2025-03-16mm/hugetlb: add hugetlb_cma_only cmdline optionFrank van der Linden
Add an option to force hugetlb gigantic pages to be allocated using CMA only (if hugetlb_cma is enabled). This avoids a fallback to allocation from the rest of system memory if the CMA allocation fails. This makes the size of hugetlb_cma a hard upper boundary for gigantic hugetlb page allocations. This is useful because, with a large CMA area, the kernel's unmovable allocations will have less room to work with and it is undesirable for new hugetlb gigantic page allocations to be done from that remaining area. It will eat in to the space available for unmovable allocations, leading to unwanted system behavior (OOMs because the kernel fails to do unmovable allocations). So, with this enabled, an administrator can force a hard upper bound for runtime gigantic page allocations, and have more predictable system behavior.

2025-03-16mm/hugetlb: convert cmdline parameters from setup to earlyFrank van der Linden
Convert the cmdline parameters (hugepagesz, hugepages, default_hugepagesz and hugetlb_free_vmemmap) to early parameters. Since parse_early_param might run before MMU setups on some platforms (powerpc), validation of huge page sizes as specified in command line parameters would fail. So instead, for the hstate-related values, just record the them and parse them on demand, from hugetlb_bootmem_alloc. The allocation of hugetlb bootmem pages is now done in hugetlb_bootmem_alloc, which is called explicitly at the start of mm_core_init(). core_initcall would be too late, as that happens with memblock already torn down. This change will allow earlier allocation and initialization of bootmem hugetlb pages later on. No functional change intended.

2025-03-03x86/bugs: Make spectre user default depend on MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2Breno Leitao
Change the default value of spectre v2 in user mode to respect the CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2 config option. Currently, user mode spectre v2 is set to auto (SPECTRE_V2_USER_CMD_AUTO) by default, even if CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2 is disabled. Set the spectre_v2 value to auto (SPECTRE_V2_USER_CMD_AUTO) if the Spectre v2 config (CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2) is enabled, otherwise set the value to none (SPECTRE_V2_USER_CMD_NONE). Important to say the command line argument "spectre_v2_user" overwrites the default value in both cases. When CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2 is not set, users have the flexibility to opt-in for specific mitigations independently. In this scenario, setting spectre_v2= will not enable spectre_v2_user=, and command line options spectre_v2_user and spectre_v2 are independent when CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2=n.

With the maximum amount of RAM now 4GB, there is very little point to still have PTE pages in highmem. Drop this for simplification.

2025-02-27x86/smp: Drop 32-bit "bigsmp" machine supportArnd Bergmann
The x86-32 kernel used to support multiple platforms with more than eight logical CPUs, from the 1999-2003 timeframe: Sequent NUMA-Q, IBM Summit, Unisys ES7000 and HP F8. Support for all except the latter was dropped back in 2014, leaving only the F8 based DL740 and DL760 G2 machines in this catery, with up to eight single-core Socket-603 Xeon-MP processors with hyperthreading. Like the already removed machines, the HP F8 servers at the time cost upwards of $100k in typical configurations, but were quickly obsoleted by their 64-bit Socket-604 cousins and the AMD Opteron. Earlier servers with up to 8 Pentium Pro or Xeon processors remain fully supported as they had no hyperthreading. Similarly, the more common 4-socket Xeon-MP machines with hyperthreading using Intel or ServerWorks chipsets continue to work without this, and all the multi-core Xeon processors also run 64-bit kernels. While the "bigsmp" support can also be used to run on later 64-bit machines (including VM guests), it seems best to discourage that and get any remaining users to update their kernels to 64-bit builds on these. As a side-effect of this, there is also no more need to support NUMA configurations on 32-bit x86, as all true 32-bit NUMA platforms are already gone.

2025-02-25tracing: Add traceoff_after_boot optionSteven Rostedt
Sometimes tracing is used to debug issues during the boot process. Since the trace buffer has a limited amount of storage, it may be prudent to disable tracing after the boot is finished, otherwise the critical information may be overwritten. With this option, the main tracing buffer will be turned off at the end of the boot process.

Capacity-aware scheduling (CAS) is enabled by default by intel_pstate on hybrid systems without SMT, but in some usage scenarios it may be more attractive to place tasks for maximum CPU performance regardless of the extra cost in terms of energy, which is the case on such systems when CAS is not enabled, so introduce a command line option to forbid intel_pstate to enable CAS.

2025-02-05rcutorture: Add a test_boost_holdoff module parameterPaul E. McKenney
This commit adds a test_boost_holdoff module parameter that tells the RCU priority-boosting tests to wait for the specified number of seconds past the start of the rcutorture test. This can be useful when rcutorture is built into the kernel (as opposed to being modprobed), especially on large systems where early start of RCU priority boosting can delay the boot sequence, which adds a full CPU's worth of load onto the system. This can in turn result in pointless stall warnings. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>
2025-02-03ata: libata-core: Add 'external' to the libata.force kernel parameterNiklas Cassel
Commit ae1f3db006b7 ("ata: ahci: do not enable LPM on external ports") changed so that LPM is not enabled on external ports (hotplug-capable or eSATA ports). This is because hotplug and LPM are mutually exclusive, see 7.3.1 Hot Plug Removal Detection and Power Management Interaction in AHCI 1.3.1. This does require that firmware has set the appropate bits (HPCP or ESP) in PxCMD (which is a per port register in the AHCI controller). If the firmware has failed to mark a port as hotplug-capable or eSATA in PxCMD, then there is currently not much a user can do. If LPM is enabled on the port, hotplug insertions and removals will not be detected on that port. In order to allow a user to fix up broken firmware, add 'external' to the libata.force kernel parameter. libata.force can be specified either on the kernel command line, or as a kernel module parameter.

2025-01-25mm: add build-time option for hotplug memory default online typeGregory Price
Memory hotplug presently auto-onlines memory into a zone the kernel deems appropriate if CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE=y. The memhp_default_state boot param enables runtime config, but it's not possible to do this at build-time. Remove CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE, and replace it with CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_* choices that sync with the boot param. Selections: CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_OFFLINE => mhp_default_online_type = "offline" Memory will not be onlined automatically. CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_AUTO => mhp_default_online_type = "online" Memory will be onlined automatically in a zone deemed. appropriate by the kernel. CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_KERNEL => mhp_default_online_type = "online_kernel" Memory will be onlined automatically. The zone may allow kernel data (e.g. ZONE_NORMAL). CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_MOVABLE => mhp_default_online_type = "online_movable" Memory will be onlined automatically. The zone will be ZONE_MOVABLE. Default to CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_OFFLINE to match the existing default CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE=n behavior. Existing users of CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE=y should use CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_AUTO.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free memory when the function exits. - Update the Rust tracepoint code to use the C code too There was some duplication of the tracepoint code for Rust that did the same logic as the C code. Add a helper that makes it possible for both algorithms to use the same logic in one place. - Add poll to trace event hist files It is useful to know when an event is triggered, or even with some filtering. Since hist files of events get updated when active and the event is triggered, allow applications to poll the hist file and wake up when an event is triggered. This will let the application know that the event it is waiting for happened. - Add :mod: command to enable events for current or future modules The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter. That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently events do not have that feature. Add the command where if ':mod:<module>' is written into set_event, then either all the modules events are enabled if it is loaded, or cache it so that the module's events are enabled when it is loaded. This also works from the kernel command line, where "trace_event=:mod:<module>", when the module is loaded at boot up, its events will be enabled then. * tag 'trace-v6.14-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (26 commits) tracing: Fix output of set_event for some cached module events tracing: Fix allocation of printing set_event file content tracing: Rename update_cache() to update_mod_cache() tracing: Fix #if CONFIG_MODULES to #ifdef CONFIG_MODULES selftests/ftrace: Add test that tests event :mod: commands tracing: Cache ":mod:" events for modules not loaded yet tracing: Add :mod: command to enabled module events selftests/tracing: Add hist poll() support test tracing/hist: Support POLLPRI event for poll on histogram tracing/hist: Add poll(POLLIN) support on hist file tracing: Fix using ret variable in tracing_set_tracer() tracepoint: Reduce duplication of __DO_TRACE_CALL tracing/string: Create and use __free(argv_free) in trace_dynevent.c tracing: Switch trace_stat.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_stack.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_osnoise.c code over to use guard() and __free() tracing: Switch trace_events_synth.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_events_filter.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_events_trigger.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_events_hist.c code over to use guard() ...

2025-01-21Documentation: Fix pci=config_acs= exampleAkihiko Odaki
The documentation currently says: config_acs= Format: <ACS flags>@<pci_dev>[; ...] Specify one or more PCI devices (in the format specified above) optionally prepended with flags and separated by semicolons. The respective capabilities will be enabled, disabled or unchanged based on what is specified in flags. (...) For example, pci=config_acs=10x would configure all devices that support ACS to enable P2P Request Redirect, disable Translation Blocking, and leave Source Validation unchanged from whatever power-up or firmware set it to. See the complete documentation at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html However, a flag specification always needs to be suffixed with "@" and a PCI valid device address, which is missing in this example. Also, to configure all devices that support ACS, the flag needs to be suffixed with "@pci:0:0", for the ACS support to be enabled. Fix the documentation so the example is correct.

2025-01-16tracing: Cache ":mod:" events for modules not loaded yetSteven Rostedt
When the :mod: command is written into /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event (or that file within an instance), if the module specified after the ":mod:" is not yet loaded, it will store that string internally. When the module is loaded, it will enable the events as if the module was loaded when the string was written into the set_event file. This can also be useful to enable events that are in the init section of the module, as the events are enabled before the init section is executed. This also works on the kernel command line: trace_event=:mod:<module> Will enable the events for <module> when it is loaded.

2025-01-13mm: shmem: add a kernel command line to change the default huge policy for tmpfsBaolin Wang
Now the tmpfs can allow to allocate any sized large folios, and the default huge policy is still preferred to be 'never'. Due to tmpfs not behaving like other file systems in some cases as previously explained by David[1]: : I think I raised this in the past, but tmpfs/shmem is just like any : other file system .. except it sometimes really isn't and behaves much : more like (swappable) anonymous memory. (or mlocked files) : : There are many systems out there that run without swap enabled, or with : extremely minimal swap (IIRC until recently kubernetes was completely : incompatible with swapping). Swap can even be disabled today for shmem : using a mount option. : : That's a big difference to all other file systems where you are : guaranteed to have backend storage where you can simply evict under : memory pressure (might temporarily fail, of course). : : I *think* that's the reason why we have the "huge=" parameter that also : controls the THP allocations during page faults (IOW possible memory : over-allocation). Maybe also because it was a new feature, and we only : had a single THP size. Thus adding a new command line to change the default huge policy will be helpful to use the large folios for tmpfs, which is similar to the 'transparent_hugepage_shmem' cmdline for shmem.

2024-12-14rcutorture: Add parameters to control polled/conditional wait intervalPaul E. McKenney
This commit adds rcutorture module parameters gp_cond_wi, gp_cond_wi_exp, gp_poll_wi, and gp_poll_wi_exp to control the wait interval for conditional, conditional expedited, polled, and polled expedited grace periods, respectively. When rcu_torture_writer() is testing these types of grace periods, hrtimers are used to randomly wait up to the specified number of microseconds, but with nanosecond granularity. In the case of conditional grace periods (get_state_synchronize_rcu() and cond_synchronize_rcu(), for example) there is just one wait. For polled grace periods (start_poll_synchronize_rcu() and poll_state_synchronize_rcu(), for example), there is a repeated series of waits until the grace period ends. For normal grace periods, the default is 16 jiffies (for example, 16,000 microseconds on a HZ=1000 system) and for expedited grace periods the default is 128 microseconds. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Detect some Thunderbolt chips that are built-in and hence 'trustworthy' by a heuristic since the 'ExternalFacingPort' and 'usb4-host-interface' ACPI properties are not quite enough (Esther Shimanovich) Resource management: - Use PCI bus addresses (not CPU addresses) in 'ranges' properties when building dynamic DT nodes so systems where PCI and CPU addresses differ work correctly (Andrea della Porta) - Tidy resource sizing and assignment with helpers to reduce redundancy (Ilpo Järvinen) - Improve pdev_sort_resources() 'bogus alignment' warning to be more specific (Ilpo Järvinen) Driver binding: - Convert driver .remove_new() callbacks to .remove() again to finish the conversion from returning 'int' to being 'void' (Sergio Paracuellos) -

Simplify cpqphp enumeration, which is already simple-minded and doesn't handle devices below hot-added bridges (Ilpo Järvinen) Virtualization: - Add ACS quirk for Wangxun FF5xxx NICs, which don't advertise an ACS capability but do isolate functions as though PCI_ACS_RR and PCI_ACS_CR were set, so the functions can be in independent IOMMU groups (Mengyuan Lou) TLP Processing Hints (TPH): - Add and document TLP Processing Hints (TPH) support so drivers can enable and disable TPH and the kernel can save/restore TPH configuration (Wei Huang) - Add TPH Steering Tag support so drivers can retrieve Steering Tag values associated with specific CPUs via an ACPI _DSM to improve performance by directing DMA writes closer to their consumers (Wei Huang) Data Object Exchange (DOE): - Wait up to 1 second for DOE Busy bit to clear before writing a request to the mailbox to avoid failures if the mailbox is still busy from a previous transfer (Gregory Price) Endpoint framework: - Skip attempts to allocate from endpoint controller memory window if the requested size is larger than the window (Damien Le Moal) -

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: "The most significant set of changes is the per netns RTNL. The new behavior is disabled by default, regression risk should be contained. Notably the new config knob PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK will inherit its default value from PTP_1588_CLOCK_KVM, as the first is intended to be a more reliable replacement for the latter. Core: - Started a very large, in-progress, effort to make the RTNL lock scope per network-namespace, thus reducing the lock contention significantly in the containerized use-case, comprising: - RCU-ified some relevant slices of the FIB control path - introduce basic per netns locking helpers - namespacified the IPv4 address hash table - remove rtnl_register{,_module}() in favour of rtnl_register_many() - refactor rtnl_{new,del,set}link() moving as much validation as possible out of RTNL lock - convert all phonet doit() and dumpit() handlers to RCU - convert IPv4 addresses manipulation to per-netns RTNL - convert virtual interface creation to per-netns RTNL the per-netns lock infrastructure is guarded by the CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL knob, disabled by default ad interim. - Introduce NAPI suspension, to efficiently switching between busy polling (NAPI processing suspended) and normal processing. - Migrate the IPv4 routing input, output and control path from direct ToS usage to DSCP macros. This is a work in progress to make ECN handling consistent and reliable. - Add drop reasons support to the IPv4 rotue input path, allowing better introspection in case of packets drop. - Make FIB seqnum lockless, dropping RTNL protection for read access. - Make inet{,v6} addresses hashing less predicable. - Allow providing timestamp OPT_ID via cmsg, to correlate TX packets and timestamps Things we sprinkled into general kernel code: - Add small file operations for debugfs, to reduce the struct ops size. - Refactoring and optimization for the implementation of page_frag API, This is a preparatory work to consolidate the page_frag implementation. Netfilter: - Optimize set element transactions to reduce memory consumption - Extended netlink error reporting for attribute parser failure. - Make legacy xtables configs user selectable, giving users the option to configure iptables without enabling any other config. - Address a lot of false-positive RCU issues, pointed by recent CI improvements. BPF: - Put xsk sockets on a struct diet and add various cleanups. Overall, this helps to bump performance by 12% for some workloads. - Extend BPF selftests to increase coverage of XDP features in combination with BPF cpumap. - Optimize and homogenize bpf_csum_diff helper for all archs and also add a batch of new BPF selftests for it. - Extend netkit with an option to delegate skb->{mark,priority} scrubbing to its BPF program. - Make the bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper available also to tc(x) BPF programs. Protocols: - Introduces 4-tuple hash for connected udp sockets, speeding-up significantly connected sockets lookup. - Add a fastpath for some TCP timers that usually expires after close, the socket lock contention. - Add inbound and outbound xfrm state caches to speed up state lookups. - Avoid sending MPTCP advertisements on stale subflows, reducing risks on loosing them. - Make neighbours table flushing more scalable, maintaining per device neigh lists. Driver API: - Introduce a unified interface to configure transmission H/W shaping, and expose it to user-space via generic-netlink. - Add support for per-NAPI config via netlink.

2024-11-13tpm: Opt-in in disable PCR integrity protectionJarkko Sakkinen
The initial HMAC session feature added TPM bus encryption and/or integrity protection to various in-kernel TPM operations. This can cause performance bottlenecks with IMA, as it heavily utilizes PCR extend operations. In order to mitigate this performance issue, introduce a kernel command-line parameter to the TPM driver for disabling the integrity protection for PCR extend operations (i.e. TPM2_PCR_Extend).

2024-11-12net: Implement fault injection forcing skb reallocationBreno Leitao
Introduce a fault injection mechanism to force skb reallocation. The primary goal is to catch bugs related to pointer invalidation after potential skb reallocation. The fault injection mechanism aims to identify scenarios where callers retain pointers to various headers in the skb but fail to reload these pointers after calling a function that may reallocate the data. This type of bug can lead to memory corruption or crashes if the old, now-invalid pointers are used. By forcing reallocation through fault injection, we can stress-test code paths and ensure proper pointer management after potential skb reallocations. Add a hook for fault injection in the following functions: * pskb_trim_rcsum() * pskb_may_pull_reason() * pskb_trim() As the other fault injection mechanism, protect it under a debug Kconfig called CONFIG_FAIL_SKB_REALLOC. This patch was *heavily* inspired by Jakub's proposal from: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240719174140.47a868e6@kernel.org/ CC: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com> Suggested-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org> Reviewed-by: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Acked-by: Guillaume Nault <gnault@redhat.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20241107-fault_v6-v6-1-1b82cb6ecacd@debian.org Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
2024-11-11mm: shmem: override mTHP shmem default with a kernel parameterMaíra Canal
Add the ``thp_shmem=`` kernel command line to allow specifying the default policy of each supported shmem hugepage size. The kernel parameter accepts the following format: thp_shmem=<size>[KMG],<size>[KMG]:<policy>;<size>[KMG]-<size>[KMG]:<policy> For example, thp_shmem=16K-64K:always;128K,512K:inherit;256K:advise;1M-2M:never;4M-8M:within_size Some GPUs may benefit from using huge pages. Since DRM GEM uses shmem to allocate anonymous pageable memory, it's essential to control the huge page allocation policy for the internal shmem mount. This control can be achieved through the ``transparent_hugepage_shmem=`` parameter. Beyond just setting the allocation policy, it's crucial to have granular control over the size of huge pages that can be allocated. The GPU may support only specific huge page sizes, and allocating pages larger/smaller than those sizes would be ineffective.

2024-11-11mm: shmem: control THP support through the kernel command lineMaíra Canal
Patch series "mm: add more kernel parameters to control mTHP", v5. This series introduces four patches related to the kernel parameters controlling mTHP and a fifth patch replacing `strcpy()` for `strscpy()` in the file `mm/huge_memory.c`. The first patch is a straightforward documentation update, correcting the format of the kernel parameter ``thp_anon=``. The second, third, and fourth patches focus on controlling THP support for shmem via the kernel command line. The second patch introduces a parameter to control the global default huge page allocation policy for the internal shmem mount. The third patch moves a piece of code to a shared header to ease the implementation of the fourth patch. Finally, the fourth patch implements a parameter similar to ``thp_anon=``, but for shmem. The goal of these changes is to simplify the configuration of systems that rely on mTHP support for shmem. For instance, a platform with a GPU that benefits from huge pages may want to enable huge pages for shmem. Having these kernel parameters streamlines the configuration process and ensures consistency across setups. This patch (of 4): Add a new kernel command line to control the hugepage allocation policy for the internal shmem mount, ``transparent_hugepage_shmem``. The parameter is similar to ``transparent_hugepage`` and has the following format: transparent_hugepage_shmem=<policy> where ``<policy>`` is one of the seven valid policies available for shmem. Configuring the default huge page allocation policy for the internal shmem mount can be beneficial for DRM GPU drivers. Just as CPU architectures, GPUs can also take advantage of huge pages, but this is possible only if DRM GEM objects are backed by huge pages. Since GEM uses shmem to allocate anonymous pageable memory, having control over the default huge page allocation policy allows for the exploration of huge pages use on GPUs that rely on GEM objects backed by shmem.

2024-11-07mm: fix docs for the kernel parameter ``thp_anon=``Maíra Canal
If we add ``thp_anon=32,64K:always`` to the kernel command line, we will see the following error: [ 0.000000] huge_memory: thp_anon=32,64K:always: error parsing string, ignoring setting This happens because the correct format isn't ``thp_anon=<size>,<size>[KMG]:<state>```, as [KMG] must follow each number to especify its unit. So, the correct format is ``thp_anon=<size>[KMG],<size>[KMG]:<state>```. Therefore, adjust the documentation to reflect the correct format of the parameter ``thp_anon=``.
