8 dayspowerpc64/ftrace: workaround clang recording GEP in __patchable_function_entriesHari Bathini
Support for -fpatchable-function-entry on ppc64le was added in Clang with [1]. However, when no prefix NOPs are specified - as is the case with CONFIG_PPC_FTRACE_OUT_OF_LINE - the first NOP is emitted at LEP, but Clang records the Global Entry Point (GEP) unlike GCC which does record the Local Entry Point (LEP). Issue [2] has been raised to align Clang's behavior with GCC. As a temporary workaround to ensure ftrace initialization works as expected with Clang, derive the LEP using ppc_function_entry() for kernel symbols and by looking for the below module GEP sequence for module addresses, until [2] is resolved: ld r2, -8(r12) add r2, r2, r12 [1] https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/151569 [2] https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/163706 Signed-off-by: Hari Bathini <hbathini@linux.ibm.com> Tested-by: Venkat Rao Bagalkote <venkat88@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260127084926.34497-4-hbathini@linux.ibm.com

11 dayspowerpc/e500: Always use 64 bits PTEChristophe Leroy
Today there are two PTE formats for e500: - The 64 bits format, used - On 64 bits kernel - On 32 bits kernel with 64 bits physical addresses - On 32 bits kernel with support of huge pages - The 32 bits format, used in other cases Maintaining two PTE formats means unnecessary maintenance burden because every change needs to be implemented and tested for both formats. Remove the 32 bits PTE format. The memory usage increase due to larger PTEs is minimal (approx. 0,1% of memory). This also means that from now on huge pages are supported also with 32 bits physical addresses.

11 dayspowerpc/pci: Initialize msi_addr_mask for OF-created PCI devicesNilay Shroff
Recent changes replaced the use of no_64bit_msi with msi_addr_mask. As a result, msi_addr_mask is now expected to be initialized to DMA_BIT_MASK(64) when a pci_dev is set up. However, this initialization was missed on powerpc due to differences in the device initialization path compared to other (x86) architecture. Due to this, now PCI device probe method fails on powerpc system. On powerpc systems, struct pci_dev instances are created from device tree nodes via of_create_pci_dev(). Because msi_addr_mask was not initialized there, it remained zero. Later, during MSI setup, msi_verify_entries() validates the programmed MSI address against pdev->msi_addr_mask. Since the mask was not set correctly, the validation fails, causing PCI driver probe failures for devices on powerpc systems. Initialize pdev->msi_addr_mask to DMA_BIT_MASK(64) in of_create_pci_dev() so that MSI address validation succeeds and device probe works as expected.

2026-02-26kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILSNathan Chancellor
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.

2026-02-21Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argumentLinus Torvalds
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2026-02-21treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar typesKees Cook
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>

As this are scalar values __builtin_memcpy() turns them into simple loads and stores - Use __typeof_unqual__() for __unqual_scalar_typeof() The get/put_unaligned() changes triggered a new sparse warning when __beNN types are used with get/put_unaligned() as sparse builds add a special 'bitwise' attribute to them which prevents sparse to evaluate the Generic in __unqual_scalar_typeof(). Newer sparse versions support __typeof_unqual__() which avoids the problem, but requires a recent sparse install. So this adds a sanity check to sparse builds, which validates that sparse is available and capable of handling it. - Force inline __cvdso_clock_getres_common() Compilers sometimes un-inline agressively, which results in function call overhead and problems with automatic stack variable initialization.

2026-01-26mm, arch: consolidate hugetlb CMA reservationMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
Every architecture that supports hugetlb_cma command line parameter reserves CMA areas for hugetlb during setup_arch(). This obfuscates the ordering of hugetlb CMA initialization with respect to the rest initialization of the core MM. Introduce arch_hugetlb_cma_order() callback to allow architectures report the desired order-per-bit of CMA areas and provide a week implementation of arch_hugetlb_cma_order() for architectures that don't support hugetlb with CMA. Use this callback in hugetlb_cma_reserve() instead if passing the order as parameter and call hugetlb_cma_reserve() from mm_core_init_early() rather than have it spread over architecture specific code.

2026-01-22rseq: Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()Thomas Gleixner
Provide a new syscall which has the only purpose to yield the CPU after the kernel granted a time slice extension. sched_yield() is not suitable for that because it unconditionally schedules, but the end of the time slice extension is not required to schedule when the task was already preempted. This also allows to have a strict check for termination to catch user space invoking random syscalls including sched_yield() from a time slice extension region.

2026-01-20powerpc/64s: do not re-activate batched TLB flushAlexander Gordeev
Patch series "Nesting support for lazy MMU mode", v6. When the lazy MMU mode was introduced eons ago, it wasn't made clear whether such a sequence was legal: arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() ... arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() ... arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode() ... arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode() It seems fair to say that nested calls to arch_{enter,leave}_lazy_mmu_mode() were not expected, and most architectures never explicitly supported it. Nesting does in fact occur in certain configurations, and avoiding it has proved difficult. This series therefore enables lazy_mmu sections to nest, on all architectures. Nesting is handled using a counter in task_struct (patch 8), like other stateless APIs such as pagefault_{disable,enable}(). This is fully handled in a new generic layer in <linux/pgtable.h>; the arch_* API remains unchanged. A new pair of calls, lazy_mmu_mode_{pause,resume}(), is also introduced to allow functions that are called with the lazy MMU mode enabled to temporarily pause it, regardless of nesting. An arch now opts in to using the lazy MMU mode by selecting CONFIG_ARCH_LAZY_MMU; this is more appropriate now that we have a generic API, especially with state conditionally added to task_struct. This patch (of 14): Since commit b9ef323ea168 ("powerpc/64s: Disable preemption in hash lazy mmu mode") a task can not be preempted while in lazy MMU mode. Therefore, the batch re-activation code is never called, so remove it.

2026-01-08powerpc/eeh: fix recursive pci_lock_rescan_remove locking in EEH event handlingNarayana Murty N
The recent commit 1010b4c012b0 ("powerpc/eeh: Make EEH driver device hotplug safe") restructured the EEH driver to improve synchronization with the PCI hotplug layer. However, it inadvertently moved pci_lock_rescan_remove() outside its intended scope in eeh_handle_normal_event(), leading to broken PCI error reporting and improper EEH event triggering. Specifically, eeh_handle_normal_event() acquired pci_lock_rescan_remove() before calling eeh_pe_bus_get(), but eeh_pe_bus_get() itself attempts to acquire the same lock internally, causing nested locking and disrupting normal EEH event handling paths. This patch adds a boolean parameter do_lock to _eeh_pe_bus_get(), with two public wrappers: eeh_pe_bus_get() with locking enabled. eeh_pe_bus_get_nolock() that skips locking. Callers that already hold pci_lock_rescan_remove() now use eeh_pe_bus_get_nolock() to avoid recursive lock acquisition. Additionally, pci_lock_rescan_remove() calls are restored to the correct position—after eeh_pe_bus_get() and immediately before iterating affected PEs and devices. This ensures EEH-triggered PCI removes occur under proper bus rescan locking without recursive lock contention. The eeh_pe_loc_get() function has been split into two functions: eeh_pe_loc_get(struct eeh_pe *pe) which retrieves the loc for given PE. eeh_pe_loc_get_bus(struct pci_bus *bus) which retrieves the location code for given bus. This resolves lockdep warnings such as: <snip> [ 84.964298] [ T928] ============================================ [ 84.964304] [ T928] WARNING: possible recursive locking detected [ 84.964311] [ T928] 6.18.0-rc3 #51 Not tainted [ 84.964315] [ T928] -------------------------------------------- [ 84.964320] [ T928] eehd/928 is trying to acquire lock: [ 84.964324] [ T928] c000000003b29d58 (pci_rescan_remove_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: pci_lock_rescan_remove+0x28/0x40 [ 84.964342] [ T928] but task is already holding lock: [ 84.964347] [ T928] c000000003b29d58 (pci_rescan_remove_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: pci_lock_rescan_remove+0x28/0x40 [ 84.964357] [ T928] other info that might help us debug this: [ 84.964363] [ T928] Possible unsafe locking scenario: [ 84.964367] [ T928] CPU0 [ 84.964370] [ T928] ---- [ 84.964373] [ T928] lock(pci_rescan_remove_lock); [ 84.964378] [ T928] lock(pci_rescan_remove_lock); [ 84.964383] [ T928] *** DEADLOCK *** [ 84.964388] [ T928] May be due to missing lock nesting notation [ 84.964393] [ T928] 1 lock held by eehd/928: [ 84.964397] [ T928] #0: c000000003b29d58 (pci_rescan_remove_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: pci_lock_rescan_remove+0x28/0x40 [ 84.964408] [ T928] stack backtrace: [ 84.964414] [ T928] CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 928 Comm: eehd Not tainted 6.18.0-rc3 #51 VOLUNTARY [ 84.964417] [ T928] Hardware name: IBM,9080-HEX POWER10 (architected) 0x800200 0xf000006 of:IBM,FW1060.00 (NH1060_022) hv:phyp pSeries [ 84.964419] [ T928] Call Trace: [ 84.964420] [ T928] [c0000011a7157990] [c000000001705de4] dump_stack_lvl+0xc8/0x130 (unreliable) [ 84.964424] [ T928] [c0000011a71579d0] [c0000000002f66e0] print_deadlock_bug+0x430/0x440 [ 84.964428] [ T928] [c0000011a7157a70] [c0000000002fd0c0] __lock_acquire+0x1530/0x2d80 [ 84.964431] [ T928] [c0000011a7157ba0] [c0000000002fea54] lock_acquire+0x144/0x410 [ 84.964433] [ T928] [c0000011a7157cb0] [c0000011a7157cb0] __mutex_lock+0xf4/0x1050 [ 84.964436] [ T928] [c0000011a7157e00] [c000000000de21d8] pci_lock_rescan_remove+0x28/0x40 [ 84.964439] [ T928] [c0000011a7157e20] [c00000000004ed98] eeh_pe_bus_get+0x48/0xc0 [ 84.964442] [ T928] [c0000011a7157e50] [c000000000050434] eeh_handle_normal_event+0x64/0xa60 [ 84.964446] [ T928] [c0000011a7157f30] [c000000000051de8] eeh_event_handler+0xf8/0x190 [ 84.964450] [ T928] [c0000011a7157f90] [c0000000002747ac] kthread+0x16c/0x180 [ 84.964453] [ T928] [c0000011a7157fe0] [c00000000000ded8] start_kernel_thread+0x14/0x18 </snip> Fixes: 1010b4c012b0 ("powerpc/eeh: Make EEH driver device hotplug safe") Signed-off-by: Narayana Murty N <nnmlinux@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Sourabh Jain <sourabhjain@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251210142559.8874-1-nnmlinux@linux.ibm.com

Commit 2997876c4a1a ("powerpc/32: Restore clearing of MSR[RI] at interrupt/syscall exit") delayed clearing of MSR[RI], but missed that both MSR[RI] and MSR[EE] are cleared at the same time, so the commit also delayed the disabling of interrupts, leading to unexpected behaviour. To fix that, mostly revert the blamed commit and restore the clearing of MSR[RI] in interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare() instead. For 8xx it implies adding a synchronising instruction after the mtspr in order to make sure no instruction counter interrupt (used for perf events) will fire just after clearing MSR[RI].

2025-12-22powerpc: Add reloc_offset() to font bitmap pointer used for bootx_printf()Finn Thain
Since Linux v6.7, booting using BootX on an Old World PowerMac produces an early crash. Stan Johnson writes, "the symptoms are that the screen goes blank and the backlight stays on, and the system freezes (Linux doesn't boot)." Further testing revealed that the failure can be avoided by disabling CONFIG_BOOTX_TEXT. Bisection revealed that the regression was caused by a change to the font bitmap pointer that's used when btext_init() begins painting characters on the display, early in the boot process. Christophe Leroy explains, "before kernel text is relocated to its final location ... data is addressed with an offset which is added to the Global Offset Table (GOT) entries at the start of bootx_init() by function reloc_got2(). But the pointers that are located inside a structure are not referenced in the GOT and are therefore not updated by reloc_got2(). It is therefore needed to apply the offset manually by using PTRRELOC() macro."

2025-11-18powerpc/64s/slb: Fix SLB multihit issue during SLB preloadDonet Tom
On systems using the hash MMU, there is a software SLB preload cache that mirrors the entries loaded into the hardware SLB buffer. This preload cache is subject to periodic eviction — typically after every 256 context switches — to remove old entry. To optimize performance, the kernel skips switch_mmu_context() in switch_mm_irqs_off() when the prev and next mm_struct are the same. However, on hash MMU systems, this can lead to inconsistencies between the hardware SLB and the software preload cache. If an SLB entry for a process is evicted from the software cache on one CPU, and the same process later runs on another CPU without executing switch_mmu_context(), the hardware SLB may retain stale entries. If the kernel then attempts to reload that entry, it can trigger an SLB multi-hit error. The following timeline shows how stale SLB entries are created and can cause a multi-hit error when a process moves between CPUs without a MMU context switch. CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- Process P exec swapper/1 load_elf_binary begin_new_exc activate_mm switch_mm_irqs_off switch_mmu_context switch_slb /* * This invalidates all * the entries in the HW * and setup the new HW * SLB entries as per the * preload cache. */ context_switch sched_migrate_task migrates process P to cpu-1 Process swapper/0 context switch (to process P) (uses mm_struct of Process P) switch_mm_irqs_off() switch_slb load_slb++ /* * load_slb becomes 0 here * and we evict an entry from * the preload cache with * preload_age(). We still * keep HW SLB and preload * cache in sync, that is * because all HW SLB entries * anyways gets evicted in * switch_slb during SLBIA. * We then only add those * entries back in HW SLB, * which are currently * present in preload_cache * (after eviction). */ load_elf_binary continues... setup_new_exec() slb_setup_new_exec() sched_switch event sched_migrate_task migrates process P to cpu-0 context_switch from swapper/0 to Process P switch_mm_irqs_off() /* * Since both prev and next mm struct are same we don't call * switch_mmu_context(). This will cause the HW SLB and SW preload * cache to go out of sync in preload_new_slb_context. Because there * was an SLB entry which was evicted from both HW and preload cache * on cpu-1. Now later in preload_new_slb_context(), when we will try * to add the same preload entry again, we will add this to the SW * preload cache and then will add it to the HW SLB. Since on cpu-0 * this entry was never invalidated, hence adding this entry to the HW * SLB will cause a SLB multi-hit error. */ load_elf_binary continues... START_THREAD start_thread preload_new_slb_context /* * This tries to add a new EA to preload cache which was earlier * evicted from both cpu-1 HW SLB and preload cache. This caused the * HW SLB of cpu-0 to go out of sync with the SW preload cache. The * reason for this was, that when we context switched back on CPU-0, * we should have ideally called switch_mmu_context() which will * bring the HW SLB entries on CPU-0 in sync with SW preload cache * entries by setting up the mmu context properly. But we didn't do * that since the prev mm_struct running on cpu-0 was same as the * next mm_struct (which is true for swapper / kernel threads). So * now when we try to add this new entry into the HW SLB of cpu-0, * we hit a SLB multi-hit error. */ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1810970 at arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/slb.c:62 assert_slb_presence+0x2c/0x50(48 results) 02:47:29 [20157/42149] Modules linked in: CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 1810970 Comm: dd Not tainted 6.16.0-rc3-dirty #12 VOLUNTARY Hardware name: IBM pSeries (emulated by qemu) POWER8 (architected) 0x4d0200 0xf000004 of:SLOF,HEAD hv:linux,kvm pSeries NIP: c00000000015426c LR: c0000000001543b4 CTR: 0000000000000000 REGS: c0000000497c77e0 TRAP: 0700 Not tainted (6.16.0-rc3-dirty) MSR: 8000000002823033 <SF,VEC,VSX,FP,ME,IR,DR,RI,LE> CR: 28888482 XER: 00000000 CFAR: c0000000001543b0 IRQMASK: 3 <...> NIP [c00000000015426c] assert_slb_presence+0x2c/0x50 LR [c0000000001543b4] slb_insert_entry+0x124/0x390 Call Trace: 0x7fffceb5ffff (unreliable) preload_new_slb_context+0x100/0x1a0 start_thread+0x26c/0x420 load_elf_binary+0x1b04/0x1c40 bprm_execve+0x358/0x680 do_execveat_common+0x1f8/0x240 sys_execve+0x58/0x70 system_call_exception+0x114/0x300 system_call_common+0x160/0x2c4 >From the above analysis, during early exec the hardware SLB is cleared, and entries from the software preload cache are reloaded into hardware by switch_slb. However, preload_new_slb_context and slb_setup_new_exec also attempt to load some of the same entries, which can trigger a multi-hit. In most cases, these additional preloads simply hit existing entries and add nothing new. Removing these functions avoids redundant preloads and eliminates the multi-hit issue. This patch removes these two functions. We tested process switching performance using the context_switch benchmark on POWER9/hash, and observed no regression.

2025-11-14powerpc/smp: Expose die_id and die_cpumaskSrikar Dronamraju
>From Power10 processors onwards, each chip has 2 hemispheres. For LPARs running on PowerVM Hypervisor, hypervisor determines the allocation of CPU groups to each LPAR, resulting in two LPARs with the same number of CPUs potentially having different numbers of CPUs from each hemisphere. Additionally, it is not feasible to ascertain the hemisphere based solely on the CPU number. Users wishing to assign their workload to all CPUs, or a subset of CPUs within a specific hemisphere, encounter difficulties in identifying the cpumask. To address this, it is proposed to expose hemisphere information as a die in sysfs. This aligns with other architectures and facilitates the identification of CPUs within the same hemisphere. Tools such as lstopo can also access this information. Please note: The hypervisor reveals the locality of the CPUs to hemispheres only in dedicated mode. Consequently, in systems where hemisphere information is unavailable, such as shared LPARs, the die_cpus information in sysfs will mirror package_cpus, with die_id set to -1.

2025-11-11powerpc/32: Restore clearing of MSR[RI] at interrupt/syscall exitChristophe Leroy
Commit 13799748b957 ("powerpc/64: use interrupt restart table to speed up return from interrupt") removed the inconditional clearing of MSR[RI] when returning from interrupt into kernel. But powerpc/32 doesn't implement interrupt restart table hence still need MSR[RI] to be cleared. It could be added back in interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare() but it is easier and better to add it back in entry_32.S for following reasons: - Writing to MSR must be followed by a synchronising instruction - The smaller the non recoverable section is the better it is So add a macro called clr_ri and use it in the three places that play up with SRR0/SRR1. Use it just before another mtspr for synchronisation to avoid having to add an isync. Now that's done in entry_32.S, exit_must_hard_disable() can return false for non book3s/64, taking into account that BOOKE doesn't have MSR_RI. Also add back blacklisting syscall_exit_finish for kprobe. This was initially added by commit 7cdf44013885 ("powerpc/entry32: Blacklist syscall exit points for kprobe.") then lost with commit 6f76a01173cc ("powerpc/syscall: implement system call entry/exit logic in C for PPC32").

2025-11-11powerpc/kdump: Add support for crashkernel CMA reservationSourabh Jain
Commit 35c18f2933c5 ("Add a new optional ",cma" suffix to the crashkernel= command line option") and commit ab475510e042 ("kdump: implement reserve_crashkernel_cma") added CMA support for kdump crashkernel reservation. Extend crashkernel CMA reservation support to powerpc. The following changes are made to enable CMA reservation on powerpc: - Parse and obtain the CMA reservation size along with other crashkernel parameters - Call reserve_crashkernel_cma() to allocate the CMA region for kdump - Include the CMA-reserved ranges in the usable memory ranges for the kdump kernel to use. - Exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the crash kernel memory to prevent them from being exported through /proc/vmcore. With the introduction of the CMA crashkernel regions, crash_exclude_mem_range() needs to be called multiple times to exclude both crashk_res and crashk_cma_ranges from the crash memory ranges. To avoid repetitive logic for validating mem_ranges size and handling reallocation when required, this functionality is moved to a new wrapper function crash_exclude_mem_range_guarded(). To ensure proper CMA reservation, reserve_crashkernel_cma() is called after pageblock_order is initialized. Update kernel-parameters.txt to document CMA support for crashkernel on powerpc architecture.

2025-10-27iommu: Pass in old domain to attach_dev callback functionsNicolin Chen
The IOMMU core attaches each device to a default domain on probe(). Then, every new "attach" operation has a fundamental meaning of two-fold: - detach from its currently attached (old) domain - attach to a given new domain Modern IOMMU drivers following this pattern usually want to clean up the things related to the old domain, so they call iommu_get_domain_for_dev() to fetch the old domain. Pass in the old domain pointer from the core to drivers, aligning with the set_dev_pasid op that does so already. Ensure all low-level attach fcuntions in the core can forward the correct old domain pointer. Thus, rework those functions as well.

Select PCI Power Control Slot driver so slot voltage rails can be turned on/off if described in Root Port devicetree node (Qiang Yu) - Parse only PCI bridge child nodes in devicetree, skipping unrelated nodes such as OPP (Operating Performance Points), which caused probe failures (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru) -

2025-09-25arch: Add the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS to all the asm-offsets.cMenglong Dong
The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can happen. For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h, which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first, it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included by it. In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h". And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this purpose. Signed-off-by: Menglong Dong <dongml2@chinatelecom.cn> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org>

2025-09-16powerpc/ftrace: support CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RETVALAditya Bodkhe
commit a1be9ccc57f0 ("function_graph: Support recording and printing the return value of function") introduced support for function graph return value tracing. Additionally, commit a3ed4157b7d8 ("fgraph: Replace fgraph_ret_regs with ftrace_regs") further refactored and optimized the implementation, making `struct fgraph_ret_regs` unnecessary. This patch enables the above modifications for powerpc all, ensuring that function graph return value tracing is available on this architecture. In this patch we have redefined two functions: - 'ftrace_regs_get_return_value()' - the existing implementation on ppc returns -ve of return value based on some conditions not relevant to our patch. - 'ftrace_regs_get_frame_pointer()' - always returns 0 in current code . We also allocate stack space to equivalent of 'SWITCH_FRAME_SIZE', allowing us to directly use predefined offsets like 'GPR3' and 'GPR4' this keeps code clean and consistent with already defined offsets . After this patch, v6.14+ kernel can also be built with FPROBE on powerpc but there are a few other build and runtime dependencies for FPROBE to work properly. The next patch addresses them.

2025-09-15powerpc64/modules: replace stub allocation sentinel with an explicit counterJoe Lawrence
The logic for allocating ppc64_stub_entry trampolines in the .stubs section relies on an inline sentinel, where a NULL .funcdata member indicates an available slot. While preceding commits fixed the initialization bugs that led to ftrace stub corruption, the sentinel-based approach remains fragile: it depends on an implicit convention between subsystems modifying different struct types in the same memory area. Replace the sentinel with an explicit counter, module->arch.num_stubs. Instead of iterating through memory to find a NULL marker, the module loader uses this counter as the boundary for the next free slot. This simplifies the allocation code, hardens it against future changes to stub structures, and removes the need for an extra relocation slot previously reserved to terminate the sentinel search.
