd -r, sections defined without an address inherit the location counter, resulting in non-zero sh_addr values in the .ko. Relocatable objects are expected to have sh_addr=0 for these sections and these non-zero addresses confuse elfutils and have been reported to cause segmentation faults in SystemTap [1]. Add the 0 address specifier to all sections in module.lds, including the .codetag.* sections via MOD_SEPARATE_CODETAG_SECTIONS macro.

The value of __BITS_PER_LONG from architecture-specific logic should always match the generic one if that is available. It should also match the actual C type 'long'. Mismatches can happen for example when building the compat vDSO. Either during the compilation, see commit 9a6d3ff10f7f ("arm64: uapi: Provide correct __BITS_PER_LONG for the compat vDSO"), or when running sparse when mismatched CHECKFLAGS are inherited from the kernel build. Add some consistency checks which detect such issues early and clearly. The kernel-internal BITS_PER_LONG is not checked as it is derived from CONFIG_64BIT and therefore breaks for the compat vDSO.

2026-02-27hrtimer: Push reprogramming timers into the interrupt return pathPeter Zijlstra1-1/+4
Currently hrtimer_interrupt() runs expired timers, which can re-arm themselves, after which it computes the next expiration time and re-programs the hardware. However, things like HRTICK, a highres timer driving preemption, cannot re-arm itself at the point of running, since the next task has not been determined yet. The schedule() in the interrupt return path will switch to the next task, which then causes a new hrtimer to be programmed. This then results in reprogramming the hardware at least twice, once after running the timers, and once upon selecting the new task. Notably, *both* events happen in the interrupt. By pushing the hrtimer reprogram all the way into the interrupt return path, it runs after schedule() picks the new task and the double reprogram can be avoided.

2026-02-26kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILSNathan Chancellor1-1/+3
Commit 3e86e4d74c04 ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390 and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader failing to load the compressed kernel [1]. Commit ddc6cbef3ef1 ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with commit d50f21091358 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition. Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has never been necessary in those uses.

2026-01-27atomic: specify alignment for atomic_t and atomic64_tFinn Thain1-1/+1
Some recent commits incorrectly assumed 4-byte alignment of locks. That assumption fails on Linux/m68k (and, interestingly, would have failed on Linux/cris also). The jump label implementation makes a similar alignment assumption. The expectation that atomic_t and atomic64_t variables will be naturally aligned seems reasonable, as indeed they are on 64-bit architectures. But atomic64_t isn't naturally aligned on csky, m68k, microblaze, nios2, openrisc and sh. Neither atomic_t nor atomic64_t are naturally aligned on m68k. This patch brings a little uniformity by specifying natural alignment for atomic types. One benefit is that atomic64_t variables do not get split across a page boundary. The cost is that some structs grow which leads to cache misses and wasted memory. See also, commit bbf2a330d92c ("x86: atomic64: The atomic64_t data type should be 8 bytes aligned on 32-bit too").

2026-01-27bpf: explicitly align bpf_res_spin_lockFinn Thain1-1/+1
Patch series "Align atomic storage", v7. This series adds the __aligned attribute to atomic_t and atomic64_t definitions in include/linux and include/asm-generic (respectively) to get natural alignment of both types on csky, m68k, microblaze, nios2, openrisc and sh. This series also adds Kconfig options to enable a new run-time warning to help reveal misaligned atomic accesses on platforms which don't trap that. The performance impact is expected to vary across platforms and workloads. The measurements I made on m68k show that some workloads run faster and others slower. This patch (of 4): Align bpf_res_spin_lock to avoid a BUILD_BUG_ON() when the alignment changes, as it will do on m68k when, in a subsequent patch, the minimum alignment of the atomic_t member of struct rqspinlock gets increased from 2 to 4. Drop the BUILD_BUG_ON() as it becomes redundant.

2026-01-23rqspinlock: Fix TAS fallback lock entry creationKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-1/+1
The TAS fallback can be invoked directly when queued spin locks are disabled, and through the slow path when paravirt is enabled for queued spin locks. In the latter case, the res_spin_lock macro will attempt the fast path and already hold the entry when entering the slow path. This will lead to creation of extraneous entries that are not released, which may cause false positives for deadlock detection. Fix this by always preceding invocation of the TAS fallback in every case with the grabbing of the held lock entry, and add a comment to make note of this.

2026-01-20mm/hugetlb: fix excessive IPI broadcasts when unsharing PMD tables using ↵David Hildenbrand (Red Hat)1-2/+75
mmu_gather As reported, ever since commit 1013af4f585f ("mm/hugetlb: fix huge_pmd_unshare() vs GUP-fast race") we can end up in some situations where we perform so many IPI broadcasts when unsharing hugetlb PMD page tables that it severely regresses some workloads. In particular, when we fork()+exit(), or when we munmap() a large area backed by many shared PMD tables, we perform one IPI broadcast per unshared PMD table. There are two optimizations to be had: (1) When we process (unshare) multiple such PMD tables, such as during exit(), it is sufficient to send a single IPI broadcast (as long as we respect locking rules) instead of one per PMD table. Locking prevents that any of these PMD tables could get reused before we drop the lock. (2) When we are not the last sharer (> 2 users including us), there is no need to send the IPI broadcast. The shared PMD tables cannot become exclusive (fully unshared) before an IPI will be broadcasted by the last sharer. Concurrent GUP-fast could walk into a PMD table just before we unshared it. It could then succeed in grabbing a page from the shared page table even after munmap() etc succeeded (and supressed an IPI). But there is not difference compared to GUP-fast just sleeping for a while after grabbing the page and re-enabling IRQs. Most importantly, GUP-fast will never walk into page tables that are no-longer shared, because the last sharer will issue an IPI broadcast. (if ever required, checking whether the PUD changed in GUP-fast after grabbing the page like we do in the PTE case could handle this) So let's rework PMD sharing TLB flushing + IPI sync to use the mmu_gather infrastructure so we can implement these optimizations and demystify the code at least a bit. Extend the mmu_gather infrastructure to be able to deal with our special hugetlb PMD table sharing implementation. To make initialization of the mmu_gather easier when working on a single VMA (in particular, when dealing with hugetlb), provide tlb_gather_mmu_vma(). We'll consolidate the handling for (full) unsharing of PMD tables in tlb_unshare_pmd_ptdesc() and tlb_flush_unshared_tables(), and track in "struct mmu_gather" whether we had (full) unsharing of PMD tables. Because locking is very special (concurrent unsharing+reuse must be prevented), we disallow deferring flushing to tlb_finish_mmu() and instead require an explicit earlier call to tlb_flush_unshared_tables(). From hugetlb code, we call huge_pmd_unshare_flush() where we make sure that the expected lock protecting us from concurrent unsharing+reuse is still held. Check with a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in tlb_finish_mmu() that tlb_flush_unshared_tables() was properly called earlier. Document it all properly. Notes about tlb_remove_table_sync_one() interaction with unsharing: There are two fairly tricky things: (1) tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is a NOP on architectures without CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE. Here, the assumption is that the previous TLB flush would send an IPI to all relevant CPUs. Careful: some architectures like x86 only send IPIs to all relevant CPUs when tlb->freed_tables is set. The relevant architectures should be selecting MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE, but x86 might not do that in stable kernels and it might have been problematic before this patch. Also, the arch flushing behavior (independent of IPIs) is different when tlb->freed_tables is set. Do we have to enlighten them to also take care of tlb->unshared_tables? So far we didn't care, so hopefully we are fine. Of course, we could be setting tlb->freed_tables as well, but that might then unnecessarily flush too much, because the semantics of tlb->freed_tables are a bit fuzzy. This patch changes nothing in this regard. (2) tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is not a NOP on architectures with CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE that actually don't need a sync. Take x86 as an example: in the common case (!pv, !X86_FEATURE_INVLPGB) we still issue IPIs during TLB flushes and don't actually need the second tlb_remove_table_sync_one(). This optimized can be implemented on top of this, by checking e.g., in tlb_remove_table_sync_one() whether we really need IPIs. But as described in (1), it really must honor tlb->freed_tables then to send IPIs to all relevant CPUs. Notes on TLB flushing changes: (1) Flushing for non-shared PMD tables We're converting from flush_hugetlb_tlb_range() to tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry(). Given that we properly initialize the MMU gather in tlb_gather_mmu_vma() to be hugetlb aware, similar to __unmap_hugepage_range(), that should be fine. (2) Flushing for shared PMD tables We're converting from various things (flush_hugetlb_tlb_range(), tlb_flush_pmd_range(), flush_tlb_range()) to tlb_flush_pmd_range(). tlb_flush_pmd_range() achieves the same that tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry() would achieve in these scenarios. Note that tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry() also calls __tlb_remove_tlb_entry(), however that is only implemented on powerpc, which does not support PMD table sharing. Similar to (1), tlb_gather_mmu_vma() should make sure that TLB flushing keeps on working as expected. Further, note that the ptdesc_pmd_pts_dec() in huge_pmd_share() is not a concern, as we are holding the i_mmap_lock the whole time, preventing concurrent unsharing. That ptdesc_pmd_pts_dec() usage will be removed separately as a cleanup later. There are plenty more cleanups to be had, but they have to wait until this is fixed.

If a tracepoint is defined but never used (TRACE_EVENT() created but no trace_<tracepoint>() called), it can take up to or more than 5K of memory each. This can add up as there are around a hundred unused tracepoints with various configs. That is 500K of wasted memory. Add a make build parameter of "UT=1" to have the build warn if an unused tracepoint is detected in the build. This allows detection of unused tracepoints to be upstream so that outreachy and the mentoring project can have new developers look for fixing them, without having these warnings suddenly show up when someone upgrades their kernel. When all known unused tracepoints are removed, then the "UT=1" build parameter can be removed and unused tracepoints will always warn. This will catch new unused tracepoints after the current ones have been removed. Summary: - Separate out elf functions from sorttable.c Move out the ELF parsing functions from sorttable.c so that the tracing tooling can use it. - Add a tracepoint verifier tool to the build process If "UT=1" is added to the kernel command line, any unused tracepoints will trigger a warning at build time. - Do not warn about unused tracepoints for tracepoints that are exported There are sever cases where a tracepoint is created by the kernel and used by modules. Since there's no easy way to detect if these are truly unused since the users are in modules, if a tracepoint is exported, assume it will eventually be used by a module. Note, there's not many exported tracepoints so this should not be a problem to ignore them. - Have building of modules also detect unused tracepoints Do not only check the main vmlinux for unused tracepoints, also check modules.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull rseq updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A large overhaul of the restartable sequences and CID management: The recent enablement of RSEQ in glibc resulted in regressions which are caused by the related overhead. It turned out that the decision to invoke the exit to user work was not really a decision. More or less each context switch caused that. There is a long list of small issues which sums up nicely and results in a 3-4% regression in I/O benchmarks. The other detail which caused issues due to extra work in context switch and task migration is the CID (memory context ID) management. It also requires to use a task work to consolidate the CID space, which is executed in the context of an arbitrary task and results in sporadic uncontrolled exit latencies. The rewrite addresses this by: - Removing deprecated and long unsupported functionality - Moving the related data into dedicated data structures which are optimized for fast path processing. - Caching values so actual decisions can be made - Replacing the current implementation with a optimized inlined variant. - Separating fast and slow path for architectures which use the generic entry code, so that only fault and error handling goes into the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME handler. - Rewriting the CID management so that it becomes mostly invisible in the context switch path. That moves the work of switching modes into the fork/exit path, which is a reasonable tradeoff. That work is only required when a process creates more threads than the cpuset it is allowed to run on or when enough threads exit after that. An artificial thread pool benchmarks which triggers this did not degrade, it actually improved significantly. The main effect in migration heavy scenarios is that runqueue lock held time and therefore contention goes down significantly" * tag 'core-rseq-2025-11-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (54 commits) sched/mmcid: Switch over to the new mechanism sched/mmcid: Implement deferred mode change irqwork: Move data struct to a types header sched/mmcid: Provide CID ownership mode fixup functions sched/mmcid: Provide new scheduler CID mechanism sched/mmcid: Introduce per task/CPU ownership infrastructure sched/mmcid: Serialize sched_mm_cid_fork()/exit() with a mutex sched/mmcid: Provide precomputed maximal value sched/mmcid: Move initialization out of line signal: Move MMCID exit out of sighand lock sched/mmcid: Convert mm CID mask to a bitmap cpumask: Cache num_possible_cpus() sched/mmcid: Use cpumask_weighted_or() cpumask: Introduce cpumask_weighted_or() sched/mmcid: Prevent pointless work in mm_update_cpus_allowed() sched/mmcid: Move scheduler code out of global header sched: Fixup whitespace damage sched/mmcid: Cacheline align MM CID storage sched/mmcid: Use proper data structures sched/mmcid: Revert the complex CID management ...
