Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:
- Welcome new BPF maintainers: Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Eduard
Zingerman while Martin KaFai Lau reduced his load to Reviwer.
- Lots of fixes everywhere from many first time contributors. Thank you
All.
- Diff stat is dominated by mechanical split of verifier.c into
multiple components:
- backtrack.c: backtracking logic and jump history
- states.c: state equivalence
- cfg.c: control flow graph, postorder, strongly connected
components
- liveness.c: register and stack liveness
- fixups.c: post-verification passes: instruction patching, dead
code removal, bpf_loop inlining, finalize fastcall
8k line were moved. verifier.c still stands at 20k lines.
Further refactoring is planned for the next release.
- Replace dynamic stack liveness with static stack liveness based on
data flow analysis.
This improved the verification time by 2x for some programs and
equally reduced memory consumption. New logic is in liveness.c and
supported by constant folding in const_fold.c (Eduard Zingerman,
Alexei Starovoitov)

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. This prevents confusion with the errno reserved by the
module loader to indicate that a module is already loaded.
- Simplify the warning message and drop the stack dump on positive
returns from module_init().
- Drop unnecessary extern keywords from function declarations and
synchronize parse_args() arguments with their implementation"

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

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
- Migrate more hash algorithms from the traditional crypto subsystem to
lib/crypto/
Like the algorithms migrated earlier (e.g. SHA-*), this simplifies
the implementations, improves performance, enables further
simplifications in calling code, and solves various other issues:
- AES CBC-based MACs (AES-CMAC, AES-XCBC-MAC, and AES-CBC-MAC)
- Support these algorithms in lib/crypto/ using the AES library
and the existing arm64 assembly code
- Reimplement the traditional crypto API's "cmac(aes)",
"xcbc(aes)", and "cbcmac(aes)" on top of the library
- Convert mac80211 to use the AES-CMAC library. Note: several
other subsystems can use it too and will be converted later
- Drop the broken, nonstandard, and likely unused support for
"xcbc(aes)" with key lengths other than 128 bits
- Enable optimizations by default
- GHASH
- Migrate the standalone GHASH code into lib/crypto/
- Integrate the GHASH code more closely with the very similar
POLYVAL code, and improve the generic GHASH implementation to
resist cache-timing attacks and use much less memory
- Reimplement the AES-GCM library and the "gcm" crypto_aead
template on top of the GHASH library. Remove "ghash" from the
crypto_shash API, as it's no longer needed
- Enable optimizations by default
- SM3
- Migrate the kernel's existing SM3 code into lib/crypto/, and
reimplement the traditional crypto API's "sm3" on top of it
- I don't recommend using SM3, but this cleanup is worthwhile
to organize the code the same way as other algorithms
- Testing improvements:
- Add a KUnit test suite for each of the new library APIs
- Migrate the existing ChaCha20Poly1305 test to KUnit
- Make the KUnit all_tests.config enable all crypto library tests
- Move the test kconfig options to the Runtime Testing menu
- Other updates to arch-optimized crypto code:
- Optimize SHA-256 for Zhaoxin CPUs using the Padlock Hash Engine
- Remove some MD5 implementations that are no longer worth keeping
- Drop big endian and voluntary preemption support from the arm64
code, as those configurations are no longer supported on arm64

"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Bump the minimum Rust version to 1.85.0 (and 'bindgen' to 0.71.1).
As proposed in LPC 2025 and the Maintainers Summit [1], we are
going to follow Debian Stable's Rust versions as our minimum
versions.
Debian Trixie was released on 2025-08-09 with a Rust 1.85.0 and
'bindgen' 0.71.1 toolchain, which is a fair amount of time for e.g.
kernel developers to upgrade.
Other major distributions support a Rust version that is high
enough as well, including:
+ Arch Linux.
+ Fedora Linux.
+ Gentoo Linux.
+ Nix.
+ openSUSE Slowroll and openSUSE Tumbleweed.
+ Ubuntu 25.10 and 26.04 LTS. In addition, 24.04 LTS using
their versioned packages.
The merged patch series comes with the associated cleanups and
simplifications treewide that can be performed thanks to both
bumps, as well as documentation updates.
In addition, start using 'bindgen''s '--with-attribute-custom-enum'
feature to set the 'cfi_encoding' attribute for the 'lru_status'
enum used in Binder.

- Add experimental Kconfig option ('CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS') that
inlines C helpers into Rust.
Essentially, it performs a step similar to LTO, but just for the
helpers, i.e. very local and fast.
It relies on 'llvm-link' and its '--internalize' flag, and requires
a compatible LLVM between Clang and 'rustc' (i.e. same major
version, 'CONFIG_RUSTC_CLANG_LLVM_COMPATIBLE'). It is only enabled
for two architectures for now.
The result is a measurable speedup in different workloads that
different users have tested. For instance, for the null block
driver, it amounts to a 2%.
- Support global per-version flags.
While we already have per-version flags in many places, we didn't
have a place to set global ones that depend on the compiler
version, i.e. in 'rust_common_flags', which sometimes is needed to
e.g. tweak the lints set per version.
Use that to allow the 'clippy::precedence' lint for Rust < 1.86.0,
since it had a change in behavior.
- Support overriding the crate name and apply it to Rust Binder,
which wanted the module to be called 'rust_binder'.
- Add the remaining '__rust_helper' annotations (started in the
previous cycle).
'kernel' crate:
- Introduce the 'const_assert!' macro: a more powerful version of
'static_assert!' that can refer to generics inside functions or
implementation bodies, e.g.:
fn f<const N: usize>() {
const_assert!(N > 1);
}
fn g<T>() {
const_assert!(size_of::<T>() > 0, "T cannot be ZST");
}
In addition, reorganize our set of build-time assertion macros
('{build,const,static_assert}!') to live in the 'build_assert'
module.
Finally, improve the docs as well to clarify how these are
different from one another and how to pick the right one to use,
and their equivalence (if any) to the existing C ones for extra
clarity.
- 'sizes' module: add 'SizeConstants' trait.
This gives us typed 'SZ_*' constants (avoiding casts) for use in
device address spaces where the address width depends on the
hardware (e.g. 32-bit MMIO windows, 64-bit GPU framebuffers, etc.),
e.g.:
let gpu_heap = 14 * u64::SZ_1M;
let mmio_window = u32::SZ_16M;
- 'clk' module: implement 'Send' and 'Sync' for 'Clk' and thus
simplify the users in Tyr and PWM.
- 'ptr' module: add 'const_align_up'.
- 'str' module: improve the documentation of the 'c_str!' macro to
explain that one should only use it for non-literal cases (for the
other case we instead use C string literals, e.g. 'c"abc"').
- Disallow the use of 'CStr::{as_ptr,from_ptr}' and clean one such
use in the 'task' module.
- 'sync' module: finish the move of 'ARef' and 'AlwaysRefCounted'
outside of the 'types' module, i.e. update the last remaining
instances and finally remove the re-exports.
- 'error' module: clarify that 'from_err_ptr' can return 'Ok(NULL)',
including runtime-tested examples.
The intention is to hopefully prevent UB that assumes the result of
the function is not 'NULL' if successful. This originated from a
case of UB I noticed in 'regulator' that created a 'NonNull' on it.
Timekeeping:
- Expand the example section in the 'HrTimer' documentation.
- Mark the 'ClockSource' trait as unsafe to ensure valid values for
'ktime_get()'.
- Add 'Delta::from_nanos()'.
'pin-init' crate:
- Replace the 'Zeroable' impls for 'Option<NonZero*>' with impls of
'ZeroableOption' for 'NonZero*'.
- Improve feature gate handling for unstable features.
- Declutter the documentation of implementations of 'Zeroable' for
tuples.
- Replace uses of 'addr_of[_mut]!' with '&raw [mut]'.
rust-analyzer:
- Add type annotations to 'generate_rust_analyzer.py'.
- Add support for scripts written in Rust ('generate_rust_target.rs',
'rustdoc_test_builder.rs', 'rustdoc_test_gen.rs').
- Refactor 'generate_rust_analyzer.py' to explicitly identify host
and target crates, improve readability, and reduce duplication.
And some other fixes, cleanups and improvements"

Currently checksyscalls.sh is unconditionally executed during each build.
Most of these executions are unnecessary.
Only run checksyscalls.sh if one of its inputs have changed.
This new logic does not work for the multiple invocations done for MIPS.
The effect is that checksyscalls.sh is still executed unconditionally.
However this is not worse than before.

Currently you cannot filter out the crate-name argument
RUSTFLAGS_REMOVE_stem.o because the Rust filter-out invocation does not
include that particular argument. Since --crate-name is an argument that
can't be passed multiple times, this means that it's currently not
possible to override the crate name. Thus, remove the --crate-name
argument for drivers. This allows them to override the crate name using
the #![crate_name] annotation.
This affects symbol names, but has no effect on the filenames of object
files and other things generated by the build, as we always use --emit
with a fixed output filename.
The --crate-name argument is kept for the crates under rust/ for
simplicity and to avoid changing many of them by adding #![crate_name].
The rust analyzer script is updated to use rustc to obtain the crate
name of the driver crates, which picks up the right name whether it is
configured via #![crate_name] or not. For readability, the logic to
invoke 'rustc' is extracted to its own function.
Note that the crate name in the python script is not actually that
important - the only place where the name actually affects anything is
in the 'deps' array which specifies an index and name for each
dependency, and determines what that dependency is called in *this*
crate. (The same crate may be called different things in each
dependency.) Since driver crates are leaf crates, this doesn't apply and
the rustc invocation only affects the 'display_name' parameter.

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.

A new experimental Kconfig option, `RUST_INLINE_HELPERS` is added to
allow C helpers (which were created to allow Rust to call into
inline/macro C functions without having to re-implement the logic in
Rust) to be inlined into Rust crates without performing global LTO.
If the option is enabled, the following is performed:
* For helpers, instead of compiling them to an object file to be linked
into vmlinux, they're compiled to LLVM IR bitcode. Two versions are
generated: one for built-in code (`helpers.bc`) and one for modules
(`helpers_module.bc`, with -DMODULE defined). This ensures that C
macros/inlines that behave differently for modules (e.g. static calls)
function correctly when inlined.
* When a Rust crate or object is compiled, instead of generating an
object file, LLVM bitcode is generated.
* llvm-link is invoked with --internalize to combine the helper bitcode
with the crate bitcode. This step is similar to LTO, but this is much
faster since it only needs to inline the helpers.
* clang is invoked to turn the combined bitcode into a final object file.
* Since clang may produce LLVM bitcode when LTO is enabled, and objtool
requires ELF input, $(cmd_ld_single) is invoked to ensure the object
is converted to ELF before objtool runs.
The --internalize flag tells llvm-link to treat all symbols in
helpers.bc using `internal` linkage [1]. This matches the behavior of
`clang` on `static inline` functions, and avoids exporting the symbol
from the object file.
To ensure that RUST_INLINE_HELPERS is not incompatible with BTF, we pass
the -g0 flag when building helpers. See commit 5daa0c35a1 ("rust:
Disallow BTF generation with Rust + LTO") for details.
We have an intended triple mismatch of `aarch64-unknown-none` vs
`aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu`, so we pass --suppress-warnings to llvm-link
to suppress it.
I considered adding some sort of check that KBUILD_MODNAME is not
present in helpers_module.bc, but this is actually not so easy to carry
out because .bc files store strings in a weird binary format, so you
cannot just grep it for a string to check whether it ended up using
KBUILD_MODNAME anywhere.

if they think it is worth it.
- Gated the `cmd_ld_single` step also into the new mode, which also
means that any possible future `objcopy` step is done after the
translation, as expected.
- Added `.gitignore` for `.bc` with exception for existing script.
- Added `part-of-*` for helpers bitcode files as discussed, and
dropped `$(if $(filter %_module.bc,$@),-DMODULE)` since `-DMODULE`

The macro is a more powerful version of `static_assert!` for use inside
function contexts. This is powered by inline consts, so enable the feature
for old compiler versions that does not have it stably.
While it is possible already to write `const { assert!(...) }`, this
provides a short hand that is more uniform with other assertions. It also
formats nicer with rustfmt where it will not be formatted into multiple
lines.
Two users that would route via the Rust tree are converted.
